Source: www.rabbitohs.com.auThe South Sydney Rabbitohs will drop four players from its NRL side, as well as make a change to its captaincy, for this Sunday's game against the North Queensland Cowboys at ANZ Stadium at 3pm.
The Rabbitohs will make Ben Rogers, Jaiman Lowe, Eddie Paea and Fetuli Talanoa unavailable for selection this week, and David Kidwell will relinquish his co-captaincy, after breaches to the players' standards following the game against the Brisbane Broncos last Friday night.
The players, in consultation with the captains, set a standard of a zero breath-alcohol limit at the team's regeneration session on Saturday morning and these five players failed to meet that standard.
Rabbitohs Director of Football Operations Shane Richardson said:
"The players set themselves a standard which the club agreed with following last Friday night's game, and these players didn't meet these standards.
"We want to point out that the players didn't cause any trouble, however as a Club we take these standards very seriously and action has been taken to reflect our stance.
"The coaching staff feel very strongly about this as it goes to the heart of what we're trying to do here as a Club."South Sydney Football Club Executive Chairman Peter Holmes a Court said:
"We are seeking to be disciplined and professional in everything we do. This action by the Coach and the Football Department shows that we are serious about maintaining the standards set by the Club and the players each and every week."Head Coach Jason Taylor has promoted Dean Widders back into the NRL line up at five-eighth with Issac Luke shifting to halfback. Rookie John Tamanika will make his NRL debut on the wing, with Beau Falloon and Eddy Pettybourne getting a call-up into the NRL side on the interchange bench.
The Rabbitohs NRL side is:
1. Nathan Merritt
2. John Tamanika
3. Nigel Vagana
4. Beau Champion
5. Germaine Paulson
6. Dean Widders

The Rabbitohs made the semi-finals for the first time in 18 years in 2007, and have strengthened their season ticketed Membership to over 6,500 with over 12,000 total members in 2008.

New Zealand Rugby League chairman Ray Haffenden said Gary Kemble's position as Kiwi coach remained unchanged after today's board meeting.
Kemble has been in Sydney meeting players in the wake of public criticism earlier this week from captain Roy Asotasi and senior international David Kidwell.
"We discussed the situation in and around the coaching position but, as Gary was in Sydney, there is nothing new we can add on this issue," said Haffenden.
"We will meet with Gary early next week to find out what information he has been able to gather after this week's events."Haffenden said the board did not discuss whether any action would be taken against Asotasi and Kidwell over their media comments this week.
