South Sydney Rabbitohs Confirm Nine Player Departures
The South Sydney Rabbitohs have announced the exit of nine players following their final match of the 2025 NRL season against the Sydney Roosters last weekend.
Previously confirmed departures include Ben Lovett (retirement), Haizyn Mellars (moving to New Zealand Warriors), and Mikaele Ravalawa (joining Castleford Tigers). The Rabbitohs have now disclosed that six additional players will also be leaving.
The players leaving the club are Fletcher Myers, Gerome Burns, Jacob Host, Josh Schuster, Shaquai Mitchell, and Siliva Havili.
"Firstly, we would like to thank all of these players for their service to the Rabbitohs over the years," stated Rabbitohs CEO Blake Solly.
"They have all contributed to the Club in various ways, whether it is on the field of play, helping prepare teams on the training ground, or contributing to the community through Souths Cares and other initiatives.
"Jacob played in a Grand Final for the Club in 2021 and has always given everything he has to the Rabbitohs jersey.
"Siliva and Shaq have also played representative football whilst at the Club and we thank them for their efforts."
