When Will Souths Head North on the Ladder?
Dear Souths Rabbitohs fans, life is never dull for you, is it?
According to zerotackle.com, you must be yearning for the glory days between 2012 and 2022.
Those eleven seasons were a stark contrast to the current struggles faced by the team.
During that golden era, the Rabbitohs enjoyed significant achievements, including a premiership in 2014 and a runner-up finish in 2021.
They reached the preliminary finals in six out of the nine other seasons, making it a remarkable period for the club.
They even managed to make the finals in another year; in 2015, they finished seventh but were eliminated in the first round.
This marked the beginning of a gradual decline that eventually led to the replacements of coaches Michael McGuire, Anthony Seibold, and Wayne Bennett.
Fortunately, both Seibold and Bennett helped stabilize the team's performance during their tenures.
Overall, this eleven-season span saw the Rabbitohs compete in nine finals campaigns, securing one championship and a runners-up finish.
One can't help but wonder how many NRL clubs' fans would envy such a glorious time in their team's history.
