28 Feb 2002
The NRL need to make full use of the opportunity the re-admission of Souths has created. Souths bring back something that has been missing since they were outed from the NRL. Passion, guts, and a fighting spirit that we haven’t seen in years. What Souths offer the NRL in just positive exposure for League alone, simply I believe can't even begin to be measured.
World of Rugby League

9 Feb 2002
The Knights did that against the odds last year, but an even more monumental win was the court victory that paved the way for South Sydney's return to the competition after a two-year absence.

As soon as the decision was handed down, those red-and-green car stickers proclaiming the Rabbitohs' return started appearing everywhere, and the anticipation for season 2002 has been building ever since.

It will reach a crescendo next Saturday night when 40,000 people pack the Sydney Football Stadium for Souths' comeback match against St George Illawarra in the Charity Shield - a glorified trial match.

Only two players in the Rabbitohs' line-up, Jacin Sinclair and Paul McNicholas, have played for the club before, but all 42 off-season recruits know the responsibility on their shoulders.

The Souths story is nostalgia on such a level as to make Allan Langer's shock recall by Queensland in last season's State of Origin decider seem almost insignificant.

Souths are yet to announce which of Kerry Stokes's private companies will be their major sponsor this season, but in the meantime the Rabbitohs will wear the name and logo of The Sydney Children's Hospital on their jerseys. The arrangement - covering all three of Souths' pre-season matches, including the Charity Shield - is part of an alliance formed between the club and the SCH, which will receive a percentage of merchandise sales from the Rabbitohs' official jersey manufacturer, ISC Clothing.
