SOUTH Sydney's general manager, broadcaster Alan Jones, said the Rabbitohs' successful appeal against expulsion from the National Rugby League will lead to a resurgence in the game. 
"The history book suggests that South Sydney are an integral part of the game, and they have been for so many years, and this is a victory for common sense," Jones said. 


"And it's to be hoped now that the forces who have influence in the game decide that we've had enough bitterness, enough court battles, enough crying, enough unhappiness and enough alienation. 


"The game desperately needs to be put back together again and we must use this decision today now to mobilise all the best forces in rugby league for the best interests."


He said the NRL now have the opportunity to bring those back to the game who have been driven away.
