Rabbitohs hit back at Cook claim

Let's go to sales. Richo's old club. Yep, two of their favourites, 2 greats of the borough. Yep, they're third on the list tonight. Yeah, Damien Cook, there's been obviously talk now that if he wants to extend his football career beyond next year, he's going to have to look elsewhere and he's aware of that. Now. This is where the scuttle around this comes in is there's been rumours, which S have told me they're aware of today, that he may be moved on. He may be being moved on because of leaks from the club. Now they've said that is absolute rubbish. Think he's the leaker they were, well they were making. That was the scuttle, The scuttle. So I put it to them today. They said that is incorrect. Damien will not be asked to move on early from the club. Instead they want to honour him in the best possible way and give him the send off that he deserves as a player. And James has also been a lot of scuttlebutt about Alex Johnson and whether he was part of the plans for South Sydney going forward. I put that to South again today and they wanna make it very clear Alex Johnson is in Wayne Bennett's plan so he will be there next year. Johnson's Hollywood 1010 or so tries twenty tries off breaking the the all time try scoring record and with Cookie, is it true he's been offered a two year deal from another clock Dragons? So how can the Dragons have come in when he's still on the contract? I think well, they must be given permission. He must have got permission to negotiate so.
