Yes, we release him to Souths whom agreed to signed him if we took on 150k of his salary, from memory, rather than than the 350k we chipped in last year.

the club should say to skelton loom you are u signed from 2027 and we are likely not going to play you in first grade in 2026 except for injuries.
He might then find NZ and a potential centre role appealing

Rabbitohs extend contract of Jayden Sullivan for Seasons 2026 and 2027 – South Sydney Rabbitohs
The South Sydney Rabbitohs are delighted to announce the contract extension of half Jayden ‘Bud’ Sullivan for the 2026 and 2027 seasons today.www.rabbitohs.com.au
Sullivan, 24, joined the Rabbitohs in 2025 on a one-year deal, however his performances throughout the season have earned him a two-year contract extension with the Club following a release from the remainder of his contract with the Wests Tigers.
This news article says that the Tigers agreed to pay “part of his freight “ to enable the Souths extension announced in Sept 25 for years 26 and 27, along with Bud taking a $100k paycut …
Given the Tigers were motivated sellers to move on ,,,it was probably $250k each from Souths and the Tigers given the original deal was $600k per year and he took a $100k haircut
Rabbitohs half takes six-figure pay cut to stay rather than return to Tigers
Due to return to the Wests Tigers at the expiration of his loan deal at the end of the season, Bud Sullivan has taken a big pay cut to remain a Rabbitoh.

Will these former Tigers mainly play cup?
Daine Laurie, Raiders
Josh Feledy, Manly
Tyson Gamble, Knights
Asu Kepaoa, Knights
Jayden Sullivan, Souths
Junior Pauga, Roosters
Junior Tupou, Roosters
Tommy Talau, Roosters
I'd say Laurie, Sullivan and Talau may see some first grade this year.
How much depends on other factors.

But then how do you convince Barnett that it's a great proposition to come here when his family are north of Newcastle.

Still with the Aaron Woods hate here.
He was an elite middle 10 years ago. Easily our best.

All good …. None of us will probably never know the 100% story …
That’s why I call to make it public 😂

what he did to the club while captain trying to get tedesco, moses, woods over th dogs was ordinary. Hasler was keen on tedesco and woods but no interest in Moses.
That season before he left woods was one of the best props goubg around in the comp, his form fell off a cliff at the dogs and never recovered.
Wasn’t it somewhere stated that the 100k we are chipping in towards Sullivan’s contract being evened out by the Broncos chipping in 100k towards Madden’s contract ?
And while Sullivan still has some potential, I’m much happier with Madden.

Nofo is the tigers all time leading try scorer, but what will his legacy be? I'd say he will be quickly forgotten. Sad really.

Lets hope our right hand defense is better this season
100% Tom and being a local kid and knowing his old man i may be a little biased but i was dirty that we also paid Maddens wage on top to fill the same position.This news article says that the Tigers agreed to pay “part of his freight “ to enable the Souths extension announced in Sept 25 for years 26 and 27, along with Bud taking a $100k paycut …

Yeah very confusing situation considering he wants to come home to be near family members in Newcastle due to his circumstances yet there talking abt Broncos being a strong chance. I think Newcastle will be where he goes.
