As Wayne Bennett prepares to take the reins at South Sydney Rabbitohs next season, the legendary coach is already making waves in the NRL transfer market. Bennett’s influence is evident with key departures and potential signings that could reshape the Rabbitohs’ lineup for the upcoming seasons.

One of the major moves orchestrated by Bennett includes allowing Damien Cook to depart for the Dragons, a decision that frees up substantial salary cap space. Reports suggest this move alone could clear around $1 million, setting the stage for further recruitment maneuvers.

Bennett has wasted no time in bolstering the Rabbitohs’ squad, securing the services of English playmaker Lewis Dodd and eyeing additional signings to strengthen both the backline and the forward pack. According to Fox League’s James Hooper, there’s strong speculation that hooker Brandon Smith might make a switch to rival Roosters, highlighting Bennett’s intent to reshape the squad to his liking.

In a significant development, The Daily Telegraph’s Michael Carrayannis reports that Bennett is close to finalizing a deal to bring Euan Aitken to South Sydney. A versatile player who has proven his worth at the Dolphins, Aitken is expected to sign a multi-year contract, adding depth and experience to the Rabbitohs’ lineup.

Furthermore, Bennett is keen on reinforcing the middle of the field, aiming to inject more power and resilience into the Rabbitohs’ forward pack. Names like Jack de Belin and Royce Hunt have surfaced in discussions, with Hunt emerging as a likely candidate to bolster South Sydney’s defensive capabilities.

The potential recruitment of Tevita Pangai Junior also looms large, contingent upon his performance at the Dolphins. Pangai Junior, who recently returned to NRL from a stint in boxing, could add significant firepower to the Rabbitohs’ forward line if he maintains his form and fitness.

As Bennett continues to shape the future of South Sydney, his strategic approach to recruitment and squad management is poised to make a profound impact on the club’s competitiveness in the upcoming seasons. With bold moves already underway, Rabbitohs fans can anticipate an exciting period of transformation under Bennett’s leadership.
