Brandon Smith considers mid-season move to Rabbitohs
Brandon Smith is considering a mid-season move to the South Sydney Rabbitohs, despite being under contract with the Sydney Roosters. His comments about the Rabbitohs have caused tension among his Roosters teammates. Smith is recovering from a knee injury and is expected to return in round 15. The Rabbitohs are reportedly interested in signing him for 2026 and 2027, but any immediate transfer would require financial negotiations between the two clubs. Souths have limited salary cap space, making a quick deal challenging. The Rabbitohs' captain is likely out for the season, and Smith could help fill that gap if he joins.
