Another hooker off the market with Siliva Havili signed for 2 years by Souths. He's done pretty well for himself since leaving.

For every Marcelo Montoya signing there’s a Kane Evans one, wouldn’t know until he’s here whether he’s in the Montoya category as plenty said the same of him before he arrived. One things for sure is that we’re after a backup hooker, apparently we want to swap Nikorima for Havili from souths.
I dont mind Siliva Havili.
I think he is better than Marshall King from the Bulldogs.
Siliva has got a great league phsyique and you know a few clubs have seen value in him.
Its been commented that sometimes our guys have to get away from Auckland to improve.
Why dont we get a few more of our under 20 s grand final heroes from a few years ago back.
Lino and Havili.

I should have said apparently we wanted, rabbits weren’t interested in giving up Havili. We approached them for a trade.

Remember that pre season when he passed out while doing the army training and everyone got into him about being soft?
I didn’t get that- the guy pushed himself passed his physical limits.
I’ve been reading Cameron smiths book and he talks about a couple of guys who had to be taken to hospital during storm trainings- he respected that.

Rabbitohs extend contract of Siliva Havili until at least the end of 2025
South Sydney RabbitohsTue 24 Jan 2023, 04:57 PM
The South Sydney Rabbitohs are delighted to announce the contract extension of international forward Siliva Havili for a further two seasons today.
Havili will be wearing the famous red and green jersey of the Rabbitohs until at least the end of the 2025 season with this extension, well earned after his first season playing for South Sydney in 2022.
Havili, 29, has played 127 NRL matches so far in his career, including 23 games for South Sydney, since making his debut for the Warriors in 2014.
Siliva has gone on to play 15 Tests for Tonga and one Test match for New Zealand over the past ten seasons.
Havili says he has made a home here at South Sydney.
“The family and I have really enjoyed the move to Sydney, especially to this Club in South Sydney,” Havili said.
“The Members and fans have been great to me, as have the Club and the staff.
“It’s really exciting times and I can’t wait to see what we can achieve in the coming years.”
Rabbitohs Head of Football, Mark Ellison, says he is very pleased to be working alongside Havili for a further two years.
“Siliva had a great year for us in 2022, showing his utility value throughout the forward pack and providing punch for us whether he starts the game or comes off the interchange bench,” Mr Ellison said.
“He has also proven to be a leader amongst the squad, particularly with the young Pasifika players at our Club. He was a leading force behind our round three fundraising efforts for the tsunami-affected people of Tonga last season and he provides great guidance and strength for young guys like Keaon Koloamatangi, Davvy Moale, Josiah Karapani and Daniel Suluka Fifita.
“We’re all excited to see him extend his time here at the Rabbitohs and we’re looking forward to seeing him rip in again in 2023 and beyond.”

Look at the some of the comments on the first page of his forum.
Goes from exciting prospect to ‘get rid him of him he’s useless’ in the space of a page.
No wonder our juniors have to go elsewhere to kick on, the fans have as much perseverance with our kids as the club does.
Ref
He’s had a really good last couple of years as a quality off the bench middle forward. His go forward is impressive. He can cover hooker off the bench too as you would expect. Perfect bench player.
Noitall
We’ve produced a few of his mould that all came through at similar times, Jazz Tevaga is another that covers similar positions and also Erin Clark at the titans. Good utilities to have on the bench.
Ref
Good call.
I prefer Jazz over the other two though.
He is unorthodox in attack.
Good legs tackler.
Unheralded as a youngster.
Noitall
And the attitude is second to none. Doesn’t back down to anybody, starting to be smarter with it.
Ref
By the time he returns from injury, hopefully we are playing so well that he can’t make the 17 and has to show his wares in the NSW Cup. How good would that be!

Quite happy to see Havili carve himself a niche at the Bunnies. Had to do it the hard way through the Dragons feeder team. He played all his 10 games for top side in 2016. He spent the whole of 2017 in reserve grade.
Was lucky Hodgson was injured most of the season in 2018 but credit where its due, he took that opportunity and showed what he could do.
I got to talk to him just before he left for St George and he was pretty broke and looking to sell jerseys. He was going over there on a wing and a prayer but still hungry to chase the dream. Meant leaving his wife and kid behind till he was set up. Only makes the payoff more rewarding.
Just reiterates my point of players, especially juniors, being much better served being developed in Australia and well away from this club...

I had I’m in my fantasy team in 2019 so I was watching him closely and was blown away by how tough and game smart he was.
I was gutted for him when he played all those games and then missed out on the GF run.
