To the Esteemed Board of Directors at South Sydney,
South Sydney is a proud and passionate club for the past 110 years where we've seen Rainbows and Rollercoaster's - 2014 was a year to remember for all involved with the club from the players to the support staff and so on.
We can all agree that the club has not gone in the direction it would of liked to after our 21st premiership - On a personal note I feel we have inadequately maintained our recruitment and retention over the past three seasons with the losses of Chris McQueen, Dylan Walker, Issac Luke, Luke Keary, Angus Crichton and Ben Te'o for very little in return.
Some of which went to the re-acquisition of Sam Burgess; I can understand that however that is still a lot of talent to lose for just one man.
I feel the overall performance of current Director of Football Shane Richardson has been nothing short of unacceptable - To leave on a World Cup duties in the middle of negotiations with a key contract on the line is unforgivable because of his attentiveness not being fully focused on the club when he was needed.
We all agree that the club has to move forward in key areas and one decision has already been made in the head coaching role - I believe 2018 has to be a year where we are given the opportunity for a fresh approach in certain areas.
For those who sign this contract will have resentment towards the club and Shane Richardson with this being the final straw.
We will present you with this petition once we have adequate numbers.
Regards
Fletcher - 2018 Rabbitohs Member.

The volume of support has now reached a point where it demands a formal response from the board. I am currently finalizing a letter to deliver directly to the directors requesting a meeting to review these specific recruitment failures.

We need to start been a little like the Roosters. They seem to ALWAYS get their man. We don’t, we throw a couple of crumbs out, and see if anyone is interested. The Roosters play each season as if they want to be premiers, we don’t. We don’t have the hunger that we should. It might be a good time for a major clean out (I’m talking about management).
Not happy with the reject people Souths employed who don't know how to run the so called club. I no longer will do my membership ever again that's 4 memberships but not just mine..all up their is over 30 of friends and family will not sign again. Not happy with the Direction South are heading
Is Richardson deliberately trying to sabotage the club. First Madge. Then this. Re ruitment and retention are a joke. Will we be losing Fuji and Cody as well. Have we no money , no brains and no heart. Club is becoming second rate. Souths and the supporters don't deserve this.
We are losing too many class players, and apart from Gagai, replacing them with Reserve Graders. Not good enough. Richardson has to go.
Shane Richardson needs to be held accountable not reaching expectation(s) in certain areas of recruitment and retention - Losing Angus Crichton was I feel the final straw. He has to be held partly accountable in the dip of form from South Sydney within the past three NRL seasons also.
As a member for 11 yrs i am disappointed that since 2014 we have become a mediocre club why are we losing on and off the field i want answers to what the hell is going on.

Richardson must go after loosing Crichton and now apparently loosing Cody Walker where does this end. But also resigning and increasing the contract of the soft and bitter fingered Burgess Twins we need to have a look at him. Also the ordinary way Madge was sacked and not allowed to address the players he now needs to be the one to be shown the door immediately.
