The South Sydney Rabbitohs are facing internal unrest as Rod Churchill, son of the club's immortalised legend Clive Churchill, has publicly backed a fan-led movement demanding the removal of CEO Blake Solly.
In a dramatic show of dissatisfaction, supporters marched on the club's headquarters this week, calling for Solly's dismissal following a string of disappointing performances and perceived mismanagement.
A Legacy Divided
Rod Churchill, whose father remains one of the most revered figures in Rabbitohs history, has thrown his considerable influence behind the growing rebellion. "The club has lost its way," Churchill declared, echoing sentiments shared by many long-time supporters.
Mounting Pressure
The protest comes at a critical juncture for the NRL side, currently languishing near the bottom of the league table. Fans point to questionable recruitment decisions and deteriorating team culture as key reasons for their discontent with Solly's leadership.
Club officials have so far resisted calls for Solly's removal, but with a legend's son now openly challenging the administration, the pressure appears to be mounting rapidly.
