Bud Sullivan takes pay cut to stay at South Sydney Rabbitohs rather than return to Wests Tigers

“This is a special group of people we have here at South Sydney – players, coaches, administration, members and fans – and I’m certain we can achieve some great things in the coming years,” Walker said in a statement.

“There are some wonderful young talents in our playing group and I see my role as helping mentor them to become regular NRL players, whilst also producing top performances of my own on the field for the team. I know we can achieve great things and I want to be part of that.

“But what is really important to my partner Amy and I is that our family loves this club, and we feel like we are part of the Rabbitohs family. My boys are growing up as Rabbitohs. My eldest son, Kian, has earned his own red and green jersey in the junior rep development teams; my middle son, Kade, is beside me on the field as a ballboy; and my baby son, Kora, is starting to recognise the Rabbitohs logo and the colours that we all represent.
