An internal review at South Sydney could result in massive changes at Redfern including moving Latrell Mitchell out of the fullback position - while rumours continue to swirl that Sam Burgesscould return to coach the Bunnies.
Mitchell is firmly under the pump at Souths following an injury-disrupted year that saw the son of NRL legend Clive Churchill label him a 'cancer' on the team in a message to club chairman Nick Pappas.
The representative star has become the face of Souths annus horribilis that saw the Bunnies crash from being raging competition favourites to missing the finals altogether.
It could result in Mitchell being dumped from the fullback position for incoming superstar Jack Wighton as Souths conduct a review on every element of the football department.
Meanwhile, Souths have been forced to hose down speculation that a trade deal could see Souths coach JasonDemetriou go to the Super League, and Burgess stay in Australia.
Souths officials told the Sydney Morning Heraldthey weren't trying to get rid of Demetriou after an official at Warrington, where Burgess will take over as head coach, said the club had been told a high-ranking Bunnies staffer wanted the Englishman to consider returning as head coach.
