Former Test star Terry Hill believes South Sydney needs to send out an ‘SOS’ to club legend Craig Coleman to help the Rabbitohs out of their current slump.
Souths are in the wars, having lost three of their past four games and conceding 30 or more points on each occasion.
And Hill believes Souths coach Jason Demetriou and the players need Coleman’s vast experience to get their premiership challenge back on track.

“There is no one more South Sydney than Craig Coleman,” said Hill, a Bunnies junior who began his top grade career at the club in 1990 before playing for Easts, Wests, Manly, New South Wales and Australia.
“He played for Souths, he captained them and coached them.
“He knows what makes the club tick, is respected by the players and has a great football mind.
“He bleeds red and green and has the smartest football brain that I’ve ever known.
“‘Tugger’ has unbelievable football knowledge – I was coached by Warren Ryan, Phil Gould and Bob Fulton and he is up there with them.”
Hill believes getting Coleman as an advisor for coach Jason Demetriou would be a massive mid-season boost for the Rabbitohs.
“They are in a hole and can’t find their way out at the moment,” he said.
“Craig is a great mentor and he is going to waste not involved in the game any more.
“He played a huge role in starting my career and I think he could really help the current players find their confidence again.”
