George Piggins had a chat to Jason Demetiou today at Redfern.

Live & Free

We kicked off our live stream coverage around 9am this morning. The broadcast lasted just under 30 minutes and we featured as many Rabbitohs as we could focus on during that time.

As a bonus we also went live on our Instagram and later on our TikTok page. It was a busy but enjoyable morning of content creation for Bunnies TV. I also filmed a walk around ‘Training TV’ video on my iPhone 14.

He’s flying…

Legends At Redfern

Among the crowd today were two of the Rabbitohs all time greatest players, George Piggins and Bob McCarthy. Browny and I were ecstatic when George posed for a photo with us just before he left the ground.
