South South South Sydney Reggie Rabbit’s mascot pushed a nine -year -old boy for a match – now a football star revealed his gross waterfall with junior players and a raw chicken chicken

Peter Mamouzelos still remembers his first taste for the rivalry of South Sydney with the Roosters of Sydney: he involved a raw chicken and a retired drummer disguised as rabbit.

While Mamouzelos and the under 16s of Rabbitohs, the side of Harold Matthews, were preparing to face their Rival Arch in Redfern Oval in March 2017, Reggie Rabbit entered the locker room.

South players were used to listening when they were pronounced by the diminutive Reggie, the alter ego of the former Panel drummer Charlie Gallico which has been the club mascot since their reintegration in the NNR in 2002.

On this occasion, Reggie had brought an accessory to help her make media.

“He gave us a little speech,” recalls Mamouzelos before the conflict of the LNR de la Manche de Friday with the Roosters.

“He brought a raw chicken and said,” This morning, I went out and I caught up a chicken! “And he started to remove this raw chicken.

Reggie has mutilated a raw chicken in hangars before the match under 16 in 2017 to shoot young guns – including Peter Mamouzelos

At the beginning, Mamouzelos and his teammates did not know if they were to be inspired or confused as Gallico gestured with dead chicken.

“We were 15 years old, looking at each other like” What’s going on? ” “, He said.

But Revie’s Rev-up worked a treat for the young guns, who took a 22-4 advance advance at a 28-18 victory against the Roosters.

“Everyone was rooted, everyone ran ready to run through a brick wall,” he said before his third LNR battle with the Habs.

“From an early age, you are taught as a south player to hate roosters and as a rooster player, to hate the south.

“You go to another level.

The multicultural round assignment marks the first time of Mamouzelos to play the roosters as a starting puér, after having passed recent seasons stuck behind St George Illawarra recruit Damien Cook.

“I just have the impression that my patience was rewarded,” said the Greek international.

“I had a lot of time to work on my game, and now that I’m here, I’m just trying to put my best foot forward and do my best every week.

Reggie will also be on his best behavior at the Accor stadium on Friday after being criticized for a recent altering with a child on the day of the match during the third round at Shark Park.

Gallico has apologized since.

But Mamouzelos hoped that, for well-being, the mascot would stop again via the poultry aisle of the supermarket on the way to the game.

“I hope Reggie starts again, put the boys for that,” he said, laughing.
