South Sydney have solved the first piece of their contract puzzle by securing halfback Lachlan Ilias until the end of 2025 in the days before the finals series.
Ilias and his teammates in the Rabbitohs' spine - Latrell Mitchell, Cody Walker and Damien Cook - had all been set to come off contract at the end of 2023 and able to negotiate with rival clubs from November 1 this year.
