The 1920's were the Rabbitohs' first rise to prominence, winning seven out of eight premierships between 1925 to 1932. It was at this time that the Club was famously coined as 'The Pride of the League', after winning every game of the 1925 season, which is still the only time a Club has done so in the competition's history. This period saw the likes of Benny Wearing, Alf 'Smacker' Blair and George Treweek make their mark on Rabbitohs' history.
