Jamie Humphreys Named John Sattler Rookie of the Year for 2025

Rabbitohs half Jamie Humphreys has won the John Sattler Rookie of the Year award for the 2025 season, presented by captain, teammate and former rookie of the year recipient, Cameron Murray, at the Royal Randwick Racecourse tonight.

Humphreys, 23, joined the Rabbitohs this season from the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles and earned the Club’s number seven jersey with some great form in the pre-season trial matches.

Humphreys has gone on to play 19 NRL games this season, scoring a try, kicking 15 goals, and a match-winning field goal in the Club’s round two victory over the Dragons in Wollongong.

Humphreys, in his first full season of NRL football, has kicked for over 6000 metres, had four try assists, made almost 450 tackles at a tackle efficiency of over 90%, as well as running for an average of 57 metres per game.

Humphreys eye-catching performances, particularly early in season, made him a strong contender for not only the Rabbitohs’ Rookie of the Year award, but also the NRL’s Dally M Rookie of the Year award in 2025.

The Rookie of the Year award is named after one of South Sydney’s most inspirational players of all time in the form of the legendary John Sattler. Sattler captained the Rabbitohs to four Premiership victories in five years from 1967 to 1971, including the famous 1970 Grand Final in which he played for 77 minutes of the game with a jaw broken in three places.

Jamie has become one of the Members’ favourite players to watch and is a worthy recipient of the John Sattler Rookie of the Year award for 2025.
