Souths won the premiership again in 1909, and were runners-up to Newtown in 1910 before winning as well in 1914 and 1918.
After a long, barren period, Souths shone again in the late forties under the leadership of Jack Rayner and were premiers in 1950, 1951, 1953, 1954 and 1955.
However, the most painful chapter in the club’s magnificent history came in 1999, when Souths were axed from the NRL in the governing body’s charter to reduce the competition to 14 teams.

Souths was a team of plenty of courage and that was highlighted by captain John Sattler in the 1970 grand final when in the early minutes he was "king-hit" late and unexpectedly by Manly prop John Bucknall.
Souths fought their way back through the court rooms and public rallies generating a swell of support throughout Sydney and Australia as they took on the heavies at the NRL and News Limited.

 Balmain Tigers beat South Sydney Rabbitohs 1969 Rugby League Grand Final
Balmain's victory was built on staunch defence which forced elementary mistakes from Souths and grinded their opponents to an unfashionable but one of the greatest premiership victories.

Most definately fairytale premiership success for the Balmain club as South Sydney were enjoying their last golden era when they won four out of five premierships between 1967-71.
