"It's fantastic, it's a great in my eyes," he told the Daily Liberal.

"Everyone's got their team, but the Rabbitohs are the best team and there's no two ways about it," he said.

"I've got one dedicated room to South Sydney in my house which my wife calls the 'Rabbitohs room', and our bedroom is completely covered in South Sydney stuff as well," he said.

Mr Knee has been supporting the club for as long as he can remember, and said it began right here in Dubbo.

"I was from West Dubbo originally and I played league for West Dubbo and we were the Westside Rabbithos and its just carried on from there, I've always followed them," he said.

Now living in Gulargambone, Mr Knee said he and his wife Sharon Knee travel would travel to half a dozen games, sometimes more, in Sydney each year, but bringing the NRL out west, meant less distance to travel.

However no matter what NRL team, Mr Knee said playing out West was great to help boost remote communities.

"It's a great idea that they're coming out this way, and it would be great to see more of it," he said.

"Even if it's not South Sydney ... people, even if they don't follow a team, they'll go to a live game rather than sitting at home watching the television.

"It's the Australian game, and out this way everyone's football mad here," he said.

Mr Knee said the club's investment out west would also benefit the youth and the Indigenous community.

"A lot of people say they don't like South Sydney, but deep down they do because they back a lot of country kids and lead them along," he said.

"Out this way, west of the Blue Mountains, a lot of Indigenous people follow them because they are a big supporter of the Indigenous people and the Indigenous community."

The NRL currently has a large involvement with communities out west, yet Mr Knee said it's going to really benefit Dubbo and further west, both economically and emotionally.

"It's going to be a big thing for Dubbo, especially you only have to look at what its done for Mudgee, the two games they host over there," he said.

"If Souths come to Dubbo and play, they'll turn into a Rabbitohs town."
