Rabbitohs rookie Angus Crichton says he never dreamed of such a disappointing start to his NRL career.

The former Australian Schoolboys rugby star joined the Rabbitohs last year - he made his first grade debut in round 19 and has not won a game yet.

"It isn't an ideal start for me in the NRL, it's not all that every young kids dreams of coming into the NRL to lose their first three games." he said.

The Rabbitohs are in 13th position on the ladder after eight straight losses and cannot make the finals.

"It has been difficult, but I think it definitely will help me as a player and as a person," Crichton said.

"Persistence is a big thing in sport and going through tough times is something that every athlete has to experience."

Rabbitohs hurting after worst loss in decade

Just two years after winning their first premiership in 43 year, the Rabbitohs season has gone from bad to worse.

Not only was the 50-point loss to Canberra their biggest, it was also the club's worst defeat in a decade.

"Losing anywhere, I hate it, no one goes out there trying to lose, it always hurts," Crichton said.

"We all go back and look at our individual games and as individual players we all need to lift our games and I think that will help us at the end of the day."

And the Rabbitohs road does not get any easier - Souths play the Storm on Saturday in Melbourne.

"We need to hold the ball and make tackles, simple as that, if we have fair possession I believe we have the attacking weapons in this team," he said.

"You look around and see faces like Sam Burgess, John Sutton, Cody Walker, players like that, you know can score tries and I have full belief in this side.

"At the end of the day we are all individuals and if we aren't performing to our own standards then we aren't going to perform to our team standards."
