Rabbitohs legend Sam Burgess has been vindicated by everything that has happened this season - and it spells disaster for one man.
Amid the omni-shambles of South Sydney’s weekend, one moment scribbled the writing on the wall for Jason Demetriou.
Burgess is emerging as the ultimate kill-shot to Demetriou’s time at Souths, with the club legend currently flaunting his chops in the English Super League.

Just like Benji Marshall returning to the Tigers and Kevin Rudd to Labor leader, many believe all their problems can be solved simply by connecting the present to the glorious past, if only for the sugar hit in approval ratings and nostalgic dopamine.Burgess alleged some stars received preferential treatment.

Burgess also voiced concerns over the club’s wilting standards compared to the Michael Maguire era, a time where premierships were so coveted that Madge famously vowed to chop off a finger if they didn’t win one. This was followed by a parting shot from CEO Blake Solly, who blasted Burgess’ criticism of Mitchell and Walker as “complete crap.”
