NRL: Souths coach Jason Demetriou addresses rumours surrounding his future at the club following his team's round 6 loss to the Sharks.
Jason Demetriou expects to be coaching South Sydney against the Storm after the bye despite his side’s 34-22 loss to the Sharks seeing them anchored to the bottom of the table.
Despite slipping to their fifth loss from six games, Demetriou could not have been prouder of his players.“I spoke about it last week about valuing the 80 minutes to make it the most important part of our week and I think there was a fair bit of carnage out there and we had one interchange for over half a game and lost a winger and a fullback for 15 minutes and to drag ourselves to 28-22.Demetriou said he had no indication from the club his job was on the line.
“So like I said, you know, I’m walking out of here really proud of my team. We’re proud of the fight they put in. “The tryline defence was brave tonight. We showed a lot of resilience and a lot of heart and some good process stuff as well. “I’m really proud that I get to represent these boys, our fans, our members, their staff. And I’m excited about turning it around, you know, that changes will time will tell.”“Yeah, actually, being quite honest, I’ve been like that all week,” Demetriou said.But, you know, I’m walking out and doing a press conference, you know, with the noise that’s going on and the things that have been said and done and whatever.
Demetriou was pressed on whether he saw his players show fight for the jersey and himself and the club against the Sharks.“I’ve already said that. I’m extremely proud of them. We had nearly four million dollars sat on the sideline from our cap. Souths experienced some injury carnage against the Sharks, with Demetriou revealing Tyrone Munro and Tevita Tatola could be sidelined for lengthy spells.
