NRL: Blake Solly says the last 20 games for Souths speak for themselves in their decision to part ways with Jason Demetriou.
'We need change' Souths Press Conference | 16:48, Crowe told Demetriou: “I’ve got your back”. Hours later the senior coach was unemployed.
However, after slumping to a 1-6 start to the season at the very bottom of the NRL ladder, there was no saving the embattled coach.Russell Crowe is a big Wayne Bennett fan. AAP Image/Joel Carrett.It has been a staggering capitulation for a football club that sat on top of the NRL ladder after Round 11 last year — only to fall apart and miss the finals.
According to reports, a reunion with Bennett has been Crowe’s plans all along — if the club was to ultimately sack Demetriou.It is only seven months since the club internally tussled over the decision to hand Demetriou a three-year contract extension through to the end of the 2026 season. “It’s symbolic of what’s happening off the field at that club at the moment,” The Australian’s Brent Read said about the fact it took the club two board meetings to reach a so-called “unanimous decision”.
Rabbitohs chief executive Blake Solly on Wednesday fronted the press and denied the club has a “dysfunctional” board room. “I don’t think Souths would have done something as drastic as sacked their coach, eight rounds into the season, or the fact they have flown so poorly,” Rothfield said.“But rest assured, he’s their number one target. They will do everything they possibly can in the very near future to get him back on board at the Rabbitohs next year.”
