I honestly believe in the discussions held with sam before he left, he was told to go hone his skill in the superleague and let jd sink himself, crowe would have told him to bid his time and he would eventually take over.
Looks lime we are talking to a prop amone who is 28 about coming back,i think as a stop gap because we are losing thomas and a winger or 2, ill be very surprised if milne,kennar,cheecam are resigned

Amone, who was with us before?

Correct,in the UK he was nominated in the dream team, he would not be expensive i think, the way the nrl has become if u dont have a dedicated recruitment manager who plans 2 to 3 years ahead, players get snapped up quick.
Expansion has weakened the talent pool

I reckon its becoz of memberships are plummeting becoz of the dudmetriou/ilias saga it took too long to wake up souths. wtf were you thinking?its reported on fox there is a board room meeting it has to be about dudmetriou,why would the dogs want ilias at half back he is a dud ffs lol...

I stated clearly on many occasions - and I was categorised as some drug addict by the schoolgirls who scribble here regularly - that Demetriou should have been dismissed LAST season. "Oh you are on this and that" and so forth cried the schoolgirls.
I know football and I know how players's body language and paucity of effort reflect upon the Head Coach.
Plus the man's press conferences. Callmack himself pointed it out, how dull and repetitive Demetriou was in all those.
Bottom line is Demetriou inherited a high powered squad left by a great Coach in Bennett, ready to keep winning but gradually Demetriou was caught out and it all blew up on him with his pathetic mismanagement of Mitchell's prolonged"calf injury" calls to save players for the "back end" and sacking of Sam B. Mansour's later comments just amplified what the players already believed: that Demetriou is not a leader of men, is clueless, and that in general he cannot be trusted. Had Demetriou been honest he would have RESIGNED at the end of last season instead of attempting to massage a non-tenable tenure here through some artificial staff changes.
Demetriou is now 5-15 in his last 20 starts and that will soon be 5-16, conceediing over 30ppg in around 75% of those contests. Really, how much more egregious, purile non-performance football does club management want the fans and players to endure?

 

[Steenson123]

The central problem is NOT the roster.
The central problem is THE COACH.
Yes like any football club, irrespective of the code, roster changes need to be made over time. Intensity, motivation, preparation and tactics, they are all on the Coach!
Hence FIRST eliminate Demetriou and his useless staff, including the conditioning/strength dope. Every contest one turns on say the ABC radio and all that is repeatedly emphasized in the first twenty or so minutes from L. Lewis is "how gassed the Souths players look to me". Or how tired they are becoming as matches wear on. Every game.

Rabbitohs NRL squad for round nine against Panthers this Thursday – South Sydney Rabbitohs

The South Sydney Rabbitohs are pleased to announce their squad for round nine of the 2024 NRL Premiership against the Penrith Panthers to be played this Thursday 2 May at 7:50pm at Accor Stadium.

www.rabbitohs.com.au

Team list Tuesday babyyyy!!

Not much to get excited about this week though, it's a very odd-looking line up. We got lapped by 50 last week and he picks just about the exact same side?

Thompson coming in was expected, but how the hell is Duncan not there? For f**k sake JD, that's an absolute joke and you're surely taking the piss. Chee Kam ahead of him on an edge?? Come on. Just come on seriously I'm pissed about that.

Not so sure about Keaon and Davvy starting together either, I think we need one of Jai or Tom there.

Not really happy with it at all.

 

[speedster]

Halves shake up put on hold until Latrell returns next week. Still carrying 2 hookers with Havili also on the bench. So, 3 hookers basically. Moale and Keaon starting props with Chee Kam and Host our starting edge backrowers. Still no sign of Shaq.

 

[callmack1]

Callmack why is it too early for wighton to play #6 against penrith?

Because then who the hell would play center this week? We'd have zero strike out there and no threats. We need to wait until Latrell is back sadly.

Thats the spirit Mr Callmack unleash on those half wits at souths for they know not what they do.

We have had no strike power all year but as bad as it has been the players all must play in their rightful positions at any cost even if we are coming last and coming last we are.

 

[southsydneyrabbitohs]

Amone, who was with us before?

Yes tom amone

 

[Steenson123]

Seriously back Cleary to win by the brackets 41-46 46-51 and 51+. Those two must be laughing at this club!
Demetriou has completely gutted the squad, completely.
In Soccer {Football] parlance, its a second division level outfit, with no leaders, little skill or speed and nothing progressive.
You will get the usual "oh we are working hard" nonsense but realistically Club Management deserve as much of the blame as dopey Demetriou.
Members, die hard fans and season ticket holders should revolt.

 

[BotanyBorn&Bred]

Yes tom amone

Who was always injured?
And barely played a full game with us?
Gee, I'm jumping with joy.......

 

[Steenson123]

A great honest post

Thank you my friend. I have always dealt in facts and honest appraisal, even if they are against the standard narrative.

Amone was a disappointment i agree wholeheartedly.

Your welcome mate.

 

[speedster]

Well, some teams first game under an interim coach after they have had their coach sacked often do surprisingly well and sometimes spring a huge upset. I think the Dragons beat the Roosters last year under these circumstances if I'm not mistaken.

This would be the mother of all upsets if that were to continue here.

 

[speedster]

It's great how they let JD pick the team for a game he won't be coaching. Oh well.
