Souths spare embattled coach Demetriou as Bunnies boss speaks out

For f**k sake, I knew this would happen! I just knew it! As soon as the game finished, I said to my mate who I was watching with, "what's the bet they say that's enough for JD to keep his job?" And it has been. Friggin ridiculous!
I love JD as a person and I'm as gutted as anyone he hasn't worked out. I would've loved him to be a successful long-term coach here, in fact, I'd still love for this to all somehow turn around and for that to happen. But the reality is, it won't. The reality is that JD is not the man for the job and he simply cannot turn this around. If he could, it would have happened over the Pre-Season. But nothing has been fixed at all. If anything, we've gotten worse and that is just inexcusable.
We already know this, everyone can see it, so why not rip the band aid off now and just do it?? The sooner you do it, the sooner we can hopefully recover from this. The longer JD stays, the longer we're just reading water and the more games go down the drain. It's just delaying the inevitable.
Our club is so f**king weak. I hate to say it but do you really think a club like the Roosters would accept this and give him more time? No chance in hell.
Last night was certainly more heart and effort, but it still wasn't acceptable and it's still not good enough for JD to keep his job.
Very disappointed the club has taken this stance. In saying that, I hope they make me eat my words.
