South Sydney coach Jason Demetriou has been urged to walk out on the Rabbitohs as reports swirl that Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga is set to replace him for the remainder of the 2024 season.
It was reported earlier in the week that Demetriou was to be given 80 minutes to save his job when his side takes on the Sharks on Saturday night.
Demetriou responded by dropping incumbent Blues hooker Damien Cook for the inexperienced Peter Mamouzelos and naming debutant Jye Gray at fullback to replace the suspended Latrell Mitchell.
However, the surprising news of the Rabbitohs’ interest in Meninga dropped on Wednesday afternoon by Fox League’s James Hooper.
The NRL360 panel discussed shock revelation on Wednesday night’s show, with co-host Paul Kent believing the Rabbitohs have done wrong by Demetriou.
“What I find interesting about this is whether Jason Demetriou has been told about this,” Kent asked.
“If so, it almost makes it untenable Kenty,” The Daily Telegraph’s Michael Carayannis replied.
“That’s the point. With Jason Demetriou, the narrative all week has been that he has 80 minutes to save his career,” Kent said.
