S\ufeffouth Sydney<\/a> will make a decision on Jason Demetriou<\/a>'s future on Tuesday morning as pressure continues to heat up on the coach.<\/p>\n

The Rabbitohs' 54-20 loss to the Storm on Anzac Day<\/a> could be the final nail in the coffin for Demetriou with the side coming last after the Titans' first win of the season.<\/p>\n

\ufeff9news and The Sydney Morning Herald<\/a> reporter Michael Chammas revealed on Nine's 100% Footy<\/em> that the South Sydney board will meet at 8am (AEST) at Heffron Park to decide on Demetriou.<\/p>\n

"\ufeffWhether or not the board will go down that path, time will tell. There's no doubt there have been conversations in that club about where they're heading as a football team and whether or not Jason Demetriou is developing that team and the players individually to the standard they'd expect."<\/p>\n

If the Rabbitohs do decide to sack Demetriou, it's likely assistant coaches Ben Hornby and Dave Furner will take control.<\/p>\n

League icon Phil Gould believes changing the coach won't help deal with the deep underlying issues at the club.<\/p>\n

"I still don't think changing the coach is going to solve it for them, I really don't," he said.<\/p>\n

"They've got to look back at how they got themselves into this situation, what did they neglect over the years when they were finishing top four virtually every year?<\/p>\n

"Who was preparing for the future when players moved on or got older? They probably haven't planned for this period as well as they should've and that's got to be a lesson.<\/p>\n

"You can't let that happen to you again.<\/p>\n

"Jason Demetriou is probably paying the penalty for poor planning by the club when things were good."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
