Yeah doesn’t sound like he’s backing himselfIs that true? Surely not….
Brilliant post mate well said.I'll tell you what I don't like about the JD situation, and that is that Souths appear to be doing nothing.
In my role I quite often have to make the final decision on if we fire someone, and it can be tough making these decisions at times,
But I will consider all aspects of the situation and make a decision, one way or the other, then act on it.
Souths need to either back him and say you have the full season, or march him out the door asap.
I just don't get this hanging in limbo business, not knowing and not showing any leadership.
It provides nothing for the players, the fans don't see light at the end of the tunnel because we don't know what the plan is.
Show some leadership, take some action one way or the other and move this club on before we become even worse.
I hear what you’re saying. I’ve been in similar situations and subscribe to the “rip off the bandaid” approach to leadership.I'll tell you what I don't like about the JD situation, and that is that Souths appear to be doing nothing.

Let me ask you a question though. While you’re in your decision making process - considering all aspects - do you talk to all and sundry about what you’re considering?
(I know the answer by the way).
Waiting to cut the coach because we are playing Penrith next week is loser mentality
Perhaps from a HR perspective, Souths have something in train. Not speaking public about that, and JD issued with some performance management plan, that if he doesn't meet the standard set, his services may be terminated?From a PR perspective It’s preferable to wait for the inevitable Penrith mauling and if it’s really as bad as expected then the decision will be entirely justified. If it rolls on after that there’s the chance that they beat the Dragons the following round which delays the inevitable and re-sets the termination clock. Beating the Dragons with Furner as caretaker ticks the PR box.
Everything points to next weekends game, probably the Monday wash up will bring down the sword. Looking at JD it’s got to be close to a mercy execution, putting him through the pre and post match media is painful.

It may be better to start the interim coach against easier opposition?Waiting to cut the coach because we are playing Penrith next week is loser mentality
Exactly why it’ll be Furner as interim coach vs Dragons. JD has Penrith next round, another L on the season snapshot.It may be better to start the interim coach against easier opposition?
.
They can roll out the disclaimer that results are not showing improvement and the issue has reached a critical point…yada yadaDidn’t they give him a 5 week window/plan?
im sure they had the softer draw in mind, if that’s correct
