I also don’t think the Tele reaching out to Rusty for a comment, you are going to get an honest response. Not like he’s going to reply, “yep I’m sick of the bloke he can’t coach, sacking him tomorrow”. Felt more like the dreaded “backing of the board”.It’s unfortunate they aren’t ripping the band aid off right away.
But I guess there’s a process and there is a coaching payout to consider.
Oh well, we’ll wait till we lose some more games.

Ye it’s a tough one. I agree I don’t think JD is turning this around so it will inevitably end with him losing his job. But to sack a coach after 3 rounds is unheard of, unless there’s a recent case I’m missing? Of course there’s the added fact of last years capitulation also, but I think they will get to the bye and see where we are at.Totally.
But they could end it now. There’s nothing stopping them except logical foresight and public perception.
We’ll need to wait till the car does its final few flips and comes to rest in the ditch before we acknowledge we were in free fall.
NoMadge.
Have you heard of a thing called scrambling defenceYour inability to read a game or peoples comments without defaulting to a narrow, irrational populous view is staggering, amost as staggering as your inability to read a game. Mind you you’re in good company with some around Here
now, as to what I said. If you’re at all capable of comprehension, read again
The rorters defense wasnt much better than ours.
30 missed tackles to our 36 so in your world 30 is ok
15 ineffective to 19……well done scoop. So much better
After we gifted them the ball with 28/40 completions.
AND, if we didn’t turn the ball over with dumbarse mistakes and put them under more pressure, their stats would be equal to or worse than ours.
Interesting thought. Back in the day John Sattler was forever in trouble with referees because of his aggressive attitude on the field. Then they made him captain to lead the way and carry more responsibility. The rest is history.Latrell and Cody co-captain coaches
Yes, JD and the coaching situation, an interesting topic.
We have heard in various threads that JD has no idea, should not have stuck with Ilias and shoud make Mitchell play in the centres. These things are offered as evidence he has no idea.
Some people have asked for Billy Slater to be approached to coach us when we sack JD.
Interesting suggestion. Was listening to Slater during the week talking about Souths, he was asked what he would do.
Slater said he would put Ilias back at 7 as he is the future of Souths at 7 and they need to support him.
He also said he would leave Mitchell at fullback as he is far more damaging from that position, I think Slater knows a little bit about what makes a good fullback.
So if we did get Slater would we be calling for him to be sacked because he essentially agrees with JD on Ilias and Mitchell?
Is Slater yet another one who has no idea?
I nominate @Statler @Waldorf and myself as interim co-coaches for the remainder of da season! We’ll get da boys ROOTIN’ SHOOTIN’ HOOTIN’ and a HOLLERIN’ all da way to premiership glory!!! Forget da Walker brothers…we’re the WOOOOO-ker Bruddas!!!People are calling JD to be sacked because we went from first place after 10 rounds to missing the finals in a massive implosion, gave him an offseason to turn things around and we look no better, in fact we look even worse.
We were a top 4 team, under JD we finished 7th and 9th on the ladder.
