Burns will play 10-20 also. I wouldve prefered Talakai back at centre and then got a senior returning player. Otherwise put Burns on bench with Tuks, Williams and Atkinson, moving Talakai back to centres. Last weeks team, with Talakai at centre and Nikora back on the edge
If Iro plays well this week would it change your mind?

Being reported now Demetriou is done after our game regardless and Mal Meninga likely being brought in Interim

Never know what could happen now. Players could be really fired up and want to send JD out a winner.

Hopefully it’s more the case of “ah well nothing to play for now”

Mal is a spud, nfi. Good politician, though.
Wonder if they're thinking he can help bring Latrell back into form? It's probably fair to say that Souths will play as well as a team as Latrell plays individually

Seems a bit silly and unrealistic to base your FG coaches employment on the back of winning a single game. How much time would a win actually buy him? Another couple weeks? And then what he gotta win another game to stay in the seat or win 75% of his remaining games and make finals?

How can you plan and operate a footy side and club around a week to week proposition of not knowing if the head coach will be there in 7 days and how could a coach effectively operate under that sort of pressure and scrutiny.

Seems more plausible club have already made the decision and JD is gone regardless. Souths just extended him too, what a waste of money even if the payout is limited to 9 months.

Mal would prob quit in his first press conference though.

Mal shouldn't have left his role with the Gold Coast. Now the Titans culture sucks

and then Madge Maguire next year? That's what Joel and Fletch seemed to be suggesting.

Don’t hate it although Burgess and/or Morris would also be worth considering by those who aren’t part of the rot
They called this out and got tossed now proven right. There might be people who would bring them back?

More likely it’s a black eye for too many still there though
