NRL: Jason Demetriou and South Sydney find themselves looking at a tough start to the season, playing many of the best sides in the comp.
The pressure is already mounting on Rabbitohs’ coach Jason Demetriou with Souths facing an 0-2 start to the year against the Broncos amid a nightmare draw to start the season.
“Nathan Cleary spoke about it today, about Penrith. They don’t want to start the season 0-2 and suddenly start to lose touch with the top eight. It’s a dangerous place to be. “There’s already talk. Once talk starts, it’s just got the snowball effect. It’ll just keep going. It’ll build momentum. It’ll get bigger. And it’ll go on.
Anasta has no doubt Souths have the squad to be contenders, but after their horror fade-out from first to missing the finals last year, they have lost confidence in their ability. “They’ve got the squad. We all know that. It’s not like, for instance, you’re leading the competition after 11 rounds last year.“They’ve got the exact same team with Jack Wighton in it. So, they know they can do it. Everyone here knows they can do it. Their fans know they can do it, but they’ve got to prove to themselves that they can do it.
