South Sydney Rabbitohs coach Jason Demetriou has shocked fans by dropping Damien Cook from the team, signaling a need for the underperforming players to step up. The Rabbitohs, who were on top of the table just a year ago, are currently in last place. This move is seen as an attempt to spark the team into action on the field.
Damien Cook ’s shock axing is about under seige coach Jason Demetriou sending a message to South Sydney’s underperforming stars that they need to step up to turn the club around.
The only place to watch every game of every round LIVE with no ad-breaks during play is Fox League, available on Kayo. New to Kayo?“They need a circuit breaker there at the club, there’s no doubt about that,” Kent said. “I’m surprised, but when you look back at the game on the weekend… that period before and after half time, that’s when they lost that footy game,” Read said.“Damien Cook missed a big tackle in that moment, a couple of other guys - Sean Keppie and Tallis Duncan, they’re gone this week as well – they were on that field during that period.“If you look at Cookie’s stats this year, he hasn’t been that potent with the ball either. I think he’s got one try assist and one try break this year.
“There’s been a clear change from the hierarchy of the club that says ‘enough’s enough. We keep coddling these guys and they’re not getting the job done.’”However, Read does not believe Cook is one of the protected players at Souths.
