Bunnies powerbrokers are expecting the team to perform across the next three weeks.
Wayne Bennett’s former protege Demetriou insisted he was ‘extremely confident’ he could inspire the Rabbitohs out of their latest funk.
‘That’s my job, it’s on me to guide the boys this week and make sure we’re fighting hard and getting ready to play (against Canterbury) on Good Friday,’ he said.
I’ve been with this group for a long time. I understand the group and I’m confident that we’re on the same page and we’re working together.
‘I’ve got no doubt I’m the man who can turn it around but ultimately, what I sit here and say makes no difference to what people are going to say.
The noise is there. It’s there because we’re not winning and we’re not playing well.
The only thing that’s going to make a difference is get our training right, get our performance right next week, get some results on the board.’
We brought Deano in, who I thought did a pretty good job for us,’ Demetriou said.
‘He’ll get better for having the run but ‘Cookie’ came into the season underdone with a calf injury, so it was a matter of trying to get the best out of him and get him running the footy again.’
