During the press conference at the Rabbitohs’ Maroubra headquarters, Demetriou was asked about how he is and about his future with the team.
The Rabbitohs coach spoke a total of 73 words during his interview.
“We’ve had a great week at training. The energy through the week has been outstanding,” Demetriou said.

Demetriou also mentioned new players joining the team.
“There are new blokes coming in. Jye Gray, Ty Munro and Davvy Moale’s back,” he said. “I’m excited by the energy they’ve brought.”
When he was asked how rumours of him leaving the club after this weekend’s match between the Rabbitohs and the Cronulla Sharks have affected him, he remained positive.
“I’m really excited about the performance. I can’t wait,” Demetriou said. “The energy is through the roof. I’m looking forward to it. I believe I’m coaching for a great performance this week, and that’s what we’re going to get.”
This press conference comes after South Sydney Rabbitohs chairman Nick Pappas supported Demetriou on Thursday and said the club want him to succeed.
