South Sydney is being advised to shift away from flashy plays and embrace a more cautious approach in their quest for a first win this season. Despite their star-studded lineup including Latrell Mitchell, Cody Walker, and Jack Wighton, the team’s current 0-3 record has prompted calls for adjustments.

Coach Jason Demetriou’s position could be in jeopardy if the Rabbitohs fail to turn things around in their next matches against the Bulldogs, Warriors, and Sharks. Suggestions have surfaced, such as moving Mitchell from fullback to the centres, in an effort to improve team cohesion.

There’s a consensus that to secure success in the NRL, a formidable playmaker and forward pack are essential. While some argue that Souths’ forward unit, led by Cam Murray, should be performing better, others believe additional recruitment might have been beneficial instead of investing heavily in Wighton.

Despite the talent within the squad, concerns linger over the team’s performance, with notable figures like Corey Parker and James Graham highlighting a potential fracture within the club. Graham advocates for a shift towards a more methodical style of play, emphasizing the need to build into games rather than relying solely on spectacular plays.

Criticism extends to the team’s tendency to prioritize scoring over constructing cohesive gameplay, with commentators urging a shift towards a more strategic and conservative approach. There’s a division among pundits regarding the team’s potential, with contrasting opinions on whether Souths possess the roster depth to contend for a premiership.

As they approach a crucial three-game home stretch, beginning with a fixture against the Bulldogs on Good Friday, the pressure mounts on Demetriou and the Rabbitohs to reverse their fortunes and salvage their season.
