Sacked South Sydney coach Jason Demetriou’s agent Chris Orr has fired a shot at the Rabbitohs after Demetriou was sacked on Tuesday night after a full day of speculation and two separate boardroom meetings.

Demetriou left training on Tuesday afternoon confident he would keep his job.

Reports also suggest Hollywood star and part-time Rabbitohs owner Russell Crowe had texted Demetriou his support prior to the announcement.

“To be honest, it wasn’t fair to have your head coach waiting around all day just to be axed,” Orr told The Daily Telegraph.

“Coaches are human beings with families and I thought South Sydney’s process was extremely cruel.

“I feel they got it wrong.”
