Not bad when he will be returning to Souths for the 2026 Season.Originally Posted by philthompson
Madge will replace JD next season as a placeholder, as the mess at souths is all down to JD and then Sam will take over from 2026.
There is some proper "soap opera" stuff going on down at Souths at the moment.

Trust me. Burgess and Crowe are tight. If JD stays, cam Murray goes to union and south’s don’t want that.
Murray has even called out JD to his face that he’s not a prop but JD is too pig headed to admit he’s wrong. There is massive unrest with 90% of the playing roster backing burgess who to be fair, was right in his assessment of JDs treatment of lattrell.
burgess will be back for 2026 and Warrington will be at square one
If the story being reported by the media is correct, fair play to Burgess for sticking to his guns. I'm a big fan of Latrell, but the footage from the Knights game last week doesn't look good and perhaps Burgess has a point... remember watching some of the interview he did for James Graham's podcast and he spoke about himself going through poor form and giving up the drink in the build up to winning the Premiership with Souths. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEmdLTwjJLU
He knows what it takes to win and has high standards. The challenge for him is can he become a winning coach? If he does get a job back in the NRL in 2026, he will have done a good job for Warrington. So I don't think Warrington would mind too much. If it goes poorly, then Burgess may not find many clubs wanting to offer him a head coach position.
Souths are in danger of missing the finals this year with the way they've been going, and if Roosters beat Wests as you'd expect this weekend, that would set up a massive derby game to finish the regular season. Both needing the points to make the top 8. Demetriou's position could well become under threat because Souths shouldn't be missing the finals with the side they have. Jack Wighton bolstering their line up further, next season as well.

You don’t know half the story. Trell told keaon he can train like a first teamer or chill with the origin boys and that is why everyone wonders why keaon isn’t progressing. Trell was supposed to play against the broncos but bottled it. When Trell told the team he wasn’t playing Arrow went for him and had to be held back. Trell traveled to Perth to watch by himself instead of travelling with the team. Every single training session Lurch runs himself to the ground so much he can barely breathe and lattrel laughs at him for doing so. That’s why burgess hates latrell so much. When burgess called him out on it Trell said “I’ve got 2 rings, you’ve only got Greggys ring, which burgess replied with “and you’ve got 30kg on every other nrl fullback and tommyT will be nsw full back not you”
Want to know the reason reynolds left south Sydney? Because JD told him that he was going to turn llias into the next Cooper cronk. To his face. Look how that turned out
Every single rugby fan knows that young Tyrone should be playing ahead of TaaneÂ….instead of JD.
JD and Trell have caused this mess and the southÂ’s management know it. They couldnÂ’t just sack JD straight away this week as it gives the wrong message but burgess left with a golden handshake and will
Return as head coach
