Jason Demetriou says it is 'not easy' to be the subject of ongoing scrutiny after South Sydney deferred making a call on his future at the club.
The Rabbitohs board met for more than three hours at their Maroubra headquarters on Tuesday morning to address the future of embattled third-year coach Demetriou, who has led the last-placed Souths to only one win from seven games this season.

'It's a big club, we're not performing, so questions have to be asked. I understand that, I respect it.'
Demetriou remains in limbo ahead of Thursday's clash against reigning premiers Penrith, telling reporters he had not yet been informed of any
