South Sydney coach Jason Demetriou has tested positive for Covid-19 on the eve of the side’s last regular season match against the Roosters – with the isolation period sure to create a big stumbling block in the team’s preparations for the finals.

The Rabbitohs announced the news on their website on Thursday morning, stating the coach ‘tested positive on a RAT on Tuesday which has now been confirmed on a PCR test.

‘Jason will miss Friday’s match against the Roosters.’

He joins Bunnies hooker Damien Cook in being sidelined by the virus.
