Counting was an advanced subject where Foxy attended primary school.

The draw looks fine to me.

 

[Chimp]

It’s a draw that certainly gives us an opportunity for a real crack at it again.

 

[Poss]

How do we improve on last year?
We haven’t really bought anyone other than OK.
Are we purely relying on the fact that it’s another full year under Fitz and our younger guys are more experienced? Spine with more time to gel?

Good question; a couple of points on this and you covered some,

- Fitz for sure learnt a lot. Might finish lower than 2nd but no way his own performance isn’t managed better in his 2nd year

- We can only hope our injuries are better. Last year killed us imo

- Nicho a year in, some of the young end were blooded and will be better for it

- I think our draw is not as easy, so a top 4 finish is a better overall performance.

- also don’t think we are done yet with recruits.

Gee I hope we nab a prop

 

[Frenzy.]

But.................why do you have to buy someone to improve?

What is Fitz can get just 5-10% more out of this year's 30? Almost equivalent to bringing in a good player.

Spot on. Get another 2% out of them in that Cows semi....week off and a different story. We weren't that far from the mark. Can't wait to see what Dykes and Iro bring to the table next year.

I think we can improve on last year with what we have, but if you have a glaring hole in the roster you need to go to market.
We need a forward that can take the fight to other packs and we don’t have that right now, which was shown in the finals. Kaufusi could be that if we see that 5-10% or even Williams if he comes back firing. The players that did play are just not the right style

Air travel really shouldn’t have that much of an effect on professional athletes, it’s more the nights away from home that starts to effect them.

 

[Quigs]

Are they flying Fokkers or by jet.

Geez I remember the old days flying to Sydney via Fokkers, they were rough old trips.

 

[Frenzy.]

Are they flying Fokkers or by jet.

Don't know about that but you're certainly an old Fokker!

 

[Quigs]

I don't want your fokker friendship, I wanna your fokker help.

An old joke but it was a goodie.
