Hear From Fitzy

[glenmoresharkie]

Someone said in here earlier that Hooper and Wediler are parasites, I reckon that’s an insult to actual parasites. They’re less than filth.

Hooper was on NRL 360 on Monday espousing dictatorships.

Great presser. Tremendous poker player. Love him already

 

[SKIBUR]

So no "Broom" then?


Re: Bellamy and "last couple weeks" screamed of not wanting to answer that question.

Admitted he has a lot of learning to do as a new coach...

Brent Reed was my pick as the worst of the bunch.

No wonder Wayne Bennett despises most members of the media...

They are such low-life try-hards!!!

Brent Read reminds me of the kid who watches how older kids are being mean to young ones and tries to copy, when he is the one being picked on.

Hello Brent by the way...

I've just read through a few articles about the press conference. It has left me wondering if I can see an agenda, or news story in-the-ready, waiting to happen. They are all talking about the "gentleman's agreement" between Fitz and the Roosters, what none of them mentioned was the fact that agreement is about players still contracted, when asked about Roosters off contract he shrugged his shoulders and said something that I can't quite make all of it out, "off contract, then players are on _____". If someone can tell me what the next couple of words are I'd be much appreciated. At the 11:45 min mark .

I loved it at 8:20 mins in when Weidler again brought up AR that Fitz pretty much accused him of trying to bait him by saying - “if you’re looking for a hook there”
The facial expressions given by Fitz to some of these questions was awesome

That so weird. He was surprised when called out with a little logic.

He said “it’s different” that was all

I think he says 'off contract then players are it's different...' The context is the Gentlemen's agreement and so I take his point as saying that if a Rooster player is of contract or not part of future plans then they are fair game.

Riccio's point in the SharkCast was that Easts seem to want Fitzgibbon to succeed, so I wouldn't surprised to see some Roosters come our way. Either those being squeezed due to cap or up and comers looking for opportunity.

Wouldn’t surprise me if this goes back even further with a little help from uncle nick in some sponsorship leads. That’s how high regard Fitz is held.

FITZY COACHING FROM AFAR

Incoming Cronulla coach Craig Fitzgibbon fronted the media this week in a bid to stop the negative headlines around his new club.

“The club’s been fielding a lot of questions around a number of issues so I just felt appropriate to do so,” he said on Tuesday.

“I’m mindful not to do too much because I’m still employed by the Roosters so I figured it was best to stay out of the road but it’s also fair to the Sharks’ side of things to offer an opinion.”

Fitzgibbon approached Roosters powerbrokers at Magic Round to get clearance to get on the front foot after missing out on the prized signing of Brisbane-bound Adam Reynolds who he described as “a bloody good halfback”.

It’s also understood the current Roosters assistant is doing his best to make his mark on the current season. Apart from making subtle changes to the teams schedule in preparation for game day, Fitzgibbon is also said to be making adjustments to the game plan.

A team that traditionally likes to shift the ball, Cronulla are now being encouraged to play more direct. At the moment it’s still a work in progress but the playing group are making slight adjustments and feel that they were moving in the right direction against South Sydney.

 

[shadowboxer]

He did make the comment wins aren’t far away - maybe get in the the ear of Hannay around the bench and a few positional changes and we will be far from spooners

Lines up with his comment about our second half actually. Definitely noticed a different approach in that half, though I barely caught more than a few minutes of the first half so may have been all game.

 

[fizman]

I just re-watched it again, I am thoroughly impressed.

I particularly liked the wry smile and laugh when he said "there is a lot going on" in terms of Assistant Coach v Head Coach.

As someone also alluded, he has an excellent poker face.

I also believe we can still make the Top 8 this season based on his continued input.

 

[snout]

We are 4 points out of the 8 with 15 games to play. Thats ridiculous after our car crash if a year. A couple of wins and we would go from spoon threats to finals threats.

A couple of big names back.
A settled lineup.
A cleanout of guys we need to see no more from.
Some input from our new coach.
A miracle.

Simples.

The answer is E. Miracle

 

[shaggs]

We might just limp into the 8. Wouldn’t that just be acceptable.

Just nicely acceptable.
