In Fitzy We Trust

[DJDL]

Serious question:

The best part of two seasons in, who has improved under Fitzy?

For me, WK and Brit.
That’s about it.

Losing my faith at a rate of knots.

 

[Special K]

Standing in the hill at half time today, there was more silence than booing - that speaks volumes to me. New generation of fans happy with that performance?
Odd lives we live in.

I was in the ivory tower with Sam and after 3 minutes he looked at me and asked why the crowd was so flat and quiet? Very telling. Everyone is rattled.

The defence hasn't
He struggles to coach middles, the recruitment of Kaufisi has been a bust
Brailey can play like a bum till end of time no pressure in him

The bloke took the team to an all time last year and everyone here was jizzing hard, real hard.
Now…. Welcome to the NRL coach.
Came way to easy and now the time to get down and dirty is upon him. It will be the making of him or not.

I feel like I was standing next to you for the first half.

I was real keen on booing and started but no one else did. It was weird. It was quiet and no one really cared.

It was odd - there was a bloke up on western hill constantly blasting hard “get ‘em on side ref” and people were laughing at him, like he was an imbecile.
Half time comes and the crowd continued to dance around to the pedofiles anthem of sweet Caroline like there was no issue.
Again, happy with mediocrity I guess

We’ve been to this rodeo before. Many times. We know how it ends. A bit like the finger banging Sister Mary-Eugenie gave me at confession.

At first, it was perplexing curiosity but then, the disappointment of no tongue left me bitter and full of unbridled angst.

 

[Ozzi_78]

It is quite strange. I get over the losses and poor efforts so much quicker now. I have come to realise I think that it really doesn’t matter and the game itself is not even fun to attend even when winning.

The review of every try after the fact takes away a lot of the spontaneity of excitement knowing it’s not locked In.

Anyway, we suck as a team. We deserve to just miss the 8 and I think we will.

 

[shadowboxer]

A guy in front of us said that it was unfair to boo the team off the ground at half time. Not acceptable. When challenged, he agreed it was worthy of booing, but we shouldn’t be doing it.
In all honesty, I get it and made me think a fair point, but where do you begin and and end with this PC bollocks.

Yes, bit by bit everything good about the game has been destroyed. It's difficult to care.

 

[Sharkman]

The crowd was flat all game. Aside from the last 10 mins, I felt the NRLW had more atmosphere with 1/3 the people.

As for booing, which the team deserved, I thought the PA/ music that came on SUPER quickly and loudly drowned out any discontent.

Hope the entire squad heard the murmuring discontent of another Channel 9; home-ground sell-out; terrible performance; loss.

 

[R-15-3]

We are stuck with the squad we have for the foreseeable future without any big signings. We need to roll the dice and gamble with the players we have.
I can’t see Talakai ever being able to get his defence right at Center or even in the backrow, either keep him as a middle where he has never really shined or is it worth switching him and Ronaldo around in defence and give them a few weeks to see if it’s something they can work on for next year.

 

[Special K]

Talakai has been hung out to dry by the decision making of Moylan. I haven't seen Talakai make the dumb choices I saw Tracey make yesterday.

They could be playing along side each other this week

Agree with this. Talakai does not deserve to be a scapegoat or to be dropped.

May as well, Ronaldo is usually that far in field he may as well be the centre

Players wouldn't care if they got booed

that first one for manly’s first try.. can only assume all week they would have spoken about defence and working as a unit only for him to rush up and grab thin air. Idiot

 

[R-15-3]

Moylan definitely hasn’t helped Sifa but he does get caught flat footed a hell of a lot.

 

[Craigshark]

Talakai is better than Tracey, but far out he was poor in a few of his efforts last week one on one with berry. Berry just pushed him away. Too much arm grabbing

 

[Quicksilver]

I don't think he's mobile enough to defend at centre. Tracey may improve his reads, but Talakai isn't going to magically become more agile.
