In Fitzy We Trust

[Tony Seibs]

whose top 8 position?

how do you measure progress?
if we have 25 byes..
assuming we win those lol
we are the best team right..?
we finished first.

if we aren't then why aren't we?

"Their" as in our opponents. You brought up beating top 8 sides. Top 8 when? Last year Cowboys were shithouse, we play them in a few weeks, if we win did we beat a top 4 team (this year) or did we just knock off a bottom 4 team (based off last year)?

How do you measure progress? Well it varies and depends how deep you are looking and what you're specifically looking at. As far as where you are in the competition compared to the rest then the competition ladder is about the best measure we have of overall performance.

25 byes? What are you talking about? We are certainly not the best team. That was never my argument, we have plenty to improve on. But right now we are positioned better than 12 others.

It's like driving to work on the highway mon-fri peak hour.
except our journey is saturday morning.
same but different.

So you want a tougher draw? Apart from Storm, Cowboys and Penrith no one has really proven to be much more than us; a shithot side on their day but horribly inconsistent. It's a soft comp with a lotta shit teams but we're all driving the same road on the same day.

I don't dismiss it.
we are 4th.
but it's not a point of measurement on how the team is travelling.
ignoring the ladder.. are we a top 4 team?
without using ladder position explain to me how we are if that's what you support.

how do you ignore the ladder when asking if we are a top 4 side? The fact we are currently in 4th position literally means that right now, yes, we are a top 4 side. That very likely will change (I personally see us ending up around 5th or 6th). If you abandon the notion of the ladder positions then how can you measure a top anything? If there is no ladder how can anyone be "a top 4 team"?

we have been in reverse since the manly game and are fortunate enough with the bye and a good run to maintain ladder position.

I agree half time in that manly game it seems like something broke. Downhill and patchy ever since.

we will overlook the fact you are comparing a mid season ladder position to end-of-year.

You told me earlier "it is always point-in-time". That losing to 6th placed roosters three weeks ago is now actually a loss to a 9th placed side. You seem keen to "overlook" a lot of facts unless they bolster your argument.

There are currently 12 sides doing worse as per the ladder, which despite whatever measures you put on the comp is ultimately what decides who plays finals. I don't think we are going that great but so far it is undeniably good enough to currently sit in 4th place.

Some betting agency was looking down the barrel of a 15-leg $5 Multi, that would have landed over $800K to the punter if Parramatta won an easy match……and then they all put in an uncharacteristic, sub-par performance stinker, letting the betting agency off the hook. Yeah…..riiiiiiight. Nothing to see here……https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/n...astonishing-888-000-win-15-leg-multi-bet.html

How much would it cost to pay someone off though? A whole f**king team maybe even the coach etc etc?

C'mon man, it's just one of those things AND.. They make squillions those c*ntz.

 

[Quigs]

And oh how I despise those c*ntz.

The plague of online gambling ads on the idiot box is past be ridiculous now.

Blah blah blah

did ozzi help you write your thesis through the night?

Tell me you've realised how stupid your argument was without telling me you've realised how stupid your argument was.

I'm sure you've got plenty you can't give away but nonetheless, thanks for your time.

UP UP CRONULLA!

have you been labotomized spud?

Tell me you've realised how stupid your argument was without telling me you've realised how stupid your argument was.

what do you think i'm asking you here?
the fact you can't transition from quantitative to qualitative analysis is not my problem.

I'm sure you've got plenty you can't give away but nonetheless

that's quite presumptuous for someone with 50 odd posts.
did your other alias tell you to say that lol

To be fair tony joined 2 years ago, just means he doesn’t live here like the rest of us losers.

He is pretty busy with his NRL.com preview shows as well as being assistant coach for England Rugby…

Not to my knowledge. But I'm not sure, do they let you know afterwards?

in reference to:

No in reference to you completely dismissing my reply and posting your self-congratulatory clean bowled gif like a wanker.

I get what you're asking, but you don't seem to get what I am answering. In this comp right now as things stand we are undeniably a top 4 side despite not performing anywhere near what we'd like or what will win a premiership. We can only play what's in front of us, if patchy inconsistent and often lethargic performances sees us in 4th well yeah the bar is low. It sucks for the comp but it is what it is right now. I said earlier I think we ultimately finish outside the 4 so I guess if you're just after my forecast opinion, then no, when all is said and done I don't think we will be.

Actually I assumed you would be a bit irrational, annoying and argumentative in real life too. The bloke that gets talking and everyone else suddenly remembers they've got somewhere else to be. I wasn't aware there was a "minimum post barrier" on opinions. Strange that when challenged on a difference of opinion you assume it couldn't possibly be multiple others disagreeing with you, no that couldn't be it, they must be conspiring against you. Get over yourself, mate.

I do live here a bit I'm just the loser who usually decides to shut up and not bother.

Someone appreciates the struggle. Thanks bluey.

Watching us fight for the 1%era last night has me all in on Fitz. Been missing that for so long. No one has gone backwards. Loving it.

 

[bluefox68]

It just felt so ****** comprehensive!!!

Looking at Bellamy’s face was GOLD - he just looked like he had no answers! Very unusual…

The fluff is going to increase exponentially - especially if we beat the Cowboys!

 

[R-15-3]

We haven’t lost a player we want to another club yet, they all want to stay and play under Fitz.

 

[chewsta]

Bellamy's press conference was really good.
He actually said his boys were pretty good but our first half was pretty much, the best he's ever seen. And he was right. Big f**ken call from one hell of a coach.

Edit: in saying all that, I'm pretty sure Fitzy is my dad and I love him more than any of you merkins.

 

[Gallen Towers]

Bellamy's jaw dropping when he saw B. Smith get penalised and sin binned while in possession was priceless.

 

[Ozzi_78]

Bellamy be like “I should have signed it”

 

[carinashark]

Train hard stay optimistic, don’t die wondering.

Maybe he was thinking

see, I told this mob Fitz was the man and look how good he has these boys going

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Bellamy will still have an awesome spine to his team next year but I think they’re going to be a bit thin on forwards.

Let’s face it if you don’t have enough quality pigs in your team you lose the ruck and get bashed out of the game.
