Fair enough mate, I assumed it as cools had posted it last week sometime, had a look and saw that place was running rampant.
It amazes me how some on there never learn, as in, if the Sharks were interested in Campbell then you can guarantee that no-one except the organisation would know about it, let alone spreading it on social media.
Carry on mate.
No hard feelings mate.

Spine next year if rumours about Jayden Campbell are true and if we don't re-sign Will.

Ison
Campbell
Hynes
Brailey
Campbell would be the perfect signing for us.
Fast.
Elusive.
And a lightweight.

He's used to wearing sky blue anyway.
The colour worn by teams who get bullied.

Any rumours of us getting an ethan strange?
Or bringing JWH back for a swansong beside AFB.

But please no more guys who get ragdolled when we meet the Dogs.

That trainer doesn't run in front of Latrell. He wouldve worn the ball between the eyes. Or the Storm kicker no matter who it was. Nor Adam reynolds.

Know what im sayin'?

I don't agree, I think he still would have. Because he was given a direct order by his platoon commander Lieutenant Nathan Cleary who was carrying out the order from his commander, Colonel Ivan Cleary. As we all know, we obey orders son or people die, it's that simple.

Personally I don’t see how all the stupid errors was Fitz’s fault today.

We lacked conviction, execution and discipline.

Handling errors were crippling.

That’s on the players.

Of course the errors weren't.

Game plan was.

Having the switched off was.

Not addressing the attitude throughout the year was.

Letting the players get comfortable knowing they wont get dropped was.

Both of you are right.
It is the issue(s) that most of us have been seeing.

Personally I think Fitz needs bit of a change up in the support staff, not because of who they are but because he needs new ideas thrown at him. He is a good coach, maybe loyalty is his real weakness....

The team is so beige. They roll through plays like a training run. There is no variety. The skill level is low, leadership is low. Fitz is doing the same stuff expecting a different result. It ain't coming. This team has peaked.

They are good enough to finish mid table but there is no spark to do anything more. As soon as an opposition takes it to them they back off.

To Weapon’s point, the team has peaked and so has the Coach.
Like any CEO, depending on the severity of a screw up, those below take the fall.
And honestly, that’s the right decision. Hopefully, there is movement at the station.

Exactly and this is what truly makes me ponder.
John Morris could only take us so far, and I publicly backed his sacking.
Fitz has had a slightly higher level in results but now looks to have hit the same plateau.
I do think that Fitz is a better coach than Morris, he just needs to recognise change.
Bennet, Bellamy, Robinson and Cleary all change their support staff.
Fitz hasn't yet since he started.

Fitz message at half time - line speed and discipline. Toby comes out first set throws a shit offload, we defend the next 10 minutes on our line giving away multiple penalties on the 4th.

It is now on him to sack the useless offenders and send a f**king message for once.

He will be $1.01 to be in the team Tuesday

Exactly what I saw mate, and Toby got hooked for it. It royally f**ked us, and we didn't recover.

Perth, the other side of Earth
For Toby.

No speed at all. Helps the opposition to be able to slide and defend our sweep and set plays. We work a play quite well, where someone like Reece Walsh with speed would score a lot of tries. Unfortunately Kennedy doesn’t have the same speed. Every time we are chasing points, we move Ronaldo into the centres coming from out of our end and he usually makes a line break or makes big metres with a bit of speed.

Hynes wasn’t great again, but Fitzy needs to sell Trindall while some desperate team will take him.

He’ll probably go and have a laugh about it mid week on the podcast with Maloney and Latimore. He has some really good games in him, then he has one like he had today. Lazy, short cuts in his game that he should have moved on from by now.

It doesn't have to be Toby dropped as on the scale of things I think he has done well since his return. I just need to see some sort of consequences for repeated dipshit mistakes.

BHU played well. I thought Nicho was best in the spine. Burns after good performances had a stinker.

The dragons wanted it more and I know for a fact this week Fitz specifically challenged them on their hunger and how bad they want it. Disgusting. Send a message as they have had enough chances.
