In Fitzy We Trust

[Ozzi_78]

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.

We have no superstar. I’ve said it before. It’s a terrible SuperCoach team. Zero origin players and think we are top 4. We are 6-8th imo

But Nicho said he wants to play five eighth outside of Cleary in origin......

It's a good point. The team has no stardust at all. The game plan is 4 hit ups, turn a back rower under then bomb. 1 out boring footy with a high error rate.

What Trindall should do, is walk into fitzs office on Monday and offer to be let go.
Free up some space.
His manager should ring Wayne and do the deal to start at the bunnies in '26.

See, of the 2 halves trindall could move on and have a career. Doesn't matter where hynes goes, hes as much as a halfback as Neil Armstrong was an astronaut.
A fraud.

Trindall would be a perfect fit for the bunnies.
He'd be 2nd string to Cody and Latrell but f**k, at least it would be to 2 blokes who know how attack. How to open sides up.

What has happened to Briton Nikora this season? No tough carries, ill-disciplined, awful first contact, partly responsible for the dragons third try. I’ve loved the bloke for a long time, but if we are planning on making an example of someone, let burns have his jumper and let him work his way back through the jets after his suspension.

I hope he does, so I don’t have to watch him run around throwing dummies to no one, dropping the ball, throwing shit passes, kicking it dead or over playing his hand and punching the ground in a Sharks jumper. There might be a good player in there, but I’ve seen two seasons of this shit now with a glimpse here and there of what he can do.

the fact remains, Hynes played his best football for us when Trindall wasn’t in the team.

Thats a really fair point there mate, and one that cannot be ignored.

 

[Cheese sandwich]

Trindall is like an over eager puppy and hynes is like an old golden retriever slowly going through the motions.

 

[Stake Removed]

Lots of great points
The team has peaked and now sliding down, we stick with this squad or very similar in 2026 be between 10-12

Hynes played best with Moylan, but that year Hynes was more unknown quantity and had speed, he is not a clutch player never will be.

Trindall's games has dropped off, Nikora has two plays the one when we go wide he makes yards and the line run, outside of that he does not get involved

Inside attacking 20, we get so disjointed, and so many nothing plays, it allows the defence to be ready for basically 2 plays and one of them is a kick.

Fitz in 4 years has yet to work the bench out, it's more ever decreasing circles.
Today Ranken has ball in hand after a kick deflected he had no idea what to do, this is a player 150 games into career, and still can't pass a ball.
Need there to be an overhaul.
We might limp into finals and go straight out.
That will be 4 years of finals with 1 win 6 losses

That was 3 years ago. Hynes has been very ordinary since leg injury last season. His running game has dropped off massively. The lack of pace when taking the intercept was obvious.

Oh and Trindall sux too.

Honestly I can't disagree with anything he said. I can't call bullshit or look at it like say AOB at the Knights. Make some sort of change to the 17. They are letting you and us down.

Fitz is good. This 17 isn't. He needs to change something or he will die on his sword and "learn" at another club.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

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....

I agree I think he has been too loyal.

The big problem is the squad is too close to each other and he doesn’t want to ruffle any feathers.

But I think that is about to change. Not this year but next season.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

We have no superstar. I’ve said it before. It’s a terrible SuperCoach team. Zero origin players and think we are top 4. We are 6-8th imo

Yep we need a superstar fullback or half.

That it is what is needed for sure.

They’re called game breakers.

 

[Feej 2: Electric Boogaloo]

Nothing will change unless it’s forced through injury.

 

[shaggs]

Absolute morals to have the same 21 named on tuesday.

 

[Stake Removed]

There is more change in the 18-21 each Tuesday, then in the 1-17

It had better or he is out of a job. The squad is so stale.

There is no superstar fullback coming. He said they working to sign Kennedy.

 

[Quigs]

I just tried to watch that post game coach interview that K linked above.

Stopped it at the 2 minute something mark. I'd heard enough

What I think Fitzy should of said was that all the coaches have now worked out our game day match plan and are awake up to our next five moves every ruck.

On good days we can do it (carry out the plan) and jag wins other games we have bad days ( can't carry out the plan). Pretty basic really. Simple and basic for a middle of the ladder team.

And the rot will continue if we keep that bum at fullback. He is terrible.

 

[Griffoshark66]

Not gonna drop anyone. Noone knocking on the door to come up.

Our wet fart of a season continues.

 

[Surely]

So coming into 26/27 we have 3 good centres in the club
Iro , Gabriel, Williams

Which one are they going to turn into a full back
