I'm definitely looking forward to another off season of Fitzy saying that they're aware of what let them down in the finals and that they're addressing it only for nothing to have changed next season - just like he did last offseason.
To be honest, I didn't watch a game live after the team list was released following the demolition at the hands of the Storm and the exact same team was named. I'd watch replays or the Kayo minis, but my investment this season fell away significantly.
Changes I would love to see:
- Competition for hooker - Brailey can be great and has all the potential in the world, but he simply hasn't delivered on it. He needs to take the next step or the Sharks need to look elsewhere. In the interim, the club needs to be willing to drop him.
- Bye bye Moylan - one positive from the end of the season was Moylan not being gifted his spot. After last season, I could understand giving him the opportunity, but after the start of the season it was clear that Trindall was the better option. Instead, Fitz persisted until very late in the season to make the change.
- Talakai to bench - He definitely has great hands, but someone his size is so easily bumped off in defence it's ridiculous. Barely the damaging runner he was, and I feel like his conditioning wasn't the best. Let him come from the bench and go full blast for a stint and then head back to the bench.
- Willingness to drop players - It's clear that Fitzy is extremely loyal to a point where he won't drop players until they have underperformed for months. A lot of the time it's forced due to injury or 'injury'. We need to see higher level standard to be in the team. It doesn't matter how experienced you are, if you don't perform you don't get half a season to regain your form.
