Concerns are mounting within the South Sydney Rabbitohs fan base regarding the fitness and performance of the first-grade team, particularly among the forwards. Specific attention has been drawn to Cody Walker's fitness levels, which seem below par for a player in his position. Similarly, Latrell Mitchell's efforts as a fullback have been criticized for lacking the necessary work rate and impact expected from a player in such a critical role.
Additionally, the contributions of players like Havilli and Host have been questioned, with doubts about their suitability for first-grade rugby league. While there was optimism around Davy Moale's potential, his limited game time, capped at 17 minutes last game, raises concerns about his ability to improve fitness through match play.
The role of the fitness coaching staff in addressing these issues is also under scrutiny. It appears there may have been a missed opportunity to adequately prepare the players before the season commenced, suggesting a disconnect between the players' physical preparedness and the demands of high-level competition.
Tallis Ducan, though promising, has yet to instill fear in the opposition, suggesting a need for further physical and mental development. Damien Cook's performance, potentially affected by dissatisfaction over not starting, has been inconsistent, with his passing game fluctuating between effective and subpar.
The departure of Adam Reynolds has left a void in the halfback position, pointing to a strategic misstep by management and coaching staff in player retention and recruitment.
Regarding Latrell Mitchell, despite a desire to shield him from constant criticism, it's evident that his performance as a fullback falls short when compared to peers. His reluctance to engage fully in runs, challenges in handling high balls, and lack of support play highlight significant gaps in his role execution.
Cody Walker's recent form has been concerning, marked by errors, missed tackles, diminished speed, and questionable decision-making, including penalty concessions that have had material impacts on game outcomes.
Coach JD's selection policies and game strategy have come under fire for lacking vision and effectiveness, raising questions about his approach to team management and tactical planning. With an entire off-season to address these issues, the persistence of these problems suggests a failure to leverage the break for meaningful improvement.
As injuries sideline key players, the depth and quality of replacements have become a pressing issue, further highlighting gaps in the team's management and strategic planning.
As we approach a critical match, it will be a definitive moment to assess the team's progress and address these concerns head-on. The need for a strategic overhaul is clear, from player fitness and preparation to management and coaching tactics, to realign the Rabbitohs with a path to success.
