Was an awesome day, was up there in that Debaucherous sponsors tent area, in the Sharks Jersey. Great memory. Even Kearnsey was secretly happy for us that day, Ben Mendelsohn not so happy.I was at the 2008 game. Ben Ross got sent off.

Yep and when the "Smoke" was billowing from those funny terrace stands with the Bro's. Classic Days at "The Graveyard"I was sitting in the commoners seats. Less legroom than a Tiger Airlines flight.
I did like how they had the smoky old school kebab caravans etc for food choices.
Crikey - where does this talk come from?If nothing changes nothing changes.
Starting to think that long term extension to Fitz was a huge mistake as hes unable or unwilling to make the hard calls that need to be made
If we're in the same situation this time next year (unable to beat these top 8 teams) then maybe the extension was a mistake. Am giving him 1 year to prove himself.Crikey - where does this talk come from?
Coach Fitz gibbon has been at the helm for what 38 games.
With no where near the budget of the Roosters / East’s, souths etc, Fitz has produced 25 wins , 13 losses for a 66% winning percentage - second only to Ivan Cleary & Craig Bellamy.
Unless you can bring either of those two coaches here - we are going backwards.
Why do you want changes & “hard decisions to be made”
I assume you want a premiership & you want it now.
Cronulla fans, better than anybody know premierships are hard to come by; we have won 1 in 50+ years;
I loved watching Flanno build a premiership winning side - Lewis in, Ennis in, Barber, Jimmy in etc - it took Flanno longer than 38 games.
Why bail on Fitz so early?
Having patience & being realistic allow me to enjoy watching this team - just as they are.

I think it’s the fact that there has been no improvement over 2 seasons now - yes early days for sure but if this squad was given to another coach would they do better ? We usually beat teams we’re expected to due to our roster but rarely beat teams that are alike/matchedCrikey - where does this talk come from?

Do people believe we genuinely have a premiership window at the moment? With all the criticism of the current squad (and coach), the top 8 record and how we were bundled out last year it's hard to imagine many believing we are gf bound this year.I think it’s the fact that there has been no improvement over 2 seasons now - yes early days for sure but if this squad was given to another coach would they do better ? We usually beat teams we’re expected to due to our roster but rarely beat teams that are alike/matched
Our record is pretty bad we’re just lucky we don’t have to face good teams pretty often, even though early days it doesn’t mean he escapes criticism from things like player picks, bench, game plans, re signings, defensive structures, forwards improvement, game management plans etc
In these areas I feel we are underdeveloped and that is a coach thing - I don’t want us to be a club that just coasts by and before we know it we’re 3/4 seasons in with no improvement and our premiership window is gone because now we do have a little window and with some improvements we could get there
And how many of those 25 wins are against top 8 teams?Crikey - where does this talk come from?

We beat the Roosters when they were in the top 8... and after last night Manly are in the 8 so I'm counting that one as wellAnd so far were 0-5 against top 8 teams in 2023.
I think there is an opportunity, but I think the real window opens when Finucanes and moylans contracts run out. Our younger squad will have that Extra finals appearances and we should have plenty of time to find those perfect additions to the squad. Nicho will be moreDo people believe we genuinely have a premiership window at the moment?

We are very close to it if the coach can make smart swaps/purchases in the transfer market but we seem to be quiet in that areaDo people believe we genuinely have a premiership window at the moment?
