Coaches a winning game where we win a man down for 60 minutes and it’s parades through the streets.

Coaches a losing game where we lose the ball 60 times and it’s pitchforks.

Never a dull moment on this site

I don’t care if we win or lose Aslong as we put in a good performance.. we had enough talent on the field today to win and win well.

Another game this year where we look like we’re still back in the sheds, that’s the problem and that’s something that partly rests with the coach too last week was awesome but it means nothing after today..

It’s a bit like that isn’t it, for every win we have, courageous or up against a top 4 team we then drop a game with a below expectations mentality or against a low rank team.

We now are 6/4 which historically is a 6-8 position team come the conclusion of the regular season.

For all the hoo haa, pre season hype, big off season signings ls & a new top rated coach we are very close to previous seasons positions, hovering around the bottom of the 8, yes we are 5th right now but if we keep up this type of week by week performance we are likely to find ourselves at the bottom of the 8 or trying to get in the 8 in the final few rounds.

Yep - not good

It seems Fitzy's too nice. What we need is a huge rev up, doesn't matter who he upsets.
Looks like he's too afraid to ruffle some feathers.

The problem is that even if he wants to weird the axe - what changes can we make

Add to that we now have a growing injury and suspension list. Things will not get any easier.

Nah… Rekon he is just the coach we want
No need to air dirty laundry at the pressers. He sits there like he is a coach 4 sure he taps fifs and a massive chance wade as well on the shoulder later in the year.

Why do I feel like he’s going to keep shifting Teig for Wade

I think he will be a middle next week.

Hope it was something that is put to bed real quick…Issue is we have a horrible injury and suspension list at the moment still juggling and learning. Wasn’t you that said it, but one thing I’m confident of is that Fitz aint scared to make calls or ruffle feathers

HaroldBishop · May 15, 2022

Let's remember where we're coming from, the last few years have been bog average. Yes, we have some new players bit it still takes time.

Yep, we have had some great victories that has pumped the fan base but really a lot of work to do.

Please don't bring logic into this HB. Emotions are still high.

It’s our great start to the season that screwed things up. Once we saw what was possible, there was no going back and now we want more.

Over to you Fitz, we are about to find out if you’re the real deal as a coach

Yeah - there won’t be many , if any changes .

I would hope to see a reaction to that performance in what is another tricky away game , but one we should be winning ..

I don't think this year will define his coaching career.

It won’t but we’ll find out a bit about him & his methods etc

MrDravid · May 16, 2022

Fitzy has been pretty measured even after the disappointing losses. Be interesting to know exactly what he is thinking, and exactly what is going on in the camp. An up and down year isn't really a surprise, IMO it's just disappointing it has happened after our good start.

apezza · May 16, 2022

Tactically he is still working out our players / teams strength and weaknesses.

Unless you try different players in positions in a game environment you will never know.

Yep and some of the pre conceptions, and/or player preference whispered in his ear from the inner sanctum, will now be beginning to be unpack-aged. I think we sort of needed some lows ( and expected them earlier) , so he can get players/positions/players 25-30 sorted by mid season, on the run home and for next yr.Rather that than a Sharks end of season crumble/unmasking.
