Star winger Ronaldo Mulitalo was equally determined. “We let our fans down that night. We knew it would be a tough game and we just didn’t play well. We needed to give the Tigers more respect.”“It’s a difficult but good position to be in,” Fitzgibbon conceded. “It is hard that some blokes will have to miss out but it is good for our depth. I am confident that the side we put out on Saturday night will get the job done.”

JIBBER, just sfu, bite down on mouthguard/ grit the teeth, and get the job done

I wonder how a coach can prepare a team to 'not take games lightly'.

Players are human and it would require some kind of mindset adjustment. It really needs to be driven by the senior players during the week to keep each other to account at training etc.

You nearly need to train / prepare like it's a semi final.

Fitzgibbon guards against complacency



Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon will earn his money this week if the Sharks get up against the Bunnies on Saturday night. The Rabbitohs are currently at the bottom of the ladder and in total disarray with all the talk about their stars not firing. All the talk is about their coach on his last legs and the Latrell factor is also not getting them any good headlines.

But coach Fitzgibbon knows about the dangers of this game. “A few weeks back we went to Leichhardt Oval and got beaten by the Tigers, a game we were expected to win. We can’t let that happen again.”

Star winger Ronaldo Mulitalo was equally determined. “We let our fans down that night. We knew it would be a tough game and we just didn’t play well. We needed to give the Tigers more respect.”

It will be a sure thing that Fitzgibbon will have his troops better prepared for this clash, it would be totally embarrassing to lose to the Rabbits given their current predicament. He pointed towards the slow starts his side have had recently, the most recent game against the Raiders a prime example. He is determined that this does not happen on Saturday night.

Second rower Briton Nikora will return for the Sharks after serving his two-match suspension and there is talk that Royce Hunt and Braden Hamlin-Uele will also make their returns. This may mean that Sifa Talakai may return to the centres, pushing out Kayal Iro who had a very solid game against the Raiders.

“It’s a difficult but good position to be in,” Fitzgibbon conceded. “It is hard that some blokes will have to miss out but it is good for our depth. I am confident that the side we put out on Saturday night will get the job done.”

It is assumed that rookie Jye Gray will take Latrell Mitchell’s spot after the latter agreed to a 3 week suspension for his elbow to the jaw of Shaun Johnson.

Yep, totally agree. Bored at work so I went back to my old "wanna be journalist" days and typed it out!

I've got a sense of humour but half the people that read this post about no complacency believed it. That is reckless.

Some people need to stop treating this forum like it's their own personal fiefdom. This has always been a place for reliable news and informed opinion. More recently it's become a place cluttered with rubbish posts.

We used to block pests who came on here posting annoying rubbish - now you're all giving each other hi fives for doing it.

Im gonna leave you guys to your schoolboy antics from now on cause you're out of control.
