No one was complaining about literally the same bench rotation when we were winning.
There were a few. I was one of them. There was an occasion where Fitz was a genius with his rotations and games where he ****ed it up completely. Thursday was not his best.

Pretty dangerous when you put someone beyond criticism.

I love the bench selections, but when a player is out on his feet and everyone watching the game can see he is, and even the commentators mentioning the fatigue, he needs to be replaced. it’s not brain surgery.

Are you putting him beyond criticism?

No mate I’m not. He’s not beyond criticism. Those who’ve been coaches in the past and ex-players certainly can criticise. I just think it’s a bit rich for those that haven’t experienced this level to be critical.

It's a forum mate, every aspect of the club and team will get scrutinised, as it should.

This is it.

No one claims to be in the coaches box, no-one claims to be anything other than a forum poster commenting on the mighty sharks. To suggest we cant have an opinion because we either didn't coach at an NRL level or play at an NRL level makes no sense. I think Fitz is a fantastic coach. Stoked he's with us. But he is accountable to us, the players and the fans. We are all stakeholders here so we have a right to have an opinion.

My opinion is that we have an incredible bench that is under utilised. I dont know why. I dont claim to. But it is as I see it.
