I think it’s fairly certain that a small number of posters won’t be swayed towards Fitz being a good coach no matter the facts or arguments presented. And that’s fine, it’s a free country.

But I honestly believe this is the first year Fitz can 100% be judged on his performance on where we finish. It’s definitely his side for sure now, but I personally won’t say all is good or bad until the end of the regular season.

Alight look at it this way you have a choice of current coaches and you can have who you want name your top 3?
Griffin
Walters
Barrett 😜
& this is exactly why we should be happy with what we’ve got!

Two top four finishes and a top 8 finish is pretty good. You look at our spine and compare it to the other big teams, we don’t have the same star power

We’ve really only picked up an X factor player for this season in Blake.

There aren’t any real superstars.
No disrespect to our boys.

But they have over achieved I feel.
Definitely a good thing.

He has done a good job getting us to finals series (He had a good squad to start with, so it was probably expected anyway)
But we need him to now get the team to progress through to GF,‘s and Premierships

Have you got a PowerPoint presentation to run me through it ?
By the time I prepare it and run you through it someone else might be the good coach. If Craig shuffles his way up the goalposts will probably move as well. Pack lunch bring some snacks, it’s gonna be a long video session.

If the suggestion of not getting certain players up for big games is true ( im undecided).I would also look a little closer ( than solely at HC) at the recruitment mgr scrutinizing how long several players were monitored way back in pathways in Big games and the players they had around them in those teams, before signings.

Most are.

Still waiting to hear where I had a sook because I don’t think we can get better.

Maybe try a little reset yourself before you worry too much about trying to throw shots at someone else.

I think it’s poor roster management that also comes back on Fitzy.
I expect our team to be sitting in first and be favourites considering we have a roster entering the prime of their career

Hard to see how anyone thinks we have a team that should be premiership favourites. Hard to compete with the Storm's spine.
