Yeah he’s a worker - freshen up for a few weeks then into it …

Exactly, no doubt wants to head home and get some good family time in but the players turn up Nov 1 so he'll want his pre season all ready to go by then. That's 6 weeks away. Can easily take a decent break and start before Nov .

When will Price start you think, imagine later into the year with Super league and isolation requirements you'd imagine ?

I imagine Fitz already has a pretty good idea how he wants to start preseason. Probably already flicked that back and forth with S&C team or will start to soon. Don’t think he’d be under too much workload for around a month but will want to know he is happy with planned start.

Probably already has been and will finalise convos with Hannay, Mooney and junior coaches who to bring into FG training.

Potentially still a bit of recruitment stuff going on also.

Doubt he took the job and got this far without having a basic idea how he wants team to play but may not work on that much until in person starts.

Not like he has never seen an NRL preseason before and needs to spend the next month studying up

Was at the Roosters end of season presso and Robbo gave him good farewell. Couldn't be more confident he's going to make it as a coach and wish him lots of success in making Grand finals but stopped short of wanting him to win one haha

First day in the big job coming up. I reckon he'd already be putting covers on his books and sorting out his pencil case.

Ha ha. Definitely! C.O.A.C.H. F.I.T.Z
Funny story, a friend of mine in year 7 put “MRS so and so” on her pencil case because she had a massive crush on best mate at the time. Fast forward 20 years and they’ve been married for over 10 years… she still has the pencil case 😂

You would want to buying from Smiggle. Gee they know how to charge.
That's for sure. And if you get a Smiggles pencil case you've used up all your money and have to fill it with lower quality pencils and a dodgy sharpener. It's just not a winning formula.

Riccio - has someone from Penrith joining our staff. Scott Campbell in strength and conditioning. No idea if this is good or not but it's a slow news day so I thought it was worth sharing.

Sounds alright new staff is part of a rebuild…

Was interesting to see this…..roosters with a specialised wrestling coach….does Cronulla have this??? If not really hoping Fitz brings this as Cronulla really does struggle with slowing the play

He’s been around a bit. Think they worked together before, can’t remember which one.

Also think I read about this a while back. Not sure if it’s to take over or help out. He’s not the head guy at Penrith.
