You boys are also forgetting peak Barba in 16... Not many fullbacks were able to do the things he was doing

Defence, ball playing, catching, running, decoys he was legendary

And not his only great season but some forgettable ones in between.
Probably depends on whether you are talking career, block of time, season, single game etc

I think the end point is that people don’t feel that combo will work. It might be our best combo but if it is IMO we are in BIG trouble

Surely sometimes the players go against good advice and read the forums. If I was a mate of Fif's I'd be saying "go check out the Craig Fitzgibbon thread on SharksForever, the lads are talking your career up big".

Just heard Brett Morris on the Bloke in a Bar podcast today he said that when his brother came from the Sharks last year he was very underdone in the fitness department. He said this in a polite way (not as blunt as I put it)

I reckon a few of the boys will be in for a shock this pre-season under Fitzy.

I don’t think that pre season being a bludger is much of a secret anymore. We even got rid of the S&C guy for Pickworth.

Fitz has said he’s kept Pickworth because he thought we looked pretty for so a good starting point fit him to up the standard. Panthers guy will be good too.

Sounds like Josh has always been the weaker twin ;) Seriously though, the season before I thought we were supposed to be one of the fittest teams coming out of preseason and critics were wondering whether we'd overtrained and peaked too early.
