Official Craig Fitzgibbon

[Sir Chadley]

Thanks for sharing mate.
It does have me pondering what questions you could ask... Like, who does he like wrestling with the most?

Mate, I only email him for important things.

And is he partial to a battered sav?

 

[Sparkles]

And is he partial to a battered sav?

How do the squad react to a Hello Boys?

 

[bort]

Knock on wood he gets to coach his first ever round 1 as Sharks coach

 

[Tiger Shark]

Interview with him on Vossy and Brandy Radio show. Available on the usual podcast apps.

 

[Gards]

Can coach be whipping boy/man?
Not impressed

He can be as disappointed as he wants or he can sort this crap out

We lost to a very average raiders side with the same old problems.

Club has shown alot of faith in this bloke and while it's early days this season and with his contract he can't ride the hype and potential forever

No Nicho wasn't the problem . Nicho alone doesn't fix our defense , discipline and line speed and fitness

 

[Flanno]

In Fitz we trust mate, he’s doing a good job. It’s a long season, let’s not get carried away.

 

[jocktheshark]

I must say his use of the interchange has me stumped .

 

[Thresher]

Fitz learning the sorrow

Finished second in his first season and it’s the end of the world because we lost to the Raiders in round 3.

Special joint this place fair dinkum.

 

[CrazyMatt]

Yeah its not time to turn the blowtorch on him yet. Nowhere near it. Fitz is a long term investment, there are going to be ups and downs, that’s unavoidable with an inexperienced coach.

Its round 3, not time to hit the panic button.

 

[Thresher]

I hope we lose the next 10 games so the club has to sack him

 

[Gards]

Calling it as I see it. There is a hang over from the JMO era that was falsely resolved for 3 months early 2022 then a softish draw carried us through on Hynes back.

Our forward pack isn't effective and we have the discipline of a crack addict in a drug den combined with the defensive resolve of a sponge cake.

Our attack will only take us so far

If your happy where we are at no worries and wanna give the coaching staff a pass. I'm not

JMO was a rookie coach too, he would be crucified for this level of performance

 

[HaroldBishop]

I said when we signed Fitz we'd be a contender in his third year.

Remember Panfers'fans calling for chin nuts snr to be sacked a few years ago?

Are you saying it’s not his fault but we should still blame him?

 

[Gards]

It's on him to sort it out, he hasn't. JMO did the best he could with what he had

Our squad is better, our cap is better , he has more resources and staff and has been talked up big time.

I didn't say sack him, he prob comes good, just saying as of right now it's kinda ugly and the players get bagged but the coach never gets brought up other than how amazing he is

Someone tell me why our defense still sucks , our discipline , our pack , our use of the bench

We are kidding ourselves if the coaching staff doesn't deserve some flack and to take some responsibility. That's all I'm asking. They should never be beyond critism

There have been improvements but some things have stayed the same and some weeks seem to have got even worse. There is something off post Flanno

I do think we are one marque Prop short TBH.
A true enforcer.

Fair, good explanation

A lot of talk about defensive resolve as something he would bring but seems to be a very attack oriented coach from what we have seen.

He got the team to second on the ladder last year.

You say it was off the back of Hynes, and yet he hasn’t played this year and you’re still beating it up.

Special place this joint fair dinkum.
