As we know the whole squad is basically what we have for the next couple of years. Interesting times ahead since Fitz has the team he wanted and it will be all on him to get the best out of them.

End of the day, the players don't seem to want to put their head on the line for our coach.

Have a look at the way Canberra players are willing to play for Ricky Stuart.

Just watched the presser... Not sure I totally agree with how I took Fitz's assessment of Nicho, that the team didn't pay well enough around him.

Fitz has put all his eggs in the Nicho basket but he'll need to be careful with that narrative.

Yeah. I thought the same.
I hope he is just trying to protect Nicho, but behind closed doors, he rips him a new one (as well as many others after tonight effort)

Fair to say that the season so far is pretty disappointing given last year's expectations.
Still if we manage to win more than we lose, we'll probably be in the 8.
Then only needs to win 1 finals game and he'll have outdone his old man.

Squad retention is good, but it can nurture complacency, perhaps the root of our current issues.
Not sure yet he has it in him to turn things around anyway.
But I'm looking at this from afar and have absolutely no clue about how the whole joint is run.

I don't think Nicho's problem was attitude. He came up with some bad plays but he does try. I feel a calm and measured talk would do better than a full blow spray.

The bloke needs to make some needed changes. He needs to refresh this team, get some new blood in who are hungry to prove themselves.

Does anyone know how Bradbury and Uele Jr have been going?

Mate he’s not going to throw a player under the bus in a presser. It’s not hard to get. They’ll chat internally but nothing is gained and more is lost by bagging a player in public like that
