I heard he's on the beers & bags for a couple wks in QLD & he'll roll in early November. Needs to let his hair down after all that secretly making team selections/coaching calls for us (only good ones, if it was **** that was Hannay) & relentlessly chatting up players in Origin camp & later the QLD NRL bubble to play for us all while masterminding all the good stuff the Chooks do.
Still a bit of work to do to bury that hotel room incident, then he'll be straight onto the tools for us

Great listen


Fair bit of Sharks talk, lots of good questions so recommend you give it a listen

Couple of key things I picked up
- Nathan Pickworth sticking around as Head of Performance. Fitz thought we looked pretty fit and injuries weren't too bad. Sounds like the performance team will have some changes though
- Purple belt in Jiujitsu
- See Finucane as a leader and one to set the standard but is open minded on who is leaders are going to be, will see how that plays out in training
- Sounds like he's set up the preseason already or mostly set it up. Seemed to pick up they've already had some staff meetings
- Doesn't have a goal for next year yet but wants to set them up for sustained success and doesn't want to YoYo around
- Will have a big hand in defence but also knows he can't purely focus on that. Gut feel he'll set it up and have Price run it.
- Liked what we did in attack this year, thought we looked good and wants to keep continuity and not change too many things but lift the standards.

Relieved he didn't mention putting a broom through the forum. Will be trying to lift my game though.

So, after having listened to this podcast episode, and taking into account Fitz's opinion on how Finucane will drive the boys at training, I expect them all to look something like this by round 1groundskeeper willie.jpg

Yeah I did it in my young 20s.

Was taking a piss at Bizzos one night when an old guy came up to me and asked how the chemo was going.

I forked out and got myself a Pitbull Shaver a few months back. Proper shiny cueball now.

I have a massive 4 inch scar from splitting my head open when I was a teenager, so fully shaved would ruin my boyish good looks.

Number 3 clippers is my latest sexy cut.

Have you not seen Lethal Weapon 3? You'd probably end up with some hot young bird flashing that thing around

I believe there's a Grand Final lunch on today and Fitzy is there rocking his Sharks Polo.
