I agree with him. We'll only struggle if we believe we will struggle.

Otherwise it is week 1.

I hope we are believing we can hold onto the ball

OK, I know you guys poke a bit of fun at me about this (and fair enough) but yes, I did email Fitz yesterday to congratulate him on a good season and excellent finishing spot.

I also said it seemed a bit of a concern that we had only played weaker teams in the last five rounds and in some cases struggled with our attack and error rates. I said we are all a bit worried that against stronger opposition we will definitely struggle. I said no one seems to be giving us any chance of going deep into the finals.

I asked him if we can go to another level.

I also asked him a few other things about Sifa and Sione but he sidestepped those - which is fair enough.

But here was his response to thoughts that we may struggle against other teams.

Gday mate

Appreciate the email and support this year.

On your point on playing lower teams, all that is now irrelevant. We have a strong position to capitalise on, the only way we will struggle is if people believe we will struggle.

It will be hard no doubt, but the mind and heart are powerful tools.

We are looking forward to it.

Regards fitz

I love that message, you can see why we are doing so well in all aspects. Thanks for sharing

Imagine trying to explain the cloud to Flanno

ASADA really confiscated the computers to get their hands on previously unreleased Chad poetry.

He'll probably look up.

Get a cheap 2nd hand one from a meteorologist.

They are like this now

I think the “sir” has helped

Could just imagine the camera panning to the box during the game.

There will be Fitz, calmly talking into the radio and a man looking like the Monopoly Tycoon yelling and screaming after our boys dropping yet another ball

Is this what you think I look like? Well, well!

I don't know any rich billionaires so that's the first that came to mind

Any resemblance ?

 

[Sir Chadley]

Any resemblance ?

Yes to the hairline, yes I probably need a cane at the moment, I don't mind dressing up in top hat and tails, only thing is I have a beard rather than just a moustache. But close enough I reckon!
