That’s right HB. The club and coach see Brailey as our long term 9, and Ennis rates him highly, but in fact he has the worst service and decision making of any 9 in the comp. Who would have thought.
Yeah, but when has Fitz ever been right about a player?

I love the call that people throw out when they say he’s a coach he can’t get it wrong.

It’s cute, fact is coaches get a lot of calls wrong so does everyone else it happens

We went from Brailey being mid to him having the worst service and decision making of any 9 in the comp.

Love it

Brailey has prob the best service in the game. His decision making needs work though.

I agree mate, coaches can make mistakes plenty of times. What amuses me though is those who think they know better than him with practically little experience or knowledge of the game. I never played league and while I love the game and know it reasonably well, I wouldn't even start to think I would know better than the coach. But some on here do. It is hilarious!

I love it even more when people who's only rugby league knowledge comes from sources such as NRL360 and/or watching (and possibly having played a few) games are irreevocably certain about something that multitudes of proven professionals firmly diagree with... or who invent opinions with the sole motivation to ****-stir. Either of these makes it worth taking a second look at any shared opinions, because they're almost certainly wrong.

He drip-feeds it to him via email though!

If Sir Chad keeps sharing our thoughts we will have Fitz winning coach of the year in no time
That's NSW Cup coach of the year because he has been fired as an NRL coach

An ex-Aussie skipper who dabbled in a bit of #9 rates him as well. He only played 430 NRL games though so not sure that stacks up to 1000s of forum posts.

Just seen David Fifita has finished up in England and is now back in Sydney.
Wondering if we will see both of them look to sign with someone as it’s been stated they wanted to play together in their last season.

The show isn't called NRL430 for a reason. He probably knows bugger all.

People wanted to do it while he was playing well enough to win it so why would they stop wanting to move him now.

Think of how good he could be if he touched the ball less!
Still need a genuine half to partner him. Tries to do too much at times and is frantic because of the responsibility and pressure to be the only game manager

Brailey is mid. No need to be upset about it

Big deal. He needs to improve because he has it in him

Having Ennis showed you how much a good 9 can change a game and your team

Don’t say that - the pansies in here will have a break down, we love having Hynes be our one and only kicker and everything in between .. we also love getting knocked out in straight sets watching Hynes try to do it all.

Have I ever said anything to the contrary?

Seen plenty before and better than Ennis but if he was your eye opener to the importance of the guy who starts every set.

We went from Trindall isn't that good, to we want Nicho to do everything and love getting knocked out in straight sets.

Love it.
