Come Home Fitzy

[ChookMaster]

That press conference will do me. Can we lure Fitzy over ?

[Rooster_6]

I was giving it until at least Round 4 before this annual tradition thread started up again.

[Bondicigar]

Fitzy is not the answer

[MKCS]

I'll always respect Robbo for what he did for our team and the 3 premierships, I also think we should be patient and give him at least the remainder of 2025 to change things but it is starting to get to the point where maybe he should be moved into a senior management position or something and a new coach is given a chance.

That ruthlessness no longer seems to be there and neither does the recruitment power. Jarome Luai for example should be our starting half in season 2025 but I don't think we ever were publicly linked to him, Robbo from a decade ago would've signed him and won a comp with him.

[Bansai Pipeline]

Yeah I was wondering why we where never interested in Luai.

Maybe it's because he didn't go to Scots.

well the annual tradition ends this year as robbo will be sacked for 2026.

We are spoon potential and it’s all at his feet

[HunchoRooster]

I'm not against changing the coach in the long term.

I don't actually think Fitzy is that guy though. He is guilty of what we've been guilty of in the last few seasons. Brushing aside the pack and getting humbled by the top sides. He's finished Top 4 a few times and never once have Cronulla looked genuinely impressive. In fact, we've beaten them in every big head to head game I can remember. Love the bloke but don't think he's the coach people make him out to be. Although you could do a lot worse.

[Thirteen]

Robbo has a rubbish side with too many guys playing who aren’t yet first grade standard. Whoever is in charge of recruitment and retention needs a kick up the arse.

Dom Young is useless. He will let in 2 tries for every try he scores. We need this chump gone.

It was the same when Lomax hit the open market. He would've been a great signing, he wasn't chasing big coin (pre SOO debut) and can cover wing/centre/fullback and goal kicks at a high click and seemed genuinely interested in coming over, yet Robbo immediately declined any interest in him. Madness. We lost Suualli & Manu and currently don't have a backup fullback.
