I grasp the point.. but what the reason for those dropped balls and lack of possession comes from is low standards, no accountability and poor coaching.

And possibly lack of fitness?

Not sure why this is such a hard point for people to grasp. It’s clearly been the case and logical.
Its just lazy thinking to refuse to accept it

Give up . It's pointless. Let's just wait and see if this totally unfit team can miraculously string some wins together.

So if we win a game, it means we are fit?

There is no doubt we are unfit.
Being unfit is an issue in itself but it is compounded when we drop so much ball and make ourselves defend. A fit team could handle some of that pressure we cannot.

I can't be bothered but it would be interesting to see if we had a high set completion rate in the Bulldogs game and if they had a poor rate.

Those 2 will just find some other excuse as to what happened in that game.

Everyone with eyes can see we are unfit - especially opposition coaches and guys like Hindmarsh and Johns who have played hundreds of NRL games between them.

This is the result of the player driven leadership plan JD and Schaefer came up with.

We completed at 92% that game.

The Dogs 77%

They had 11 incomplete sets to our 3

One game all year, and we only just won it!

Have you seen house prices for Canberra? It's ridiculous for a made up state in the middle of nowhere with the best attraction a kids science museum.

It’s so made up, it’s not even a state

At least Gordy is calling it out.

The other media types that went ballistic over Souths signing Wighton wont say a word though...

It goes both ways.

Good clubs have player blocks for up and coming talent who get pilfered by struggling clubs.

They have rosters who’s value get too great that players are forced out of.

Both those situations benefit bottom feeders.

Occasionally when a top club finds themselves with 800k, of course that’s a desirable proposition for a player in their mid 20’s who’s ready to win footy games and take the next step.

The problem Gordie should call out is the ridiculous over market prices bottom clubs pay to attract talent, instead of rolling their sleeves up and building a club organically in a measured and competent way.

The Warriors didn’t lash out and pay massive overs for their resurgence. Testament to that is the fact JFH has just went there on market value. Ditto the Sharks. They paid a fair price and bought quality adds.

Run your club better.

Everybody is playing under the same system. Whether you need to improve your ownership structure, executive, football dept, pathways, or marketing. Saying ‘it’s not fair’ doesn’t cut it.

Npt possibly surely- one of the biggest reasons for errors in any sport is fitness or lack thereof

Go back and listen to Flanagan's presser after the Cronulla loss. He talked about how his team fatigued in that game. Pretty much exactly what's been happening to us. So Saints are also unfit hey ? It should make for an even contest then.

Our completion rate in the Bulldogs game was over 90% from memory.

Again could someone please put our team finess tests on here to back up your unsubstantiated comments . If you can't do that then it's basically made up gossip.

he often comes to our defenc. Has a real soft spot for us after he’s time down here
