  We looked unfit from the 1st game & never improved all season. Teams definitely fitter than us.
  More questions BA needs to answer - oh but wait, cuz he didn’t have a football manager he can’t be held accountable for anything right?!!!

    It was the heat mate. Always an excuse!

  You’re spot on. Every other team looked fitter, faster, bigger and more physical.
  The loss of our wrestling coach adds to the defensive issues.
  The loss of Ronny Palmer as head trainer adds to the strength and conditioning issues.
  The loss of peter gentle as assistant coach adds to the defensive and attacking issues.

    BA needs to be sacked. Pay out his $500k and go get Macguire or someone who is known for flogging the team and demands nothing short of 100% effort.

  I think Parramatta is the only team who has a captain who starts on the bench. That is another problem. The team this year was mentally weak. In 4-5 games this year we lead the opposition with less than 10 mins to go and lost all of them. That's 8-10 points right there.

  Things are not going to improve unless a major clean out of playing personnel is put in place.
  Mannah, Jennings, Mau, Takarangi, King, Pritchard, Moerea, Moses T/Rex. are all non performers and need shifting on.
  Most of these are taking to much of the cap, and not performing to NRL level. Getting replacements will be difficult as few good players actually go on the open market.
  They are usually snapped up by Roosters before their contracts are finished.
