We aren't unfit. We get tired out due to poor go forward and a lack of variety around the ruck which leads to losing the battle of field position.we will get exposed our unfit our team is

Totally agree, will be interesting to see how C.Smith goes with his “spoiling” tactics when defending his own line.From the first few games, the new rules favours teams that will quickly switch to attacking formation or have players that are "footballers" & not "athletes". These players can sense opportunities in tired defensive lines.
I am worried that the Dogs will use 4 of an extra 6 sets & tuck the ball under their arms for settlers. They will need to be adventurous & put the opposition under pressure.
Interesting to see how effective the Dogs will be against Manly.
Spot on. This will lead to way more blowouts. So while it's great to have less wrestle and a quicker game, it is also being played at such a fast pace that teams will capitulate way more than before and there'll be a lot less close games.I have concerns that the 6 again rule will create the situation where be there will be possession will be so lopsided that the games will be decided in the first 15-20 minutes. In the Parra Broncos game the Broncos did so much defending and used up so much energy in the first half that they were spent in the last 20 of the game.
Agree and I reckon Cogger is way more of a footballer than Lewis (so is Wakeham). Problem with Cogger is he's slow, but he can give clean ball so we need Lewis off and Averillo on as early as possible. The need for less settlers is maybe why Tolman is out.From the first few games, the new rules favours teams that will quickly switch to attacking formation or have players that are "footballers" & not "athletes".
