Back to Sydney FFA: to be fair, they lost Grant in the pre-season - still nothing compared to all the bad luck suffered by the Jets...

I agree they should start to worry: still the most complete team in the a league, but their confidence is not that good anymore - lost in the ACL, lost with the Jets.
And their fitness doesn't look that good either: in the second part of the game last Sunday, they were clearly struggling to keep up with the Jets, despite being 1 man up the whole game.
I think their fitness is probably decent, although having two old blokes at fullback and getting them to push high against a team looking to counter hard and fast is gonna cause you problems.
We were outrunning them cause we were hungry as shit to show them up, especially after the perceived "being wronged" after 15 minutes.

Don't forget Nabbout has been running like a madman all season anyway. I would guess the half time sub of Brown may have been planned and him told to go hard and same with Kanta second half, and Dimi and McGree were both hungry pushing forward to support.
