Craig Fitzgibbon

[Michaeldragonslife25]

Still lives on the south coast and I think although he is a rookie would be an amazing coach
His the roosters defensive coach and the nsw blues
Also a old boy thoughts ?

 

[nontime111]

wait for Brownie as head, WITH Fitz as D coach adn assistant, that would be a minimum upgrade on Mc no hope of about 12000 percent for a start!

Done a proper apprenticeship unlike our moron and to the best of my knowledge never shown the door by someone as good as Bennett so from me it’s a big yes.

Yes- I have previously posted that he, Jason Demetriou (Bennett) and Jason Ryles (Bellamy) have learnt from the best three coaches in the game and all are highly regarded by their clubs. I would be happy with any of the three to take over from Big Empty Mac.

As l mentioned on another thread, l'd prefer someone with experience and ability but would settle for Fitz or Brown with the view that they would hopefully be an upgrade on McGregor.

As others have mentioned, Brown with Fitz assisting?

Let's face it, anything with a shiver would advantageous.

 

[Objective View]

I still hate Fitz for leaving the Dragons. I don't think his 'love' for the club is that strong.

Commute doesn’t seem to bother him..

 

[Captain Apollo]

You do just realise he's agreed to a new 3 year contract with the Roosters right to continue as an Assistant Coach? As such, unless he has a get out clause, he won't be available to go anywhere for a while.

 

[Coffs dragon]

Would take him in a heartbeat & is beyond an upgrade on McPeanut. Would also satisfy the Illawarra mafia as his Father, Allan was the 1st Steelers coach in the old ARL.

Pls open a thread for potential coaches... , if there isn't one already

Shaun David Wane (born 14 September 1964) is an English rugby union and rugby league coach, and former professional rugby league player. He is currently a high performance coach for the Scottish Rugby Union, and was previously head coach of the Wigan Warriors from 2011 to 2018, where he won 3 Super League Grand Finals.
If I was CEO this is the Rookie, I would Give a Contract right this Second for 2020-2021!

Last 4 dragons coaches...

Bennett...premiership winning coach....consistent footy and a premiership

Price...rookie coach...disaster

At this stage it’s a handshake agreement also Politis has stated he would be happy to let him go if a head role becomes available to him

Correct, and he immediately dismissed coaching the Knights.

" Despite already being sounded out by Newcastle officials, Fitzgibbon has recently recommitted to the Roosters and given his word he will remain with the premiers.

"He's extended his time at the Roosters and he's happy there so he doesn't want to look into it," Fitzgibbon's agent David Riolo told NRL.com.

"He's only just done an extension and he's given his word that he won't go elsewhere.

"We've been approached by the Knights, which is flattering. I can see why they've approached him because he's probably the best coach not head coaching at the moment.
