Chris Anderson quits - Fittler to take over

[Once Dead]

This is a surprise.

Wasn't "Sign Ben and Jarrod Anderson" the next logical step?

Nope, that was the next step after signing Damaging Don Tweedle....that guy was a star on the rise!

Its funny to think that Wayne Bennett was set to move out to Bondi for this year - but knew better!!!


Fittler cant do a Taylor, and heres why:
Parramatta were a quality side underperforming with B. Smith.
Easts are an ordinary side playing as well as they can.

Maybe it'll just be an Arthur Kitanas then

I dont know if anyone noticed, but the telecrap quoted Missy, choppies and engine directly from this thread in the paper today.
Besides all that though, It was well known that freddie was being groomed for this, and seeing as though this year can probably now be considered as a write off for the roosters, i guess it will atleast give Fittler the chance to cut his teeth in coaching and try a few things. He and the team may be better off for the experience in the coming seasons.

Freddy will do the job plus he will have great assistance too - pg & mj to start with

everyone is surprised? no one remembers when they signed anderson the board publicly said anderson was filling in time until fittler was ready?

the worst part is as someone already said, anderson punts all these players then pisses off, poor form

i have major doubts over freddy, great players dont always make great coaches. the thing in his favour is he has a great footballing mind, anderson was right, been out of the game too long
