The question is: Does Freddy have what it takes to beat QLD? As we have seen, experience as an Origin player does not necessarily translate to success as an Origin coach. Would Freddy have more respect in a prospective Origin players eyes than Laurie? I doubt it. Unlike Laurie Freddy does have First Grade coaching experience. If he is that good a coach why does he not have a current First Grade coaching position?
NSW have to be careful not to clutch at straws. There are a million things that one can convince onesself make sense when one cannot make sense of a situation. There might only be a handful of changes needed. The hard part is deciding which changes make a difference and which are change for change's sake and nothing more.
It is the upper level of NSW's apparatus which is clueless. Thus they direct those beneath them toward paths that bear no fruit. The blind leading the blind. Using the direction of the misguided to select the uninspired. To be led by the overconfident and a collection of the unimpressive to make up the team numbers.
Hey! Pick a new coach. That'll fix everything.
Good luck with that.Experience as an Origin player does not necessarily translate to success as a coach? Meninga, Daley, Walters, Stuart, Raudonikis, Vautin, Pearce and Beetson were successful Origin players and are series winning coaches. Freddy would be massively respected if he was coaching the Blues, played more games than any other NSW player in history, was a series winning captain, one of the greatest players off all time and an awesome guy who would be great to get along with. The current generation of players grew up watching him, would be in awe of him and would love and respect him with everything. If you ask me Origin coaches are really picked on who they are then coaching ability. Meninga is an average coach just like Pearce was but they are Origin legends who demanded the respect of their respective players and their Origin coaching record speaks for itself.
Freddy hasn't applied for a coaching position since because he is heavily involved with all the NSW junior reps and he coaches the City side so all of his attention has been at these 2 things. When he coached the Roosters they did make the top 4 in 2008 and did improve in 2007 winning 5, drawing 1 and with 2 losses from their last 8 games. 2009 was a terrible year I won't deny that at all. I feel Freddy has the man management skills as he did outstandingly will with City this year and I feel he has learnt from his coaching experience and would have some better skills than what he coached the Roosters.
