Given Penrith's poor start to the season, and especially Nathan Cleary's poor form, questions about conflict of interest would have to be asked surely? What would the rest of the squad be thinking watching little Mr. Perfect running around in the halves plodding it up and not even a hint of a hook coming from Coach Dad?

Probably thinking at least he is better than those plodders at the Donkeys.

You are confused. Brad Fittler's father was Adolf Fittler, a famous German painter who migrated to Australia after World War II, and helped conceive Bradley when Adolf was already 70.

Phil Gould is the father of two successful boys, Gus and Phil Jnr., one of whom is a commentator on Channel 9 and the other of whom writes a rugby league column for the Sydney Morning Herald.
