Will be Fittler's last season.

Unless he wins.

 

[God-King Dean]

We won 18/19 based purely on having a more talented team. Had F all to do with any game plan conceived by Fittler.

2020. Bennett v Fittler.... Do the math.

I love Freddy, one of my all time favs. But he has no place coaching any side. A legit nutter.

 

[The Axe of Druss]

I can cop Freddy as coach but he needs to bring in guys like Benny Elias to teach the young kids that hating the Qld jersey and anyone wearing it is the key to lasting success.

Never relax, foot forever on their throat kind of stuff

He's going to have the problem of what to do with all these wonderful fullbacks he has. Turbo will be back and play centre which has worked before, but what does he do with Papenhuyzen, who has never started anywhere but fullback in his 45 NRL games. Maybe a utility back, but then you're down a forward on the bench and can Pap cover the 9?

We will pick 6 or 7 forwards that can play 80 minutes. We do not need 4 forwards on the bench. Radley or Murray can cover injury at 9.

How much 9 has Murray played? Hard to see where Radley even fits into the side.

Needs to pick centres in the centres. I'll make an exception for Latrell.

Well said.

So I’ve heard Fittler has already been signed to another year as origin coach......

Geez....

Seems completely unnecessary. Least it wasn't half time on Anzac day.

The thing I do like about Freddy is that he has instilled a new culture in this Blues side. He’s got a good balance between getting the players to understand the importance, but also has them very relaxed.
I don’t think he’s got many tactical bones in his body, and I’m sure even Paul Kent could have coached blues to a victory last night, but what he’s done for NSW in the past few years should not be understated.

 

[betcats]

I was big on freddy the first two years but thought he got completely out coached last year. He deserves a lot of credit for last night tho.

 

[Munky]

His post half time interview had me worried, was pretty incoherent.

Always like a coach who realised the best way to win is to have the ball in the hands of your best/most in form player and even Freddy knows that Tommy Turbo will destroy teams with ball in hand especially in a back formation off the ruck near the line of (left to right):

To'o, Latrell, Turbo, Luai. With Cleary and Teddy on the other side to keep the defence honest.

Each of those of those guy will beat their man most of the time.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Will be Fittler's last season.

Why's that?

Lol.

 

[God-King Dean]

I've always held Freddy's coaching in high regard

Picking fullbacks at centre can go one of two ways, it went the way he would have liked it to go last night but as we know, it hasn't always gone that way.

 

[Marshall_magic]

He’s in the Mal Meninga class at the moment. He has by far the superior talent base to choose from so the biggest challenge for him is to not screw it up by trying to get too cute or fitting square pegs into round holes. To be fair that has been the downfall of NSW so many times over the years.

Latrell is a 2 time premiership winning centre and Turbo has played plenty of footy there as well. When Mal stuck GI in the centres whilst playing fullback at Souths the risk was low. If Freddy stuck Teddy and Paps in the centres it would be a different story.

There are fbs like Turbo, Trell and that parra jailbird who can play anywhere.

Then theres fbs like Ted and Gutho. I also question Paps utility value
