Blind Freddy to coach blues?

[Mal Cochrane]

first, NSW need a coach where players wouldn't think for a second to go out on the drink/be somewhere they shouldn't/do something they shouldn't. NSW coaches of late haven't had that aura, and instead have caved for players or trying to be a nice guy/one of the guys.

Long overdue to get f'n serious. Gus, Des or perhaps bellyache now he apparently 'get's origin, whatever that means. The rest will pander to the players, especially ex-players like Laurie/Fittler who want to re-live glories and be one of the team.

Time to pick best players in their positions, not the best players and find positions. 3 or 4 fullbacks in a team is not the way to go.

If Fittler dropped the silly act and actually got serious I think he could make a very good NSW coach, especially if he has Gould guiding him.

When it comes down to it, not many people know the game like Freddie does. He was one of the best players not only of his era but of all time. Sure he failed as the Chooks coach a decade ago, but to be fair the Chooks team really did suck back then. They were on a down period after their successes of the early 2000's and Fittler was a victim of that basically being in the wrong place at the wrong time. But with the talent he'll have available as NSW Origin coach, and with Gould there to show him the way (lets remember that love or hate him, Gould was one of the best coaches the game has ever seen), he can be successful and lead the Blues into a fightback.

And as much as I don't like Johns.....there aren't many around who know the game like he does.

I don't get the love for Gus..............if people say Hasler is behind the times....................then Gus for sure is a bloke who the modern game has really passed by and his expiration date is long past.
Some of the sh*t he comes up with in commentary!

I think NSW's problem is simple ..............they got to stop picking "love themselves too much" stars and pick blokes who want to play......................

LOL Fittler. Communication skills are paramount for a coach and Freddie is as eloquent as the town drunk stumbling out of the local at closing time on the end of a 2 week bender.

NSW will win next year regardless of the coach. Simple case of a cycle coming around.

Gotta love your optimism SER8. You do realise it has been around 3 cycles of being pounded?

 

[brad]

Toovey should have been appointed coach if they were serious, but is not one of the boys . Fittler and johns might take it seriously at times , but it will also be a circus.

You're hired!

Haha well it's not even necessarily optimism as frankly I don't care much who wins Origin. Queensland have fought the law of averages for so long but eventually the law catches up with you

I can be the english interpeter for the players if they like if fittler gets the gig

Only if the law of averages applies, which in this case, it doesn't

 

[HoldenV8]

If the law of averages applied.....Mitchell Pearce should have won at least one Origin series by now lol. Thankfully he hasn't (and I don't say that as a Qld fan, I say that because if he did win one the Sydney media would NEVER let anyone forget it. Just look at how they were after Game 1 this year claiming the series was his redemption and even going as far as saying he should be the Kangaroos next halfback).

Sometimes I think that the law of averages is a term people on the losing side sprout off when they are more in desperate hope than actual confidence.

the fact Pearce is a premiership winning half diminishes the achievement for all before and after him.. The boob is the most over rated player along with moses and Norman
