Freddy Fittler

[Southern Eagle]

Let Freddie continue with NSW and try to build a dynasty. We need a coach who understands and our values and culture!!

Who is out there that meets that desciption that we haven't used before ( no Des no Tooves)??

For me, the connection with the club’s culture, values and history does not necessarily have to come from the head coach. I am ok having a non-manly head coach provided there is a strong manly influence in the assistant coach / support roles. If we could get the likes of Matty Ballin and Brent Kite in and around our young group, I think we would see a fast and significant improvement in many areas (including fan sentiment!!).

I think Freddy has matured greatly as a person, and a coach since his days at the Rorters.Hes been coach of various rep sides, and brings a fresh approach to training and team management. The reason why I don't think he will coach though, is his support staff. Fittler,Bedsey, Brandy gelled terrifically. Freddy's not going to give up his cooshy job @9, Bedsey, and in particular Brandy won't leave Fox. (Fox would throw a truck load of cash to make sure Brandy doesn't go).
As long as Freddie keeps winning SOO, I'm happy to keep the status quo.

Brandy lives in gods country in Manly and I believe he would make coach if he had a mind to do it.

Hasler never won a wooden spoon . You do realise this don't you ?

Mate I'm not saying that Fittler is a better coach than Hasler. Just that you can't judge a career in their first few years of coaching. Same thing with players. Matai wasn't a legend in his first or second year but he ended up being one of our best of all time by the time he finished his career.

I personally have no faith in any coach that gets a wooden spoon up his arse .
Just my opinion .

Craig Bellamy has a wooden spoon...

Craig Bellamy has a wooden spoon...

That was not performance based .That was due to the club salary cap breach .

Colonel Klink? I hear he understands a lot about nothing.

Sgt Shultz knows more about nothing than Col. Klink, just sayin’

You raise a good point, its generally a coaching team and we know Cartwrong is not a Barrett appointment and Seibold left prior due to management interference. Add to that Barrett has mentioned lack of people in the right positions before.

Not saying he can coach but certainly he is not being allowed to coach how he wants and with who he wants.

I would love to see Kite, Matty B etc back at the club adding to the team skillset.

Don't recall Peter Sharp ever winning one either

He came close , bottom 4 on the ladder .

Freddy with Paul Langmack and Baa Lamb as his assistants.

Or we could go with an ex manly boy Steve Martin, he was great at Souths.

Speaking of Souths we could seek out some of their former talented coaches Arthur Katinas, Shaun McRae, Craig Coleman or Ken Shine.


edit. Just checked, Langmacks career was indeed stellar. 14% success rate.
