Brad Fittler Highlights ᴴᴰ

[@jeffdavison3955]

Should be the next immortal full stop! What he achieved in the game and for what he is doing now after finishing playing ...what a legend he is

[@adamsenel324]

My hero . With one of best songs ever Cant get better

Probably the 2nd best player I’ve ever seen play behind Joey Johns. True legend and should be considered for immortal status

best roosters player we ever had. one of the best in the history of the sport

[@Sam-uj6ls]

bobba68 that was his nickname terry

[@morrismullins4291]

Best player Roosters ever bought more like it.

[@krusekids]

I still think he's the greatest five-eighth in the history of our sport. Wally Lewis never got it done outside of QLD. When the king finally made the move to the NSWRL he never won a Premiership. Freddy on the other hand got it done for club, state and country.

[@trippa702]

i dont know how anyone thinks otherwise.. Fitler was bigger, stronger, faster, had a better kicking game, better passing game, better defensive game. He was better than Lockyer in every facet of the game.

The cheap headbutt from villasanti on Freddy in the 2002 Grand final vs the warriors villa headbutt the whole team and they got in behind their captain and moved into another gear then was the 40/20 Freddy kicked and got momentum the rest is history.Having a guy like him at the helm in a team as Ricky Stuart would of found out is easier to coach but when they retire you better have a good plan not just get a guy who's a big running 6 and may have worn the blue and the green and gold jersey a few times.sorry Ricky you got found out

[@neilkruse835]

Freddy is the greatest five-eighth of all time. With all due respect to Wally Lewis, the famous Queenslander is not the best no. 6. While Lewis was an amazing player, he never got it done at club level. In three years with a loaded Brisbane team he never got close to a Premiership, and no one really counts the old Queensland competition as a legitimate barometer of club success. All the best players like Mal Meninga left for the NSWRL early in their careers because they knew it was the premier league competition. Freddy got it done at club level with Penrith and Easts, as well as for New South Wales and Australia. The mythology surrounding Wally Lewis has propelled him to a level that his record doesn't really justify. Even Wayne Bennett admitted that at the end of 1990 he had to get rid of Lewis if the Broncos were to be successful. Freddy on the other hand was crucial to his teams chances. Just look at how the Roosters collapsed from 2005-2009 in the aftermath of Freddy's retirement. Wally's fantastic, but at second receiver Brad Fittler is without peer.

[@beau.s8031]

Yeah and I remember seeing him walking out of the old Balmain leagues club drunk and he punched his gf in the face. Total grub. Another unknown story hidden from the media....

[@jarredortiz305]

how did he score at 0:35??

in those day you could play the ball in any direction providing there were no markers.

[@kiddo_91]

Watching this to get my footy fix while the NRL is suspended. Absolutely fantastic package mate, Freddy was probably the greatest Rooster ever and one of the greats of the modern era. He had it all but his step and leadership were unmatched. When the game was on the line, he'd always lift. Just look at the 2000 prelim v Knights, the 02 GF or the Anzac Day game from 04 where he single-handedly stepped two players to score and seal a Roosters win. Perfect song too buddy, I get emotional every time I see the video.

[@alexwilliams8001]

6. Fittler 7. Johns Imagine.....

[@ROOSTERMANPRODUCTIONS]

its more then a football montage, this is a tribute to the man, the roosters legend Brad Fittler, i could have done what everyone else does and add rock or rap but i though it needed some feeling to it, try watching it again and you will see that every clip matches the music.

[@gabrealh]

Gee I miss Freddy! They don't build them like that anymore!

[@wattoman28]

Anthony Tupou was a gun, i remember watching him set up Freddie. Sickest try

[@rewster7]

Freddy didn't hide behind the attacking line. He was the attack. He directed every play. His long driving kicks would always put his side in the position he wanted. He single handedly turned the '02 Grand Final with a 40-20 kick which completely swung the game in his favour. His sidestep is unmatched, almost impossible to defend against. A keen eye, and acute passing game would put players through gaps with ease. You've been watching footy for thirty years without ever watching.

[@xtremevangeli00pana]

Brad Fittler was probably the best Five eight of his Era. Better than Lockyear,Thurston, Marshal. In my opinion he was indeed better than Andrew Johns. No Doubt are all those players listed above GREAT players but to be honest you cant go past the one and only Freddy Fittler

[@mediocregaminggaming2982]

Vangeli00Pana how is johns an immortal before freddy

[@yesgo4887]

Leigh Brannigan coz he is a fan obviously. Thurston is better than Locky and Johns. And these two immortals are better than Fittler

when did they get rid of the rule at 0:36 ... i thought it was like 20 years ago but obviously not.

Fitler is the most unique and greatest player... his career speaks for itself but the fact is he is the only player that brings tears to my eyes... not because it's sad, but of how proud he did his club, his state, and his country... He was just brilliant :')

[@davo63004]

This bloke could have played for 3 more seasons. I hated Freddy during Origin time. Loved him when he played for Australia. He was sensational and such a great competitor. That step broke plenty of opposition fans hearts. Glad he won a couple of Premierships. Even though I am a Manly supporter. I reckon He is a legend.

[@SUPAFLANDY]

Best half ever!!! Go you Mighty Roosters!!!!

[@vegasmaori6621]

Omg i just watched atturo gatti the boxers tribute with this song this morning and thought how good it will be to have a leauge or rugby player tribute with this song and then i seen this

[@blakeortiz1]

Brad fittler was untouchable. A god amongst men. Immortal!

[@craigslade4427]

blakeortiz1 what a crock of shit, he was no immortal, there only been one KING, he's from QLD

[@joshski85]

+craig slade Clear blatant bias. Wally was the King of Origin. However, he didn't dominate at ARL level as he was past his prime by the time the Broncos came into play and was even sacked by Bennett. Fitler was the youngest to ever play Origin, dominated his position of centre, won a GF with Penrith then went on to be one of the all time great 5/8s winning comps at the Roosters as captain. Big enough to play lock for Australia and NSW on a few occasions and dominated there too also captaining both those rep teams. His name deserves to be tossed up as a future immortal somewhere down the line. FYI I'm not a Penrith fan nor a Roosters fan. Fuck the Roosters!

[@craigslade4427]

I just like shit stirring the NSW supporters

[@AwesomeReevo180]

Ben ikin was the youngest origin player

[@user-hf5ti8ce7q]

Than why did he have such a hard time coming out of the QLD goal line. He was kept to nil. Only when Qld had a very depelted team did he do well.

I am back in Ireland but it was an honour to see this man playing league, thankfully I was there for the grand final..... legend get thrown around 2 easy buy he is 1

[@paulmihaere8270]

How's this bloke not an Immortal Another player that could do it all either in the backs or the forwards. Size, speed , step , vision , ball skills and tough. One of the games greats

[@SuperPenrith]

ironic how the team you use to play for had the last laugh over you. up the mighty panthers.but you were a champion and a great guy.

[@R00STERMAN22]

deadset how is fittler not considered the best 5/8 of all time. he had the best step, and the best kicking and passing game as well. Lockyer is good but he doesnt even compare to Fittler. Wally lewis is a joke, he played 3 games a year (origin). Fittler should have had the most appearances for Australia and origin if he didnt retire 3 years early in 2001 to concentrate on the roosters (as a result took them to 3 straight GF'S) on top of this he retired at only 32 years still at his peak.

[@rewster7]

Argument is invalid seeing as Freddy set up many tries from, like you said, anywhere on the field. Not to mention the fact that he held the Roosters side together during his entire time at the club. They made the finals every season he was there, and making the Grand Final 4 times in 5 years, which in this day and age is a huge task to do, only a slary cap-cheating Storm could match that. When he retired, the Roosters went backwards.

[@bradlymyboysroosters]

Brad Fittler, oh how do they say Andrew Johns is better than him? Andrew Johns didn't have the footwork like Freddy, didn't have the ball work like Freddy, I Still don't understand how people can say Andrew Johns is better than Brad Fittler.... it really pisses me off. Brad Fittler was the captain of Australia at the age of 20 getting payed $1.05M a season reportedly and the winner of the NSW series for origin gets the "Brad Fittler Medal." Reply to this and tell me why you think whose better..

[@bradlymyboysroosters]

FITTLER PUTS ON A STEP, PUTS ON A STEP AGAIN, OH GO FREDDY THAT IS MAGNIFICENT, OH YEAH GO FREDDY, YOU SHOW THEM HOW ITS DONE, PEOPLE SAY LOCKYER AND JOHNS YEAH YEAH YEAH, LOOK AT THIS MAN, LOOK AT THIS FACE, LOOK AT THIS ONE OF A KIND PLAYER, YOU HAD A GOOD ANOTHER 2-3 YEARS IN YOU FREDDY, I STILL LOVE YOU, AND I WOULD STILL HAVE YOU AS A RETIRED PLAYER STARTING OVER CARNEY AND ANASTA, GO FREDDY, YOU DID THE CLUB PROUD!, SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE TEAM OF THE CENTURY, UNLUCKY, ALL HAIL KING FREDDY

[@seanym23]

Don't get the point in the argument between Fittler, lockyer and Johns. You Aussies should just be happy you have had such talented players, up here we have to put up with super league telling us how great tomkins is when he's not good enough to be compared to slater. Saying that though, Ellery was the best loose forward of his generation and we do make better forwards up here.

[@stevvvvveperry]

its a shame, we will probably never see such a great individual player like freedy ever again, since the game is changing, mostly in the junior part, they are focusing more on trying to get kids to pass the ball, which is good, but they are taking the individual brilliance out of the game, freedy will probably be the last great individual player, the game will see.

[@rewster7]

Better forwards? I don't know about that. Peacock, Morely and Sinfield are great players but in the last ten years Australia have had Shane Webcke, Steve Price, Craig Fitzgibbon, Petero Civoniceva, Gordan Tallis, Nathan Hindmarsh, Steve Menzies, Luke Ricketson, Luke Bailey, Jason Ryles, Willie Mason, Paul Gallen, Luke Lewis, Matt Scott and David Shillington. Come on...

[@bradlymyboysroosters]

Look how good we were, at the time we had the Australian and Nsw Captain Brad Fittler, We had the Queensland and Papua New Guinea captain Adrian Lamb, We had the England Captain Adrian Morley, We had the Tongan Captain Lopini Paea and we had the New Zealand Captain Richie Barnet but what I am trying to say is, Fittler is better then Johns and you know it!

[@davidkeep6526]

Knowing what we know now any club would pay sqwillions for a 18year old Freddie ! Looking at the last 30years makes my No 1. And I'm a Parra fan ! Captain material, strength, speed and guts in defense. And if anyone cares.....Cam Smith No2 and Jonathan Thurston No3!

[@pahungnicolas7469]

Background music too loud, remember it's Freddy's video and NOT the bloke singing in the backyard 😊

[@rewster7]

Good for him,he certainly deserves to be immortalised, but I disagree with the decision of inducting him last season, ahead of players whom have waited a lot longer to get there whom were equally as deserving. Norm Proven, for example. Anyway, Freddy > Joey.

[@geezyoursoft]

@TheSoMan06 yeah bud...im not sure wot year they scrapped the rule.... it was sometime in the 90's....im showing my age!!....im 33...we use to do it all the time...get up quick and 'play on'!! :)

sorry to say it but I am gonna say it but since Fittler & Johns left the Blues havent looked the same his a Legend and an Immortal they both where just I thought Freddy was better

thanks for this, it brings back many, many memories for me, a Fittler fan from the word go.

[@user-hf5ti8ce7q]

Not good enough to be immortal. That generation has been and gone with Johns the last one. If he did not get put in with Johns his run is late and he was considered down a tier. . Next gereration startes with Shane Webkie.. Smith... Slater... Smith... Thurston...
