Fittler had no choice but to walk away | Wide World of Sports

[@Swip3rr]

Honestly feel bad for Freddy, he puts in the effort. May have made some bad choices but the guys only human. Doesn't deserve all the hate he gets, he wasn't on the field when they lost an unloseable game in Adelaide

[@chriscasey5772]

He did put Cook in the centres when he had Murray there though

[@naterutherford7224]

Thank you for your wonderful service Freddie 👍

[@moot5331]

Freddy put so much effort into travelling the bush to help country rugby league & gets no thanks for his efforts, he doesn't ask for thanks but still it would be nice to show respect

[@dreamfishbabyblok-oranje6747]

Your one of the best people in the nrl. Enjoy your extra family time and a few more salutes to the 🌞

[@oldenshort1346]

In other Words they Pushed him OUT.

[@baccycones7644]

Brad took the criticism very well and has handled the situation great. I don’t get all the hate, Freddy is a good bloke not a great coach but that doesn’t mean you gotta hate the guy now.

[@SlaintheMhath]

3 series wins out of 6, second best NSW coaching record.

[@Kyrie501]

Pretty disrespectful the way the board handled it. If they didn't want Freddy, they could've just told him instead of low balling him like that.

[@ajmuss856]

Probably best decision by Freddy

[@macetaylor409]

Matty Johns coach Fletch and Hindy as mentors

[@galesly8787]

Omg please no the three of them are a joke think it would be a big mistake if they are picked

[@Davechappelle445]

He got offered 1 year because of his poor record and his poor selections. The guy put Dane cook to the centre and conceded 5 mins later.

[@salvito9839]

he’s got the best blues win rate behind Gould - i agree last two years haven’t been good but what a way to disrespect a blue great, my opinion as a Queenslander

[@Plugitinbby]

Dane cook is an actor 😂

[@jarrodtroy695]

@willk8734 you mean Damien Cook

[@Davechappelle445]

@@jarrodtroy695 damien my bad lol

[@SlaintheMhath]

Cook played in the centers for the rabbits.

[@Komz8782]

He deserves atleast some sort of medal for his loyalty and hard effort coaching the blues through the years! Thankyou coach🙌🏼🫶🏼👏

[@sodum-6770]

I am not a fan of his but I don’t understand why they thought it was a good idea to let him walk away and l am a Queenslander

[@IronMikeNoMore]

NSW RL are bonkers

[@Gamminn]

Legend thanks Freddie from qld always loved what you do

[@kinchegayowie6167]

Put ya feet up, and watch ya kids play footy, you have a foot in each code , embrace and revel

About time

[@RugbyLeagueHistory]

He had to fall on his sword.

[@moot5331]

No one coaches elite players , NSW & the media never back there coaches , as it's been said before Queensland back there coaches & players so much better

[@Mackyanguson]

Great player not a good coach

[@galesly8787]

And he is not alone to mention just 1 Wally Lewis great player terrible coach 😢

[@twelve98]

He’s lost 4/5 why the fck should they give two years

[@BenWick-oc8pv]

Kev Walters finished with the wooden spoon Now look where the Broncos are. This looks like the Tigers. Boot a coach without having a better replacement ready to sign

[@SlaintheMhath]

He won 3 out of 6 series.

[@BrendenSimon-w7n]

Coaches come and go,That's life of being a coach

[@darylkanofski9327]

Especially if you are from NSW

[@cp238]

Freddy probably told them he wants to bring in More Panthers next year

[@Jimmyjim4]

Bring in Cameron Smith as the coach!

[@galesly8787]

Oh for *()’ sake no bloody Queenslander to coach nsw

[@viti8347]

Good call Brad. You are a better man than this mob. Cheers.

[@kevinwaters5872]

Being interviewed by Danny “the idiot” , that is the insult.

[@James-zy8nh]

He lost his job when he picked TPJ😂

[@zoef234]

Bill slater has less experience as a coach yet selected, coached and motivated his players without any dramas. 👏👏. Freddy not fit to be a coach.

[@SlaintheMhath]

There were dramas but the Qld media gets behind their team whereas the NSW media are a pack of rabid mongrels more interested in clicks than NSW winning origin.

[@paulburger2963]

He had too go it was not workin

[@darylkanofski9327]

Nothing surprising coming from the Blues

[@galesly8787]

The person to coach nsw has to bleed blue and Paul gallon fits the bill plus qld hate him that’s a win win situation ❤

[@christiandent7211]

Any wonder. He’s a dreadful coach.

[@TysonVincent-ks4zw]

Look he lost his job because of his boisterous approach to selections instead of picking the best option for New South Wales. He picked who he liked better and that's not state of origin You've got to pick people who want to play for the jumper because how many times have you seen an origin? The better team doesn't always win the team who's won to leave pieces of themselves on the field

[@stevebell395]

He wasn't doing that good with them Ny way

[@stevebell395]

Money

[@Hanzothagod]

Now we’re gona get another bum who has no relationship with the players and his stupid ideals to lose us more series.

[@nagibkanaan2464]

He left because of money His pay dropped from 450k to 300k

[@Grievous-]

There is more to it than just money. Fittler was offered a one year extension but he was wanting two years.

[@gavlaw9690]

The main reason was the offer of a part time role

[@nagibkanaan2464]

@@gavlaw9690 its the money bro They pushed him out I was told from a good source close to him It will come out By the way the job is part time By the way they only offered him one year

[@danedwadd62]

@@Grievous-he was never getting 2 though as if lost next series he would lost 3 out 4

[@bradcozens]

People seem to forget his role was all year , clinics , charity events, speaking events , hog ride , mental health stuff under NSWRL so it's not just 3 games a year

[@cyborg6666666]

Fittler can't coach thank god he is gone!!!!

[@arthurmckeown1937]

They will get a better coach to replace him for the money. It's just how sport goes. Fittler seems to be a decent person but he is inferior to Slater as a coach so getting canned is fair enough.

[@Outbackbogan]

too big for a club coach hahahah tall poppy syndrome $$$$ 😅

[@QwidgyboMan]

You lose three out of the last 4, its amazing they offered him anything.

[@SlaintheMhath]

He coached 3 series wins out of 6, second best NSW coach after Gus.
