Dear Freddy, 🤫 Sincerely, NSW Fans.

[@88-V-..-A-..-N-88]

This right here 👆

[@user-cb5tl5fu3w]

31 games for his state and 9 wins from 18 starts, Freddy has earned the right to have an opinion.

[@maxfish4770]

@@user-cb5tl5fu3w presided over how many series losses?

[@UluwatuHatiHati]

Freddys advice...Cook in the centres 😂

[@grimjim8463]

How about No? The last thing NSW needs is influence from Freddy. Keep Alexander away too.

[@SO-om2yy]

Add johns to that list👌

[@Will-nb8qk]

Keep Alexander further away.

[@topcat1406]

@Will-nb8qk Couldn't agree with you more.

[@VIKINGKING70]

QLD 3 PEAT INCOMING 😎

[@kinchegayowie6167]

Freddy, stay away and let him do his job , his way

[@russell3436]

Freddy giving Madge advice is like an average Joe off the street telling Wayne Bennett how to coach.

[@auzziguy449]

Freddy is right about the halves though. One of Hynes or Moses not both, notice he didn't mention luai as 5-8th, but endorsed Keary, Walker and even Wighton. His last game as coach, he finally got it right Mose & Walker > Cleary & Luai.

[@daleviker5884]

His last game as coach was a dead rubber and Big Nelson could have played half back and won.

[@user-cb5tl5fu3w]

@@auzziguy449How quickly they forget, it is why the blues suck, the media and supporters in Qld support their team.

[@auzziguy449]

@@daleviker5884 Kind of funny you said that, cause Freddy picking a prop for halfback wouldn't surprise, haha

[@Paul-ik8fm]

As a QSLD fan I think it's a real good idea that Brad helps NSW

[@Wintersgarage_]

Please don’t lend anything

[@glenjamin8]

Origin heart = Yes Origin knowledge = Yes Selections = No

Peth. WA

[@RaymondBarton-ux7tm]

why would anybody want fredys advice with his record

[@TheJuanvegas]

Should be a rule, if you have a job in the media, you can't be NSW coach. It should be one or the other. I have no idea how Madge will do but this is a massive positive

[@user-cb5tl5fu3w]

So Billy cant coach Qld?

[@mcgregorkurum]

I'd rather listen to Billy Slater

[@gavinringland1362]

Billy stater. Go. With. Titans

[@Daewonnni]

Sad that Cleary isn’t involved in the series this year.

[@VIKINGKING70]

GOOD NEWS 🗞️ HOPEFULLY IT'S LONG TERM 😂

[@trentfrompunchbowl]

Moses kicking game was good last game

[@user-cb5tl5fu3w]

Coming back from a broken foot 6 or so weeks ago, I dunno how good his kicking game will be? Last game was a dead rubber and the blues got props back from injury and won the middle, give the half the time he needs.

[@gavinringland1362]

Western Australia

[@user-cb5tl5fu3w]

Freddy played 31 games for NSW and coached 9 wins from 18 starts, second only to Gus. Jack Wighton has said "no thanks" so it seems Freddy wasn't the problem, Jack just wants to give value to the club that pays him. I wish the panther players would say "no thanks" when origin comes around, premierships are all that matter. Ezra born in Sydney, Tino born in Orange and a hand full of NZ and PI born players, state of origin, sure thing.

[@auzziguy449]

haha Panther players throw origin anyway and win the premiership every year so they don't mind the extra $$ from origin.

[@johnsonwithat2322]

It's obviously going to be nicho

[@stephenfox4278]

Coaching is not advisable Freddy. Stay clear of it perhaps...

[@Dude-etiquette]

Freddy can lend a hand by staying outside of NSW camp. He is the worst NSW coach ever. More interested in looking good in front of the camera then actually coaching.

[@Barry_Matthews]

Bellamy was worse

[@Will-nb8qk]

yes

[@auzziguy449]

@@Barry_Matthews That was like 10 yrs before Fittler's stint, I hate Bellamy but he didn't have near the same talent to pick from.

[@taiyonatiare7918]

Definitely not the worst 😂 3/6 ain’t as bad as ppl like to act like it is

[@TheJuanvegas]

​@taiyonatiare7918 it is with the team he had and the team they had. Bellamy was in the era of Slater, Locker, Smith, Inglis, Thurston. Cronk couldn't even get in the team, NSW were never going to win no matter who coached

[@manmountain3205]

Grant will fight and win💪💪💯👍

[@MungasaurusBravo69420]

Freddy was either very good or very bad with his selections and coaching with no middle ground.

[@DavidBulsey]

Hynes Has Something Cleary Hasn't... DALLY M

[@taiyonatiare7918]

Freddy won 3/6. You’d think he lost every single one the way ppl go on

[@user-cb5tl5fu3w]

9/18

[@intellectualgladiata]

Please Freddy stay the hell away from the Blues camp. You were borderline an Immortal as a player but things got pretty embarrassing as a coach.

[@maxfish4770]

Madges first mistake

[@Godzilla32]

Can Freddy and Alexander please stay away this year...

[@zoef234]

No thanks

[@topcat1406]

Why, why , why, just butt out Freddy. So many bad decisions he and brandy made in the past. Hopefully NSW has learnt from those previous years.

[@taiyonatiare7918]

He won 3/6 origins he coached. It’s not that bad

[@topcat1406]

@taiyonatiare7918 Definitely not a pass, and that's why he had to be moved on. I'm a rooster supporter and have much respect for him, but not as a coach. Let's hope they get it together and pick players who want to play for NSW and not just for themselves. That's the biggest problem.

[@Wilo_13]

Would you guys stop the hate on Freddy just shutup and keep it too yourself

[@seanbuchanan5402]

Apply that logic to Brad , just shut up and keep your martyrdom to yourself 😂😂😂

[@kylesummers4312]

Or what ?

[@Will-nb8qk]

Not really hate for Freddy but those who keep appointing him to these positions. He had his chance with the absolute cream of the crop and failed. Freddy isn’t a coach and needs to recognise that.

[@maxfish4770]

No

[@taiyonatiare7918]

@@Will-nb8qkwell he won 3/6 origins so he’s not horrendous

[@CJH94]

Sorry but Fittler was almost as bad as Daley and neither of them should talk about coaching. Same with brandy. Their explanations of their decisions over that period were more stupid than the decisions themselves it’s like they were trying to lose lmao

[@Teariki-ManaAreaiiti]

Stay away you had your turn and fail
