'Hardest thing I've had to do': Brad Fittler on dropping Latrell Mitchell

Do I lie? Does it hurt ! Check your facts, furthermore you have 1 NRL trophy 1 , add to that you were thrown out of the comp lol

What??? Your just a goose Insider , you just dont have a clue!

15 of those where during a time when a tackle count didn’t exist! Your the deluded one

NSW cups are not National Rugby League Premierships

“Insider” this is how deluded you are ‘You carry your 1 premiership like it’s a dynasty’??? WHAT??? Listen here, firstly, the Bunnies have the most premierships of 21 in rugby league, secondly, from 1950 to 1971 the Bunnies (won 9 premierships) while the Dragons won 11, they were the 2 most successful clubs in rugby league history (in those 21 years) and no team in the modern rugby league ear has equaled or can compete to what the Bunnies and Dragons achieved and did! You are so deluded “Insider” that it beggars belief but wait, as we will be getting our 22nd 23rd 24th etc etc this year or in the coming years, for sure lol Go You Bunnies!!!

You carry your 1 premiership like it’s a dynasty Forever in the shadow of a giant chicken

I know the truth hurts, you hurt for 50 years and now carry one premiership like it’s a dynasty Always in the shadow of a giant chicken

Wayno is no leader ( was ) I would have Gagai any day

This is the usual nonsense from you Insider!!!

The usual nonsense from you ‘Insider’! Gagai has the best prospects that he’s ever had at NRL club level at the Bunnies and he still hasn’t produced! Last weeks game against the Panthers, Gagai was again setup by Jimmy the Jet, anyone could have scored that try (in the first 2 minutes) now, if you look at Gagai centre form (which he mostly played for the Bunnies) in club games, he goes missing and any run that he makes is setup by other players, similar to what he always does in SOO, except for his fluky intercepts! One thing that is for sure that Gagai is no Reg Gasnier, Mal Meninga, Steve Rogers or the legend himself ‘Greg Inglis’ in the centres or Ken Irvine, Johnny King, Eric Grothe Blake Ferguson as a winger!

The “ego” is cam smith! His destabilising of the state contributed massively to QLD’s capacity to stay focused, the ego is also behind the vanishing of DCE ( and his side kick JT) so selfish was the ego he couldn’t accept 2 facts 1) DCE would eventually become 7 and Captain of his state 2) that in 2018 the “ego” was so behind a Damien Cook that he couldn’t even find the courage to take him on for the sake of the State side that gave him so much Cam Smith is the architect of NSW series win , not Fred , not chai latte not the earth Good luck for 2019 Your gonna need Devine intervention ( He’s a Queenslander)

How did he win NSW the 2018 Series and what did his ego have to do with it?

And failing at Easts as a coach is almost impossible.

Cam smith won you that series, his ego got in the way and frankly exposed the only weakness in the Qld armour, it took two games yes that you won,Qld regrouped and a side finally free of the biggest ego to ever play the game spanked you, I’ll remind you of your 1 series win and our 10, hope you have 2018 on USB cause you can relive it whenever you want

Except for last year,when he coached the Blues to a series win? Did he lead them,motivate them,teach them and show them how to win? Or did he only rely on what the players could "bring"? I know,you are only as good as your last series win and that also applies to your last game. You think Fitler is the coach because he is part of some club and that CH 9 had some part in it also. I remember Kevin Walters telling anybody who would listen that he desperately wanted the Qld job and the QRL knocked him back,only to begrudgingly give it to him when Paul Green said "No thanks" when they couldn't find any other takers.The success that Walters has had as Qld coach so far has come off the back of the great work done by Mal Meninga and the fact they had some of the best ever players in key positions. Without all of those key players in their prime,Qld were beaten last year by a better coached team. By all means,go back to counting those chickens...…….

Especially in terms of a modern origin coach. I’d say in this scenario it’s a case of trying to convince the players into a sense that it’s not just an exhibition match.

Brads not a coach, never has been! He inherited a super Easts side assembled by a real coach and he destroyed it within 2 years, If NSW are serious about the future of SOO theirs only 2 blokes to run this show Geoff Toovey and Andy Griffin keep all the Ch9 head swells out of it that’s why your so pathetic, Ch9 picks your coach and look at the results

No he is a genius if he can lift his players, Mitchell is the number 1 centre in the world, he can ask his own price and clubs will pay, did you hear the Souths faithful scream last week why doesn’t Gagai play like this for us? I’ll tell you why, NSW is a “club”, a mates “club” Qld is a “footy side” where players come and do things they can’t at their respective clubs! Why so ? The answer lys in your last 12 years of poor decisions, poor selections and poor leadership

Depends what we call coaching. It's a term that is as broad as "player" encompassing a finishing winger or tough middle forward

That's the thing, if Freddy's team wins he's a genius too.
