NRL coaches?

Already established club, not team. TBH, Freddy pulled us out of mega slumps that Ricky and Anderson left us in.

I have no problem with you putting Freddy so far down if it is due to inexperience but to then go and put just as inexperienced Taylor & Carty is ridiculous when they have had no more honorable achievements in coaching then Freddy. You say 2008 was a learning curve for Taylor? I don't see how the same can't be said for Fittler, he worked just as hard to pull a deplorable Roosters outfit out of slumps and bad attitudes, having players like Anasta, Mason, O'Meley and Myles who were used to playing like shit and then walking into rep treams into what they are now (Besides Mason, who will never be anything other than useless) respectable, hard workers, espescially Anasta who was once rated Most overated for what? three years running? into (After working with Freddy relentlessly) one of the top 5/8ths running around at club-level. The atmosphere at our club dropped after Freddy retired as a player and we resorted to buying players even more than what we already did or what was required. When he came back, so did the respect IMO, Roosters will always be one of the most hated, but we have always demanded respect with results and that was returned with Freddy's first full season as a coach where despite losing form at the back end of the season we still gained a position in the top 4.

You say Cartwright would have guaranteed The Titans a finals position if it wasn't for injuries? So he should have FFS, I'm not taking anything away from Carty but any muppet could have coached a team with Matt Rogers, Scott Prince, Anthony Laffranchi, Preston Campbell, Luke Bailey and Mark Minichiello to a finals birth. Despite the team he still had, he was well and truly out of the 8, in 13th, after if you recall, blistering form at the start of the year, even with the injuries they still should have been able to gain a respectable position.

When Taylor went to Souths, so did Russell Crowe and Peter Holmes a Court and an influx of rep standard players, yet Souths till found their way to 14th on the ladder.

Learning curve? Inexperienced? Whether Freddy can turn us around this year and give Mason a kick up the arse will be a big ask.

But thus far in terms of full seasons, results speak for themselves.

 

Stuart is a shit coach.

 

I love the photos of him in the papers where his eyes and nose take up like 1/10th of his face's area.

 

I had a few beers when I wrote that, I was in one of those moments where you're just writing to make it longer than their post. I really couldn't care less where people put Freddy.
