Intense coaches who only have the one trick in their bag have short spans unless you have 50 support staff if diverse personalities like Bellamy has in Melb.
Hoping the review exposes the reality that support staff are vital to getting the wins on the boards.
The coach creates the winning feeling by connecting to his Team.
Sorry Tad but poor mental attitude is something a coach should be able to rectify - that is where Brad fails mate.
Freddy gets his lads up for the game with a great mental attitude.
That said I commented earlier that I do not think Freddy is a club coach for the week to week grind.
I have always liked Fittler as a coach for rep teams, I do not think he is a club coach for the week in, week out grind.
Just my opinion.
His stint at the Rorters was not all that successful but his stints with City, Lebanon and SOO have been very good.
PLUS between him and the crack head they have introduced some great talent from the South Pacific Islands, particularly Fiji.
Fittler is much like Meninga in many ways - big game specialist coach who has the ability to galvanise a team in short periods of time.
Only thing I do not like about his coaching is the propensity to have dumb forwards smashing into the hardest part of the defensive line and NOT make ground.
When the team played a more expansive style they go good.
Picking Klemmer is his major mistake, but no one is perfect.
Short sharp stints
Not ideal for nrl
i once heard Sterlo give an interview about paul vautin saying there were 2 sides to him. Fatty who played the arse on the footy show and Paul, who was very serious about his rugby league and and very deep thinker of the game. Perhaps Fittler is the same. Freddy being the "space cadet" as PT says but underlying that Brad himself obviously was one of the best to play the game and takes a serous side to serious matters
