Quote: sally cinnamon "Fittlers problem was that he took over at a time when the Roosters had nothing in their ranks. If he'd have retired at the end of the 2002 Grand Final and taken over for 2003, he would have had a few good years as a coach.'"
For the down fall of Fittler as a coach see Paul Cullen, Fittler is too much of a mate to the players and falls into the same traps as them, there is a fine line between mates and coach and often the coaches that fail get on the wrong side of this line.
Faz does not come across as someone who would get on the wrong side of this equation.
