QLD will probably win again next year with Fittler soon to be announced.

We need to get Billy out of Queensland and back to clubland. Would be the perfect coach for us.

He outsmarted a simpleton, probably not the best gauge of coaching ability TBH.
Ciraldo's a simpleton, so even if that was all he'd done, he'd still be an upgrade.

There's a lot more to Billy than outsmarting a simpleton, though. You can tell by the way he talks about the game and coaching that he knows what he's doing.

When you're coaching the elite players in the game. Give him a shithouse NRL squad to whip into shape and then see how he fares.

Lol, the way he talks about tactics and strategies has nothing to do with the players he is coaching.....he is always making astute observations about club footy, too. Anyone who works closely with him will tell you he'd one of the best up and coming coaches in the game. Come on, fam. Ciraldo is awful.

I'm not comparing him to Ciraldo, I'm saying I'd hold judgement on Slater until his resume is a bit more extensive than coaching 9 games or whatever it is.

They've all gotta start somewhere. I'd rather someone with fresh ideas than a systems merchant who wants to turn as into a bargain basement version of another team.
