Relax. The article says two-fifths of bugger all. He clearly states that whilst he’s commentating and coaching Origin he’s not going to do anything else and why would he? To lose the Origin job NSW will have to get done 3-0 and even then it’s unlikely this year.
Possible smokescreen but unlikely in my view.
Think it’s just Freddy playing the media - he’s one of them too and knows how it works.
We already let the fox into the hen house with Hasler and we’ve all seen how long it’s taken to dig out of that mess, compounded by more mistakes eg: Barrett. I can’t see the board being blind to these realities, they know how critical the next head coach appointment is and it’s why they’re not rushing. It took JK a couple of attempts to get Gus, the same thing could be happening here, a dark horse that takes some prying.
