Now we have to put up with weeks of bullshit stories and innuendo about who our next coach will be and the fact is it’s probably already known and has been for some time.

Remember a few weeks ago Kent and Sloshfield said nobody would coach us after Barrett. Lets see what happens now.
Someone needs to get grabs of all the things they say about us and when it turns out wrong post it. A dedicated facebook page to how much shite they talk and get it wrong. Someone more creative and smarter than me of course.

Influential figures at Canterbury-Bankstown are already leading a push to pursue NSW State of Origin coach Brad Fittler to take over at the Bulldogs for the 2023 season.

There’s still a hell of a lot to play out but Freddy is one of the coaching candidates the Bulldogs are being urged to pursue.


Fittler has won three out of the past four State of Origin series at the helm of the NSW Blues and has the 2022 series set to start on June 8.

There’s no question Fittler would be the ideal candidate but the question will be whether the Blues coach remains interested in a return to being a head coach in the NRL.


Freddy also enjoys an extremely tight relationship with general manager of football Phil Gould dating back three decades to when he debuted with Penrith aged 17 and won premierships with the Panthers in 1991 and Roosters in 2002.

You’ve got to feel for outgoing Bulldogs coach Trent Barrett. Baz was in Port Macquarie at the Settlers Inn Hotel having a beer to commemorate the death of his great mate Shane Millard’s father when the news flashed up on Fox League that he’d most likely coached his last game at Canterbury-Bankstown.


The image of Barrett in a Port Macquarie pub is an insight into the brutal roller-coaster ride of life in the NRL coaching hot seat.

Barrett is attending the funeral of Millard’s father today.

The Bulldogs had set up an emergency meeting for Monday morning and the top of the agenda was Barrett’s position being untenable.


Canterbury-Bankstown are at pains to point out as much as Barrett has resigned from his position as head coach the club will still give him around a $500,000 handshake.

The reason for this is because Canterbury-Bankstown signed Barrett to a three-year deal at the end of the 2020 season and he’s only completed 18 months of his tenure.


In the short term the Bulldogs are expected to put a caretaker coach in with assistant coach David Furner, and Mounties NSW Cup coach Mick Potter both mentioned.

What are your thoughts on who the Bulldogs should pursue as the club’s next head coach?
They can't be serious about Fittler. He failed at the Chooks despite the support of Uncle Nick, his club status and their $$$ so he won't succeed here. If we can't find an experienced interim coach then I'll say give the interim job to Potter for the rest of the year since he has NRL experience and he is a Dogs legend himself.

Flanno is a proven coach with success. Took the sharks to a gf , and his win percentage is great.
That maybe so but who was his halfback?. Unfortunately if you don't want flanno jr for the next 3 or 4 years then don't wish for Flanno snr.

No thanks. Prefer to see flannos face in the coaching box. Less punchable !!
Shit yeah, I would even rather see Gallen in the box and to say he is less punchable than Fiddler is saying a fuking lot.

I don’t think Freddy holds a grudge against us. He’s one of the few commentators who doesn’t sound bitter when he talks about us. I’m not convinced the man can actually coach, though. That origin side coaches itself.

Surely there is a better option.

He did coach Lebanon, and they played really well! But I still can’t see him doing well in the NRL, Flanagan, should be our priority.

As a Chook I admire Freddy and what he did leading our squad.

BUT he was interim coach after Anderson I think....and didn't go well.

Sure he's coach but that's 3 games with a massive squad of talent.

No for Fred....you need a proper club. coach.
