Freddy turns to Penrith hero in last-ditch attempt to save Blues job
Source: The Daily Telegraph
It is understood Cleary’s position will only be a game day role as to not disrupt his job at the Panthers. Cleary was in the box with Fittler and Panthers legend Greg Alexander for Game III of the 2023 series. That was the only win for the Blues in the series.If Fittler had led NSW to a series win in 2023, he would have automatically generated an extension, however the 2-1 loss meant the Blues have dropped three of the past four series.
Fittler is the most capped Blues player with 31 appearances. He is currently sitting second behind Phil Gould on the list for games coached for New South Wales. You could write your own ticket after Game II about Fittler coaching the Blues in 2024, but it appears that due to the lack of quality candidates waiting in the wings, ‘Freddy’ will be at the helm next season.
