Brad Fittler’s close friend Greg Alexander will step aside from a key role in the Blues set-up as the NSW coach fronts state powerbrokers to fight for a 12-month extension.
NSW Blues selection advisor Greg Alexander has stepped down from his role as Brad Fittler fronts the NSWRL board to pitch for a 12-month extension as coach.
Fittler’s great mate and Panthers premiership-winning teammate announced his decision on Friday morning, before Fittler meets with NSW hierarchy later in the day. “It’s a big commitment. Freddy wants to continue and I certainly wish him well ... When Freddy asked me if I wanted to go again and you hesitate, it’s not a job you hesitate on.”
“It is what it is, I love it, it’s fantastic. It’s a shame [the scrutiny] affects people around you, but that’s life. That’s part of taking the job. The family is supportive, which is great. I love it, I love everything about it.”Alexander’s exit points to the predicted shake-up of Fittler’s coaching staff after two consecutive series losses since Billy Slater took charge of Queensland.
