Fittler's career as our coach is now dead, without question. For the remaining Fittler zealots, here's the epitaph:

Brad Fittler involved in drunken hotel room incident

RUGBY league legend Brad Fittler was involved in a drunken incident trying to gain access to the wrong hotel room while half-naked in Queensland early yesterday.

A female occupant phoned police after finding the heavily intoxicated Sydney Roosters coach banging on the door to her room at the Townsville Holiday Inn about 3am.

When police arrived, Fittler, 37, was still outside the woman's room, clad in only a pair of shorts.

Due to his intoxication Fittler had mistaken the 10th-floor room for his own, the Townsville Bulletin reports.

Police said the Roosters coach was found to be "extremely intoxicated".

Roosters chief executive Steve Noyce said he hadn't spoken to Fittler yesterday.

"I had a call a little while ago making me aware that there was an incident," he said.

A club spokeswoman said Mr Noyce would fly to Townsville today and investigate the incident.

The Sydney Roosters are in Townsville to play the North Queensland Cowboys at Dairy Farmers Stadium tonight.

Fittler has enforced a strict alcohol policy, allowing players to drink only the day after a game.

Okay Nick and Noyce, no more time for prevarication. He must go this weekend. If he won't resign, sack him.

[sretsoor]

Sadly I have to agree, this surely has ended his coaching career (if true). Further, any confidence we may beat the Cows tonight, has gone.

Unbelievable. Maybe he was drowning his sorrows at just how bad the Roosters have become.

[Guest]

Leading by example on and off the field. He should resign. If the strict drinking policy is in force, who was he drinking with? That is very poor on his part....

Maybe we are so bad because of him drowning his sorrows!!

Final straw. Alll goodwill now used up. Sack him.

I will only maintain memories of Freddy up to August 2008.

[TheBigFella]

Not exactly the sort of example a coach should be setting!!

[Guest]

no wonderin we havent been winning any games.....

[elo]

FFS Nick, throw whatever Kearney wants to get him.

[Guest]

That will no doubt be the end of freddy for what has been a lacklusture season. So what are people going to do with their new wooden spoons? I make a great spagbol

ROFLOL, Go Freddo.

The alcohol only after games was changed a few months ago from memory, a week or so after Myles and Mason were sat out for breaking it.

I reckon its funny. All in a week we have reports of Mason to Japan, Mini to France, Mason a sumo and now Freddy the 1/2 naked drunken door knocker. All in the tellucrapp, all without quotes, all from leaked "sauces".

Funny Talinea Tuaki (or whatevers his name) gets busted for drink driving, 2 blokes test positive for drugs, but those stories take a backseat to our stories. Will the "2wk" ban thingy be invoked for Tuaki???

Could our season get any lower?

[Guest]

Why would he do this. He went against his own terms and conditions. A coach just does not do that ! Freddy, i know your not that type of person.

[Geohood]

The alcohol ban was removed a while ago...

this is embarrasing though

[Guest]

Of course all those who have never had a drink in their life have come out of the woodwork calling for his sacking.

I've said this about 3 times already; the dust needs to settle first.
