Brad Fittler 1992

In his early years and well before he was a coach, here is a 1992 shot of Brad Fittler during his years at the Penrith Panthers.

Under coach Phil Gould, the Panthers had won the premiership in 1991 and were naturally hotshots moving into the following year.

Now in 2007 we see Brad Fittler coaching the Sydney Roosters after taking over from Chris Anderson. Freddy getting his first up win in his first game - against former coach Ricky Stuart and the Cronulla Sharks.

Player 1: Tawerat Nikau (20 Years Old)
A player that would go on to represent New Zealand and win an NRL premiership with the Melbourne Storm in 1999.

A blazingly fast winger, Nissen went on to represent Canterbury on many occasions and giving them plenty of points.

Player 3: Robin Thorne (21 Years Old)
The Redcliffe product spent some time at the Bulldogs without really making a massive impact.

Player 4: Max Semrani (21 Years Old)
