Brad Fittler has made a triumphant return to the coaching arena, this time leading the prestigious Prime Minister's XIII team in an international showdown against Papua New Guinea on October 13.
This announcement comes on the heels of his departure from the high-pressure role as NSW State of Origin boss, where he had a rollercoaster ride of three series wins and three losses.
The 52-year-old rugby league legend will be at the helm once again, this time guiding the men's squad while Jess Skinner takes charge of the women's team.
The double header at Santos Stadium in Port Moresby promises to kick off the international window with a bang, setting the stage for the Pacific Championships.
Fittler's decision to step away from the NSW coaching job last year raised eyebrows, but with the role being scaled back to part-time, he felt it was time to explore new opportunities.
Despite some recent setbacks in the Origin arena, Fittler remains a respected figure in the rugby league world, with his coaching prowess and strategic insight still highly regarded.
As Fittler gears up for this new challenge, fans and critics alike will be watching closely to see how he navigates the complexities of international competition.
With his wealth of experience and undeniable passion for the game, there's no doubt that Fittler will bring his signature flair and tactical genius to the Prime Minister's XIII team, setting the stage for an exciting chapter in his coaching career.
