NSW Blues<\/a> great Andrew Johns<\/a> has shut down any talk of him replacing Brad Fittler<\/a> as coach after the state's second straight series loss.<\/p>\n

The rugby league Immortal has been suggested by some as a possible replacement to Fittler who is uncontracted after game three.<\/p>\n

Speaking two days after the 32-6 loss in Origin II, Johns was blunt in his answer about any aspirations. \ufeff<\/p>\n

\ufeff"No," he told 2GB's Wide World of Sports Radio.<\/p>\n

"And in respect of Freddy who's a great mate of mine, he's still got another game to coach, nothing's been spoken about, whether he's going to go on or not.<\/p>\n

"There'll be people on the NSWRL board with that decision but for me personally I'd never do it and I don't want to comment because it's my great mate Freddy and he deserves respect.<\/p>\n

"He's done a great job, people will jump up and down about it but I love the bloke, he's done a great job, and I wouldn't disrespect him."<\/p>\n

Johns – one of the Blues best former players and now passionate supporter – also reflected on the series loss, revealing his disappointment.<\/p>\n

"\ufeffA lot's been said … Queensland were out of this world, they played really well," he said.<\/p>\n

"Reece Walsh, the superstar he is, he just showed what a player he is.<\/p>\n

Johns went on to pinpoint the main area of concern from the side. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"At the end of the day, the sad bit is they beat us in the effort errors and I think the big one for me that stood out was when Stephen Crichton got an intercept and they had half a dozen guys behind the ball," he said.<\/p>\n

"We had hardly anyone supporting which was so disappointing but we'll move on. We've got to win game three that's the thing … we've just got to win, whatever it takes."<\/p>\n
