Just 40 days after Manly's premiership win, the club sensationally dismissed head coach Des Hasler after he was revealed to have breached his contract by trying to lure coaching staff and players to the Bulldogs where he would have started coaching in 2013.

After making his test debut in the 26-6 first test win against New Zealand at the Queen Elizabeth II Park in Christchurch and playing in the 8-0 second test win at Rotorua, Alexander lost his place in the side with coach Bob Fulton preferring his 1987 premiership winning halfback from Manly-Warringah, Des Hasler, in the position for the third and final test.

At the end of the season he was selected for his second Kangaroo Tour as the back up fullback to Gary Belcher and went on to be selected for every game on tour, although unlike Terry Lamb who played in every game on the 1986 tour, Alexander, along with the Kangaroo's other replacements that day ( David Gillespie, Des Hasler and Mark Sargent ), didn't get off the bench in the 14-10 second test win against Great Britain at Old Trafford that kept The Ashes series alive.

Manly coach Des Hasler used a number of forwards at five-eighth in subsequent games, but with very little success, and Witt was drafted back into the side for the semi final against Parramatta.

With Witt's two match suspension ruling him ineligible in Manly's two NRL-sanctioned pre-season trial matches for 2006, unproven rookie Travis Burns was able to take advantage of his absence and was preferred by coach Des Hasler as Manly's regular five-eighth for the season ( despite Witt being the incumbent in that position at the end of 2005 ), and Witt was given only one start in first grade for the year against Newcastle in Round 17 ( following Burns ' suspension for one week ).

Following retirement from professional football, he developed a career in the media, initially on BBC Radio 5 Live and as a football pundit before replacing Des Lynam as the BBC's anchorman for football coverage, including their flagship football television programme Match of the Day, and as a team captain on the acerbic sports game show, They Think It's All Over from 1995 to 2003, where he was heavily ( though affectionately ) ridiculed for being a " goal hanger ", described as " lethal from twelve inches " – a parody of Lineker's short-range scoring prowess.
