    Can we just have the womens team play game 3 for us?
    They've shown more in the first 5-10 minutes than the men did in 80

    Great try. Switches hands twice after the break. Quality.

    Well done girls. 2 series wins in 24 hours.

    2 game series feels so wrong.
    Scoring the game winning try and then having to try for a last play miracle must be the most fucked feeling

    The only sane thing to do here is scrap the Men's dead rubber and let the women sort it in a game 3.

    I guess I'll elaborate.

    Slater could replace DCE in the halves with Ponga.

    6. Slater
    7. Ponga

    Walsh keeps producing like Game 2, Ponga wont play Origin again unless there's an injury.

    DCE could go another 2 years I suppose. He's very durable. The rest of our team is young af which is great.

    I'd probably go Slater at 7.
     
  11. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    Mitchell out of Game 3 as well.

    Is there any point in Fittler coaching game 3? Only bad can come of it
     
  13. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    Not really but it wouldnt be fair to expect someone else to come in with no prep.

    I think given how much rugby league has changed from 10 years ago the NSWRL need to go for someone younger and with a better understanding of today's footy. There isnt a single member of the NSW staff who's played in the last 10 years. That needs to change.

    Who's in that category though? Peter Wallace?

    They'll probably think they need to start moving away from Panthers stuff though.

    I think guys like Wallace, Farah, King, Ryles could all be looked at as potential assistant coaches. If they had a few guys like that then I think its fine to pick an older guy like a Meninga type who is simply there to man-manage, motivate and create team spirit.

    Those younger guys need to be selecting the team, because if Freddy and Joey can't get Blues players up for a game, there is something wrong. There seems to be a sense of entitlement and unearnt arrogance amongst this current Blues team.

    I'd be sacking him purely to get away from his selections. You're looking at mass changes anyway, let a new coach in with no pressure before a full series next year

    Tbh i'd pay that. Just fuck him off asap, take an axe to the machine and see what happens. Cant get much worse really.

    Surely Brandy goes with him?

    If I'm NSW, I'm getting Ryles in. He's an assistant at a club that won't have many/any NSW players, but a few from QLD. He has succeeded as an assistant for a while so shows he has half a clue. Realistically NSW just need to select the right squad.

    It's Barrett for me.
