SOO: Interesting Riccio article

[Frenzy.]

I don't care about the risk of injury or any other reasons to hate SOO. It does good things for players and teams.

Fact is if you are building for a premiership you need players in rep teams who can pick the brains and learn from the best which becomes an adjunct pathway to learning and development. You have to have confidence that your NMU system will compensate for losses.

The players also deserve to get the chance to play top flight rep football. It's a goal of probably most players.

It’s also 30k a game

You must know Qld have already won. We lost the second Maguire was appointed .

Who would you have appointed? Trent Robinson?

I think NSW will go close IF Maguire sticks to his words and selects the side on form and de-Pantherises the side. At least split Clearasil and Looeye up. That just doesn't work in SOO

He's apparently looking for "character over talent".
I don't think that means good blokes, I think it's more about guys willing to roll the sleeves up and rip in when the going gets tough.

Smart move, if that's what it is.
The Blues have historically picked "better" players with nary a second thought for whether they're willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done.

And if I hear any more about "picking combinations" I'll spew.
It's that level of thinking that's seen NSW win only 6 series in the last 20 years.

I am not a fan of SOO there is another benefit to it, you get players into squad example Hynes and Brailey both long term shark contracts, they start chatting to other players the positive club we have.
We use Gall this way to help recruit

McInnes would almost have to be a walk up start on picking the side on character

I thought we had some chance when Fittler was gone

Would be great off the bench.
He could play any of the forward roles, including hooker…

I have him as a near certainty. He was with Madge at Souths 2014-16. Madge knows what he's going to get from McOrigin.

I reckon Mitch Barnett could be a bolter too - I said weeks ago that both him and Nathan Brown were playing really good footy (Brown is nowhere near Origin just for the record), but Barnett strikes me as a Madge type player.
He loves the tough stuff, is knocking out good performances and is also tough as teak - he’s got a bit of crazy in him, but he doesn’t seem to really overstep the mark that often. He’d be a top contender to partner Haas for me.

He's a snorkel I wanted the Sharks to chase. He's cut snake mad.

Peter Sterling, Geoff Toovey, Brandy Alexander, Blocker Roach or someone living on the street in a third world country before Maguire. Did you not see how the Tigers performed under him?

Poor analogy. Did you see the Tigers perform Michael Potter, Jason Taylor, Andrew Webster, Ivan Cleary, Brett Kimmorley, Ben Gardiner and Tim Sheens?

The Tigers have been pharqued because they are the Tigers.

BTW every one of those crumbly old farts are far too removed from the contemporary game to manage coaching a SOO side. At least 3 of them are demented. Alexander? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Quigs]

Morons throw the ball around, the Blues use the bash and barge.

Will the match plans change this year, who knows.

 

[txta2]

Chads gonna put his hand up for the number 6 for sure.

OK. Well. Benji Marshall has got them playing well.

I've been watching SOO almost since it's inception and NSW only ever win if they have far far far superior team and even then they sometimes lose. With Maguire at the helm it's over. I've got about as much respect for him as the ant I just stepped on.
