I thought Stuart would have been good for NSW but the guy is a dead set knob. I get the whole Dugan instead of hayne at fullback but for him not to have chosen Hayne or Farah, then included King shows the guy has lost the plot.
I think if Stuart picked in game 1: Dugan, Hayne, Jennings, Gas, Uate, Soward, Mullen/Pearce, Mannah, Farah, Snowden, Bird, Scott, Gallen; Ennis, Creigh, Toleman, Galloway then NSW win. King and Snowden got killed up front and our only attack came from the edges rather then from the halves. Farah and Hayne are two genuine game winners and were left out for Morris and Young, two guys who had absolute shockers and should never have been considered tbh.
Now Stuart bring in Mini which is insane, Hoppa in the centres which is even more insane. It would have been better to play someone like Lewis or Creigh in the centres and play Hayne or Gids at fullback. These guys are professionals they change their style week in week out for different reasons. Thurston, Lockyer, Smith and Slater have all adjusted their games to fit together in origin and Hayne or Gids could do the same considering both are the most experienced players in the blues and have experience at fullback in the past. Mini is well past it and will be found out wednesday night
