It's all Ancient History now, but I still wonder if the last quarter of Game II that year was an opportunity missed by the NSW captain (Cordner)...
Yes, he also suffered the indignity of being switched to the opposite wing midway through the 2nd half.
Prob. Rex Wright, NSW hooker for Game 1 '84. Straight in from NSW Country I think. After getting skunked 29-12 by QLD, I recall Vautin claiming...
Have to dolefully agree ... the breaks usually go with the side making the running and all too often that was not us.
Yes ... and unlike last year, this year's opponent has a near-new lineup, no Pearce/Woods etc. baggage, a coach with some clear idea, and...
Noel Cleal ... Anyway, I thought the real reason was a certain Wally Fullerton-Smith.
You could go back to the end of the War and there was a fairly steady stream of NSW greats, from Summons, Holman, (Billy) Smith, Fulton,...
I'm no part of a team builder, psychologist or suchlike, but I think it a reasonable expectation that a bunch of (well-paid) pros work together...
NSW would have had it back this year with a little more discipline. Well no, but we were getting noisily impatient - it's since come to light...
Thus was the Empress Dowager Cixi reported to have said as she and her court evacuated Beijing under Gen. Pershing's artillery assault during the...
So what would it take ... - a catastrophic (for NSW) 20-point-or-so- loss with a couple of Pearce cockups leading to QLD tries ? - the nuclear...

Well we did keep turning up at Lang Park during the Bad Old Days ... Today - with all the success and expectations set accordingly - well, I...
Haven't laced on a boot myself - so what would I know - but I'm not so sure. After all this was the case during the '90s yet NSW tended to...
That's asking a heck of a lot from someone who's repeatedly - and publicly - nailed his colours to the Pearce mast. One might say anyone would be...
I'd be happy if someone just tossed that ground announcer/urger/cheerleader under a bus - I swear nearly every time he does his shtick Something...
Hah ... remember the '95 series. Was so certain we had absolutely no chance so I didn't even bother to watch Game 1. Just went for a looong walk...
I guess that leads to the rather larger question of just how it has come to this for NSW - up to and including Joey, there was pretty much a queue...
Wonder if there's some level of dark muttering in the NSW dressingroom about this, especially where there have been many others go out the...
Okay guys, let's cut to the chase. If the price to cashier Pearce is another series loss, would you be prepared to pay it?
