Do the bookies know something the rest of us don't?

I doubt it. Just weight of money on NSW because Smith/Cronk/Slater/Thurston are all gone.

But punters are overestimating that factor IMO. NSW have 11 debutants, some of them very young. It could all go horribly wrong easily enough.

What would bookies know about how sports anyway, there is no sporting knowledge required to become one you just need some strong mathematical skills.

Any NSW coach should do better vs

Smith, Cronk, Thurston, Slater (With Pearce)
or
McCullough. Possibly Hunt maybe Milford, Munster, Morgan(No Pearce)

Yes of course. Freddy gets it a lot easier obviously in terms of who the opposition is.

But even so I think Freddy is better suited to it. He will keep it simple and confident and will probably have some very good help.

When reading through the program yesterday there was an article about Fittler and how he is approaching his coaching of the NSW side. The people close to him believe that he will thrive with all these young blokes in the team as he works best with young players. Whilst he looks like a goof on tv what Fittler brings coaching wise is an enormous amount of self confidence and the belief to back yourself whoever you are. He also brought a great team environment and culture which was massive in Lebanon's world cup success last year.

So Blues fans, how moist are you all at the thought of having Latrell Mitchell to cheer for in your team?

I am a little to be honest.

There's a new movie out today for anyone who'd interesting.

Its called: The assassination of QLD by the Coward Cameron Smith. Should be a good time.
