Freddy really knows how to bring a state together and gather their full support.
I sense a good old fashioned ambush.

Problem is, not many people buy into him as a person.

He lost me at meditation, sandals and not picking the form players.

On a serious note, who’s an ex NSW player who did something in the game that could coach this side? Ryles? Barrett could be alrigh coaching three games a year…

IDK, pick anyone who’ll actually make tough or otherwise correct decisions.

Last point I'll give you, as I thionkl thaty veryt vaild.

The prior 2? So what? Lots of players do meditation, yoga and the like so that is a ridiculous point. As to sandals, ooh, that's why they lost?! We won't mention the players who get around wearing things then :rolleyes: NSW lost the series because of meditation and sandals - that'll do me.

It was very much tongue in cheek.

Ah yes. Freddy with the master stroke once again. Teddy over Edwards. Bradman best into the centres over cook. Gutherson on the bench. Not even super coach can compete with Freddy's IQ. Genuis!

I honestly think Dylan Edwards can play well on the wing for nsw. He's basically the white version of To'o. He has the same work-rate and never makes an error and a very good defensive player.

As a blues supporter that would be devastating.

As a Dragons supporter it would be hilarious. All y’all motherf**kers can finally experience our pain.

I think most of the neutral supporters felt the impact of Mary. It was a horror movie where real people got hurt

Given Best is probably playing his only origin, hopefully he realises the moment and uses it to go down in folklore by taking someone’s head off.

muenster is possible, but I’m not picky

It's the perfect crime because if he only gets binned no one could possibly take his f**king square Minecraft Steve head off in retaliation

Really shouldn't be that hard.

Pick a style you want the side to play, pick players to play that way.

changing from game to game isn't working

You would have to say that Matty Johns was completely on the money with what he said in the blow up with Joey. NSW don't know what style of game they want to play and hence do not get the selections right.

100%

Like I'm obviously never going to be an Origin coach but I think the perfect style for Origin is the Panthers defence and Parramatta's power game. And you can do that in Origin because unlike club teams with a salary cap, you don't have to pick standard NRL players to balance that.

So you can have a front row rotation of RCG, Haas, Paulo and I dunno someone like Leniu or someone like Murray or Matterson who can play middle or edge. They're no slouches in defence either but hey, no salary cap, so you have have Yeo and Murray/Trbojevic to do the tackling anyway.

Freddy almost picks an Origin team like he has a salary cap. "Shit I've spent my dollars, better pick up some bargains. How about Beat and Utoikamanu?"
