Said before the series started Daley should of just picked Bird, Maloney, Townsend, Prior, Ennis , Fifita, Lewis, Graham and Gallen and build the team around them.

After the way Walker played against the Panthers,Daley obviously had no choice but to keep him on board.

Dammed if he did,dammed if he didn't.

And how is he going to use walker? At 5/8 where he played well the other day? Bringing him on for 9 mins where he wandered around looking lost is about all I can see him doing. It's a stupid selection and the fact that he scored a couple of tries against a team with shithouse defence doesn't change that.

Picking Walker on the bench would be like QLD picking Dane Gagai on the bench, it makes no fcking sense and takes away a guy like Cartwright or Bird who could come on and actually have an impact.

Can the majority of us here agree that James Tedesco is NSW best player?

I certainly think that, based on his remarkable form over the past 18 months, he is hands down NSW best player atm.

So, as Blues fans we get to sit back and watch us get beat knowing that our best player hasn't even been f**king picked.

Outstanding, Lozza & Bozo. Simply outstanding.

Best player now, not even just best fullback anymore.

I guess I'm in your minority. I don't know who is the best player eligible to play for NSW, over the past 18 months. It would take a lot of thought. Comparing fullbacks to halves to front rowers is difficult at the best of times. But I'd have thought he would come from a club that won a rather higher percentage of games than the Wests Tigers.

Anyway, the NSW selectors clearly do not agree with you either. Now are you going to get behind the side that has been chosen or what?

Yes, Loz and Bozo - the geniuses behind the selection of Dylan 7 minutes Walker - are clearly the experts in team selection.

I wouldn't use the "the selectors clearly know better than you" argument when it comes to Laurie and Bob "Buhrer" Fulton.

It should be noted that you are a one-eyed Panthers fan.

I didn't say they know better than anyone. I said they are the selectors and they have chosen their side and that's that.

And what does supporting Penrith have to do with it? I'm very much in favour of sticking to your side wherever possible, not flying into blind panic after one close game. If Tedesco had been the fullback in game 1 I'd support his retention too.

Can't wait to see NSW get f**king smashed. Best player by far not even picked, what an effing joke. You can not make a better case for selection then Teddy, absolutely dudded of the highest order

Atleast we'll have him running around for the Tigs, good news

QLD 50-6

While NSW supporters crap on about insignificant individual selections, this time the non-Tedesco and Walker, QLD sit back in camp pleased that Gal, Robbie and G-Bird will be on the park doing what they always do - padding their stats for their own benefit and no effective contribution to the Blues overall game. Two hit up a set Gal, run across the field from acting half Robbie, and jinking stepping get dominantly tackled Bird make it all so easy for QLD to get a result in these series. They know the rest of the NSW team will be ineffectual when these guys get regularly involved. These players don't make other players play well so it doesn't matter who else is selected. They don't let them.

Congratulations QLD.

They also left out the best centre in NSW.

I'm not mad on Walker but he did show what he could do against us yesterday. However, I think Daley has retained him (and Moylan as well for that matter) because he wants to build up cohesion in the squad, and I applaud him for that. He would not have been my choice as bench utility though.

Out of all the utilities why the fcking f**k was he even picked there in the first place?

Bird, Peacey, Cartwright and Reynolds were miles Infront of him before game 1

Bozo and Daley are as cooked as they come. Must be on some good drugs

Settle down. I think you have gone a little over board on that score prediction.

I mean do you seriously think NSW will score 6 points?

Considering it's the same brain dead team selected as game 1, and it's up there I wouldn't be surprised if we were kept to a big fat donut on the score line
