Laurie blamed Farah for the loss last year and is thinking about using Pearce as hooker.

Gotta love sound thinking.

Just goes to show how poor a coach Laurie is. Farah should be the first picked. I think NSW problem is a lack of quality in the halves. You have to also question the effectiveness of the so called made for origin players like Ennis, Bird and Gallen they all have never won a series.

I dont think it's lack of quality in the halves, it's poor selection, not only Pearce but dropping Todd Carney last year was ridiculous, he is NsW best half by far. Guys like Mullen seem to have been thrown onto the 'do not use' pile for no reason. And if we want to take a chance on a youngster, look at Sezer, Kelly or Reynolds.

In conclusion, dumb coaching and selection is the issue.

Gee-up SURELY?? Farah should be an automatic selection.
Nope.

"Most of the criticism of the NSW performance has been directed at the key playmakers - half-back Mitchell Pearce, hooker Robbie Farah and five-eighth James Maloney."

"Farah has been accused of overplaying his hand by attempting a 40:20 kick three minutes from full time and a cross-field kick that went into touch on the final play of the game."

If rather see Farah attempt a clutch 40/20 than Pearce kick it straight down Slaters throat..

Why did you add quotation marks to these comments? Was it to make it look like Daley actually said these things?

Because nowhere in that story is a quote from Daley blaming Robbie Farah.

Your other piece of evidence is a post from an LU member that starts off with "word around the traps is"

Ever considered a job with News Ltd?

Quotation marks because they were quotes from the article.

Well if Farah today is anything to go by he won't be there this year on form. He was hopeless today. Woods too. Both really need to step up if they're to be picked again.

Our list of decent hookers is even shorter than our list of halfbacks unfortunately

Besides, form is temporary. Class is forever and Farah has always been a classy player

Farah at his best can go toe to toe with Cam Smith. Someone like Michael Ennis would never be able to.

It's hilarious that I and the rest of the Tigers fans were ropeable that Farah wasn't selected in the past and now that I think he might be past it I'm wrong on that count too...

Farah is the only one you have that even has a chance of playing well against Cameron Smith! Wouldn't blame Farah playing for the Tigers who are ordinary to put it nicely. Very hard for a hooker when your pack is smashed!
