So who’s the next NSW coach?

Please no one affiliated with Penrith in any way.

Someone who knows how to organise a team how to attack. Not like they just met at a Yoga Class.

Must appreciate shoes.

Must not use Chocolate wheels at the selection table.

Must know what positions players play in. More importantly must know what positions players can’t play in.

Must not listen to Phil Gould.

Has shown to be capable to implement a winning game plan in matches preferred.

Intelligent enough to have a Plan B and able to make meaningful halftime adjustments that work. (I know a f**king unicorn want but hey they will be up against the great Billy Slater coaching the other team.)

Must not dress like a character from Miami Vice.

Fittler and Brandy are f**king idiots.

before game 1 - two hookers doesn’t work
Before game 2 - we need 2 hookers. Centre gets injured so they pick a f**king hooker in the centres.

That bloke from the tigers is the 3rd best prop we have in NSW? Piss off. “Oh Freddy coached him in the 16s”. WHO GIVES A f**k. Same with “Freddy coaches Moses for Lebanon”…. FMFFJJ

Watch these idiots drop Luai and pick Nicho at 6 for game 3.

NSW just woeful again. Fitler well and truly out of his depth.
Strange selections, cowardly selections, no obvious style, terrible (or zero) in-game reactions, terrible use of rotations…..
They played like the Sharks do against good teams - still tried to sling it wide and go around them, with zero craft in the middle of the pitch….
Some players in that NSW team are very good NRL players (in very good NRL teams with great structures), but don’t translate to origin. Yeo is the greatest example - it just doesn’t work in Origin, and he’s far too nice. Haas is awesome, but he’s not an enforcer, he doesn’t have them scared for their safety - Haas needs to be supported by a couple of meat head middles who have QLD worried - instead he’s got the lovely fella Yeo who’d not say boo to a goose, big Stefano who’s just meh, and plodder Paulo.
The big thing is efforts off the ball - Chrichton break - entire QLD team got back onside to defend, NSW didnt have anywhere near the same attackers. The Hammer lucky bounce try - Haas is the only Blue who’s chased back, all the others stopped chasing back once the break was made (could be seen on the replay players just trotting back).
Filters first season, he made a big thing about picking ‘on form’, but he’s fallen for the same trick that Daley fell for, falling in love with certain players, far too much focus on both ‘club connections’ and ‘incumbency’, rather than just picking the players who can get the job done, in the style you want to play.
Just shit, really really shit, all round.

Whats the point of playing the 3rd game, i won't be watching. how is channel 9 going to promote it. There will be a lot of free tickets around, anyway serves them right for playing a game in a state not interested in Rugby league at all.

My friend was in Adelaide at the time and bought tickets early and then they were giving them away in the last week.

Jerome Luai just called all NSW idiots on Instagram hahahaha.

Anyone ever seen a QLDer do that after a loss?

So cool.

Quality human being.
Hopefully the last thing we remember of him in a sky blue jersey is being given his marching orders.

Exactly. Perfect example of a player who rides on the coat tails of others. Piss him off and if Cleary doesn't like it, he can go too.

Fittler is useless. Joey as attack coach. Having a laugh. NSW had no idea with the ball. What does old Joey do with them, apart from ringing Gids?

Slater by contrast knows exactly what he is working towards.

Nah he’s a walk up start, just ask him. He will apologise and all will be fine. Seems to have worked for him with multiple incidents in the last few years.
Just turn the boom box up to 11 and hope for the best.
Can’t believe that joker is Samoan. Talk about discrediting your own culture.
