If our best backrowers are Frizzell and Young, we never stood a chance.

Obviously Fitter and Alexander have failed.

Let the search begin.

Des with Cartwright, Ryles and Fitz.

If you are keen enough or stoopid enough to watch a replay of the game just watch how Munster directs the team around. Setting the deep backline for attack, telling blokes to get out of the far can way. Deep sweeping back line moves from their own side of halfway even.

Compare that to the shit flat so called attack from the Blues..... with the bouncing bobbing Teddy jumping in when ever he could. No one had a clue.

Got to feel sorry for Cook and even glad for Nicho.

Did someone mention that the Blues had an attacking coach ..... yeah right.

You have a choice.

Your centre goes down.

Put on bloke who spent his career in the middle, Cook.

Or the bloke used to an edge in Murray.

I feel for Cook and well played QLD for targetting him. Poor Cook.

Kind of glad they dropped Blayke like a bad sack of potatoes, Preferred Robson, who's service was poor, might have had to play centre.

So in his time has coach Fittler has dropped

Nico - blame him for the loss
TPJ - the guy was set up to fail
Regan Campbell - because he dosent get on with couple of Panther players.

That game last night, when Fittler said go on in centre prob thought that's early but into hooker.
Then Fittler said I want you out in centres, Cook probably thought FFS he has no idea.

NSW actually looked better in attack when Teddy dosent touch the ball.

Latrell was smart not playing he could see the writing on the wall.

Picking players who couldn't train.

I don't want any shark players in the 3rd game

Tedesco got in the way and hampered the attack. He is losing his legs and is no longer useful at the level.

NSW forwards don't run together. One out stuff. Young and Frizell aren't going to break the line. Yeo as a link doesn't work. Need speed and power at 13.

Talakai was another scapegoat.

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.
Stefano Utoikamanu got 12mins game time.

And I thought the theory was you look to your bench for an injection of energy or provide something different to the starting side or be versatile for possible injuries.

What the f**k does Utoikamanu provide using him for 12mins of a SOO Game?

And no he isn’t the 3rd best prop.

Any one of Spencer Leniu , Saifiti or Tevita Tatola are in front of him and could’ve definitely changed things up.

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.
The other worrying thing is Slater will be even better next year. The team will be even better drilled for what he wants and the style of play he wants.

Whoever NSW appoint he has to be experienced.

A rookie option will be a lamb to the slaughter against Slater.

Looking forward to a frosty review of Origin 2 with Brandy on NRL 360. They usually get him on after Origin. Brandy is rather prickly after a defeat. This one could be a belter. Especially when they inevitably ask him if Fittler will be looking to keep his job for next year.

Very prickly for someone involved who has lost 3 of the past 4 series. They got luck when Mitchell, Turbo and Tedesco were fit and firing. Hasn't happened since and they have no answers

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.

One would hope not.
We’ve lost two of the three series he’s been involved in.
The attack this year has been nothing short of diabolical. And that must surely reflect heavily on the halves.

On top of that, you see the kind of posts he puts on Instagram like last night, walking around too cool for school with his boombox, mouthing off whenever he gets a chance land generally giving off an attitude of “I’m sweet, I can just sit back and count my pay check”. I’m sure that permeates through the rest of the playing group.

I believe he and his ilk are an absolute cancer on the squad.

You don’t see the maroons going around showboating at every opportunity. To a man they all know they’re there to work their guts out for the greater cause.

That was NSW last night? I thought for sure I was watching Cronulla. Played like and were coached like it.

After blooding Sifa last year and although not his greatest game, to me he would of not looked out of place on the bench last night with the ability to cover both forwards & centre his form this year has been pretty good.

Too many islanders in the team!

1. If Fittler really told the truth when he claimed that he told Cook pre-game that he might have to play centre, he should've selected centres without injury clouds over their heads. Mitchell was never going to be ready in time and Turbo is broken.

2. The real problem is the useless of Luai. He offers nothing and can't kick. Perhaps it's time to turn to the logical man next in line who was even called into Origin camp last year: THE CHAD! https://www.nswrl.com.au/news/2022/07/09/im-nsw-through-and-through-townsend-on-origin-call-up/

Three Sharks players: Tonegato, Penitani and Dodd. Anderson no.19.
