Challenge very much accepted.
Replace 'Game I or the first half of Game II' with 'Round 1 to 10' and 'Daley' with 'McGregor' and you'll see the error in your post.
Daley is very much McGregor. His selections are stupidly inconsistent, revolving around 'players who've been there before' (and lost) and some intangible and ridiculous quality known as 'being an origin player' rather than fielding a team based on appropriate skillset and ability to play. He over-manufactured a game plan for Game 1, yet when QLD found a counter part way between Game 2 he had no plan B. And that game plan was dependant on field position, limiting mistakes and defence. Sound familiar yet?
By comparison, Walters saw sever weaknesses in Game 1 and dropped a large portion of his side for fresh blood. He was lucky to get away with Game 2, jagging the win on the back of player brilliance in the same way that Daley managed game 1 on the back fo Fifita domination. Come game 3, and Walters developed a game plan to wipe NSW off the park. The way QLD shifted the ball early in the game, used angles and set plays early in the set and in their own half to get around NSW superior forward pack was pure strategy (granted, it's handy having the Smith and Cronk's of the world to execute that). And my personal favourite, while everyone else was arguing whether Morgan or DCE should start at 5/8, he selected a rookie who turned out to be best on field!
Those are what makes Walters superior and Daley poor. Walters had a plan B. Walters developed a game plan to beat NSW, rather than running with the same old and aiming to not lose. And Walters backed skill and ability over incumbency and experience.
