Rumours and Stuff

[Gronk]

Must have been the only one who was ok with it being a part time gig

That's what I was thinking.

Freddy walked when they wanted to cut his salary down to 1/3.

Big decision for Daley is who he picks in the halves.

If Cleary/Moses/Luai are fit who does he go with.

Does he stick with the successful combo of Moses/Luai

Go back to Cleary/Luai which has failed at Origin

Or go with Cleary/Moses.

If we do lose Moses for Origin we will only miss him for 1 match before game 1 against Manly at Commbank with DCE also likely to be out.

Which will mean Manly will have to play there backup half as well.

And that may mean potentially the Jake Arthur/Luke Brooks combo will be unleashed onto us.

Surely the footy gods couldn't be so kind.

I can already hear the laughter coming from north of the border over this appointment.

Best of luck Laurie you got a 2nd chance so don't screw it up.

If Mal Meninga can coach Origin anyone can.

If Mal Meninga can coach Origin anyone can.

Yeah Mal really coached that side……….

 

[84 Baby]

Yeah Mal really coached that side……….

I think that was his point

 

[King-Gutho94]

I am sure Laurie would love to have had the side Meninga have.

He could put his feet up and have a cigar while the spine ran the show.

They also come up against some horrid NSW sides some of the garbage we picked from 2008-2015 was borderline disgraceful for a rep side.

That spine had probably 3 future immortals i don’t think any coach had to do much, but different than what Daley has to work with. Madge clearly out coached Slater this year. Can’t see Daley outcoaching a muck sock.

This was LOz's last match. Harsh on him.

 

[hineyrulz]

The sides are pretty even besides the spines, but NSW shat the bed in game 2 they were always getting rolled game 3.

could that be the worst NSW side of all time?

That front row is just mind blowing!

Fergo & Dugan went walkabout in camp.

Mitchell Pearce couldnt win a game in Brisbane to save himself.

Sharon Woods in the front row.

We tossed away the 2nd game of that series when thurston had 1 arm for the whole 2nd half.

Fmd fancy losing to a team with Dylan Napa & Jarrod Wallace in the starting front row coached by Kevin Walters.

Not as bad as 2020 but seriously that QLD team outside of 1,7,9 wasnt that great compared to 2006-2015 period - Munster was on debut as well.

Why does Daley need an adviser? He has coached NSW before..

so the NSWRL has a scapegoat when qld win 3-0 and instead of having to replace Daley, they just replace Bellamy....

Sounds about right
