Meh.
The reality is that most outraged merkins on here would struggle to come up with anything more successful.
I'll also put this on record.
I don't think I've read anything on here in the last 13 years (as a couple of different posters) that would lead me to believe that there is anyone who posts on here that knows more about rugby league than either Laurie Daley or Bob Fulton. If you think you know better then you are kidding yourself.
Do you think Farah is a good selection over Ennis, for example?
Similarly aged, but Farah offered little in game I, and is coming off the bench for the Tigers - while Ennis is playing a major role in the Sharks' impressive run.
Daley claims loyalty, yet drops a proven perforner for no other reason than "looking to the future".
He then selects an old, insipid Greg Bird because he's "Origin tough".
The same clowns keep making the same blunders, and then wonder why we lose every year; their selection process is clearly not working - Queensland were awful in game I and still won.
I gather that it doesn't bother you much at all, and that's fine - but for me, crowing about loyalty and mateship and then dropping someone who doesn't deserve to be dropped (and is in terrific form) and selecting a plodder like Bird in his stead is the height of idiocy.
Daley has made one monumental mistake above all others imo - he's looking to the future.
Well, NSW has been a joke for a decade - I'm not sure he has that luxury of saying, "In three years' time, Cartwright will be our superstar! You'll see!"
So - what can he do?
That's the million dollar question, but evidently, what he has been doing isn't working.
It's time for change imo.
