Too true. I was listening to a little bit of 2GB on Sunday, and Bob Fulton mentioned that he thought Jamie Lyon was the best defensive centre in the game. I knew then that he would be retained.
OH FFS! This comment epitomises all those associated with the NSW Team, and primarily the selectors.
"Defensive" - absolutely negative. They are not interested in putting the best possible team on the paddock that will both entertain the crowd and give us the biggest chance of a win. Rather - they have the mentaility of "Dont want to lose" - ie saving face and putting in a solid performance is more important.
Queenslanders are right in their assessment of SOO. They play for the pride of their state - Qld, and NSW play for themselves - to protect their own skins and not those of their brothers.
This series has been the most boring in memory, and I too hope we get lapped by the Maroons. Bob McCarthy should be sacked on the spot, and I hope the whole lot of dinosaur selectors aren't too far behind him. Orogin lost its flair long ago when these neandethals starting selecting sides, using the old "they've done the job before" line.
Well McCarthy, Daley, Fulton & co - you HAVEN'T done the job this year, you DIDN'T do the job last year - You WILL NOT DO THE JOB NEXT YEAR if sanity prevails. Anything otherwise is an insult to our state.
It makes me cringe to say - "Go Queensland!!!'
