Alexander was a complete dickhead on NRL360, they are making this team hard to like

Alexander is a complete dickhead. Best is a surprise selection. NSW's selections have been questionable and they're losing 0-2. They should be prepared for scrutiny and dissatisfaction. In this series, we've seen NSW misuse Hynes and Murray, select Pangai Junior and Utoikamanu and play Cook at centre. Really, this series is a story of 2 coaches- one who selected youth and form over experience and the other who selected experience over youth and form. And it's 0-2

Not so sure selections were a huge issue early, but Freddie’s coaching clearly is…

Well, they've panned out to be an issue because they haven't won. Fitler backed the wrong horses. Tedesco's poor game hasn't been in a vacuum, nor Turbo's. Luai was good enough game 1, but they haven't scored enough points, despite good field position.

Let's get this done and dusted for another year. There'll be a big crowd as usual. Surely NSW will play for pride in the jersey? I hope they win.

Both times they went live to the coaching box they scored!

Six-all, decent game so far.

The Fox! He should've done a great chip and chase like that earlier in the series.

10-6, Blues.

Now Best is in. Too little too late as far as the series but this is good for the home crowd.

16-6 but don't count out Qld.

Edit: the Hammer goes past To'o pretty easily to score. NSW end the half with a penalty. 18-10.

Freddy to go 3/6 and 9/18 overall. Probably enough to give him another run after a performance like this

If Luai isn’t picked game 1, he probably has an extra series win
