The QLD team had more rep experience than NSW.
That doesn't take away from the fact that they're shit.You do realise that "piss poor qld side" will very possibly be the QLD side for years to come?
They are saving him for Man of the Series.Unjustly. Maloney should have got it.

Starting to look like Jimmy Maloney might have to lift the shield. Cords hasn't been able to train as yet.I'm talking about celebrating our fearless leader and his excellent performance this series.

Nah
Cords will lift the shield regardless of if he plays game 3 and we will all rejoice.
It would be too much for a Panthers fan to give him credit when it is clearly due.Cordner will still play injured like last year game 3. That went well.
NSW would have won more series over the last 10 years if QLD had no Thurston, Cronk, Smith and Scott (not to mention Slater game 1).
NSW deserved the victory but I don't see Fittler as some messiah. I like how many coaches have been vilified despite getting so close to beating the maroons at their best (with far better teams than they dished up this year) and yet so many now act like Fittler has changed the blues by just beating this weakened team.
Credit where it's due but I don't see the huge difference that some are.

Has to be acknowledged that he only want for the job when the whole RL community knew the talent cycle was dramatically shifting toward the blues. Until now he’d left the job to others to have their legacy tainted.
Smart move though.
Agree with some of this.
However, NSW have picked many blokes who just should not have been given a rep jersey thanks to Bozo and blokes who showed up, did f**k all and were picked again the next year. And the year after that. And so on.
Fred hung his nuts out there and did something no one else was prepared to do ...... and no it wasn't a genius idea..... he selected young blokes who were in form that he knew had the right attitude and moved away from established, experienced rep players that for some reason seemed to believe that had a right to turn up and collect their 30K.
11 debutants. A series win in the first 2 games. That is quite special imo.
Not QLD finest hour really.
