Why has this never been questioned?

[Tweed Titan]

The NSWRL appointed a head coach that had coached exactly 0 games at NRL/Elite level prior to his appointment.

That's right, Laurie Daley had only coached exhibition games prior to being appointed the coach of the NSW Blues! (Teams coached; NSW Country, Indigenous All Stars & The Prime Minister's XIII.)

State of Origin is only considered the pinnacle of elite rugby league, why would you want an experienced and proven coach right?

And wasn't his inexperience and incompetence on full display last Wednesday night!

They say an organisation is only as good as its leadership and boy the NSWRL needs a massive clear out. The joint is rotten from top to bottom.

So whilst people are correct to criticise Daley, why are Dave "Down" Trodden and his cronies not being called out for a please explain or resignation?

The hierarchy couldn't be budged with a jackhammer.

Lost 10 of the 11 Series. They'll tell you; We are doing a good job. You got rid of one selector when Daley was sacked in 2011. Bozo resigned last year. Daley pops up as coach and you're back on the merry-go-'round.

Sure they need a broom from top to bottom and it will never happen. Blues Dynasty? You guys will win some for sure, but all of the QLD champions who have blitzed Origin for the past decade or more will move into positions as motivators or assistant coaches. The best Origin mentors possible.

How's Mitchell Pearce going to go as coaching assistant for the Blues?
"Well let me tell you about the key to winning Origin: Sack me!"

It's gonna really hurt when Pearce raises that origin shield in Brisbane isn't it?

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Perhaps Bellamy should do it...

It'll likely hurt a fair few NSW supporters even more as Pearce will likely be all but welded into the side forevermore ...

(Nitpick - I thought the captain raised the shield)

Indeed, it'll be Cordner but you know Pearce will be all through the papers and TV holding it with accompanying stories about how they told us so.

Coupled with JT not playing, it'd be a bittersweet victory. I mean sure, we'd win- but it was predicted long before a ball had been kicked.

And you can bet the Roosters fap squad will go on about it for YEARS...

I'm on record here as saying that it would actually be worth losing one series in order to see Pearce pencilled in for the next decade.

 

[madunit]

Should NSW have selected an experienced coach like QLD has?

Oh wait...

 

[Knightmare]

Kevin Walters is to Qld what Michael Hagan was to Newcastle- even more than Michael Hagan was to Qld...

But not like Laurie Daley to NSW?

Don't know. When exactly is that going to happen?

No. The alarm clock will go off and that dream will go up in smoke.

NSW need to send an SOS to Trent Robinson.

And I quote:

''In 2010, after New South Wales suffered their fifth consecutive series defeat and their first Origin whitewash (a series lost 0–3) since 2000, he was sacked as the state's team selector.''
