Admittley I didn't watch Game 1 but surely Campese wasn't that bad. I mean bad enough not to warrant a recall?

Where do I start?
 
Geoff Carr on the eve of Origin1:
 
 I think you can see from the side we've picked, we have gone for youth with an eye to the future...
 
If Barrett gets picked, why not Kimmorley?
 
Bring back Cliffy for fuck sake.
 
NSW's kicking game was abysmal. Worse than abysmal. Both Wallace and Campese were horrible. Is Barrett a noted kicker?
 
They are so fickle, so knee-jerky. Mullen was a shoe in until he put in a stinker against the Warriors. Barrett's side lost 28 in a row, but win 3 (against the plegics, once were's and raiders no less) and fuck me: Joey has commeth again!
 
Jamie Lyon missed 4 tackles in the first half of Origin 1. How is he a better centre atm than Josh Morris?
 
Luke Bailey's broken arm saved the selectors a head ache, but Kite? This guy never bends the line. Dan Hunt does a better job off the bench for St George - why not make it a Dragons trifecta?
 
And while we're on the front row, we're going to go with one prop on the bench are we? Fucking suicide.
 
Tom Learoyd-Lahrs - instead of naming him as a shadow player, put him the fucking side. We need guys like him.

Diving into the theoretical, could we see a spread as high as -12 for game #3?

I am going to SOO3 with Brett Kenny replica Jersey (could have Brett been picked?) so fingers crossed its for the decider...my feedback on SOO team 2 ...

 

The NSW selectors are fundamentally flawed. How would you feel being a previous team mate of Campsie? SOO is not about the talent, but the talent of those around these gifted footballers to have them ready to fire come game time.

 

NSW were a bees dick off victory in SOO 1, with that experience and another crack it would have served us well into SOO 2 and the future.

Great commentary AB.  Barrett kicks one 40/20 on the weekend with a helium balloon and all of a sudden he has a great kicking game.  Mistake, Campese will be back, this year or next.
 
Still think the Blues can get up, they weren't far off in game one.  Undecided at this stage.

Nah these NSW selectors seemingly are never accountable otherwise they would have been sacked a long time ago.

Regular readers of my incoherent thoughts know that I love front rowers . Why does NSW only have 3? 2 starters and one on the bench. Which back rower, either starting or off the bench, can put in minutes up front? How can these 3 counter Price, Fridge and Freezer and the Polar bear?

No wonder the NSW halves look shit on the field, the forwards are getting dominated

Solution, find 3 back rowers that will play for 80 minutes. Fuck off Wing from the bench, put 3 fornt rowers on the bench (fuck any 3 will do) and rotate 5 props for 80 minutes. They will all be fresh during the game and they will tire out the Qld forwards.

And do the selectors know what they are doing? We know the answer, but they annouce a "direction" when justifying the game 1 team, and now they have done in another "direction". Yet the media are all quiet on this.

Fuck McCarthy, fuck Fulton, fuck Daley, fuck Gerard and fuck Bellamy

Lose this game and all 5 should go.

At least my Qld series bet is home
