    I'm sure it did hurt a lot. It has hurt a lot being a NSW blues supporter, and countless supporters who have seen time and time again, the "favourites" being picked over " in form " players. A hard lesson you had to learn the hard way.

    Respect Freddy but his team selections were very questionable. No way Queensland would select a player let them play 10 mins and then drop them for next game. I reckon he just destroyed a lot of players confidence. Definitely a step back for them

The bloke is an absolute flog, isn't a coaches asshole as he has absolutely no idea how to get the best out of a group, but rather destroys players confidence, and his interchange was absolutely abysmal.

    It's pretty easy! I'm a die hard QLD fan and a kiwi but, Following on from what Gus said, don't pick players who play for other nations. Luai and Paulo played for Samoa even though they could of played for Australia. Good on them for choosing the team of their motherland but when it comes to origin, you need players who have a passion to play for Australia. The way I've seen players who play for other nations play origin, apart from Hammer who has since gone back to Australia, they have had shocking Origin performances.
    If you don't pledge allegiance for Australia, you don't play origin. It's simple

      @@DaPeasant unfortunately I gotta agree with you 100%
      I feel like the last 'great' origin we will see was the decider in 2022. That game would have suited being the final origin series ever.

      @adamwebb831 maybe that's because they've accepted origin as something that is Queensland's? Which is rightfully so, actually. I know they are passionate about nsw but they don't have a maligned history to fuel a burning passion. NSW were like the English of the William Wallace era, trying to take Scotland until someone stood up lol
      Sounds ridiculous but that's the way it feels when it's game time.

    So oblivious to the fact you had better players over Queensland and yet couldn't beat them. You're a terrible coach and should have been fired years ago!
