    Freddie hates Nicho Hynes confirmed. After not playing him in G1 until he was forced to centre, he's now been cut.

    Mitch Moses in for Cleary
    Reece Robson gets the bench spot
    Latrell back for Crichton
    TPJ cut for Utoikamanu

    Latrell, Murray and Martin still under injury cloud.

    If Nicho wasn't going to start in game 1, he should not have been picked. He only even got to play because of the head knock to Turbo. It was a terrible bench selection to start with. Freddy is a muppet. Robson a much better bench selection for an Origin game.

    RCG obviously still hated by Panthers, sure just back from injury, but most consistent prop at this level for NSW.
    Moses might just be the right choice for Origin, dont think he has the same natural gifts as Nicho, but is an angry little bloke with skills who can play with or without a 5/8 as demonstrated yesterday..which could be handy if Luai goes missing as is often the case. For whatever reason a souths/exsouths combo not deemed worthy which would have been scary.
    Still for all their talk of combinations that were so important for game 1, that has been thrown completely out the door... for me, I don't think they honestly know what they want

    Biggest winners Jason Demetriou and Kevin Walters

      Robson a good pick i think, will go well.
      Moses is there to kick and pass the ball to the centres (and not Teddy).
      Apparently Walker isn't fit so that's why this selection is my guess

      Freddie is coaching for his job, so he's chucking everything at it, and relying on Latrell and Turbo to party like it's 2021

          The Blues are so pathetic. I don't know the exact stats head to head, but the Maroons more often than not seem to get over the Blues, a bit like the Crusaders v the ... Blues...

            @canefan

            Blues are still better than the Canes

            Anyway back to the league. I don’t follow league much.. is the NSW attack a mess because of the injury or are they just a rabble at the moment?

                Is that what he is? I just thought he was one of the many hangers on that would get on the beers win or lose.

                    Who thought it was a good idea for Fittler to coach?

                    In his role in the media he comes across as an absolute meathead.

                      You know what's fucking awesome as a Qld supporter??

                      Thr most golden of golden generations retired. NSW should have made hay at that point. Instead Qld have done fucking better.

                      And now we are putting together a squad of pretty young guys who could play together for years

                      Coached by absolute legends who were all smart players and played for the best coaches. It's got sustained success written all over it

                      Meanwhile down south...

                        Mrs Crazy Horse thinks some of the young guys are good looking too. Walsh is her favourite, who's yours?

                              Wow ..what a sh*t show from NSW, you get injuries and certainly the glass man Turbo going down early didn't help, but the weird replacement and tactics that followed was terrible. Combined with Queensland's incredible defence it was an ordinary night for the Blues. Surely this has sealed the fate of Freddy.

                              I know Collins man of the match and he played very well, but for me 34 year old DCE played like a young kid and was exceptional.

                              Slater should also be signed as a full time coach for a club and offer him a lot. Incredibly analyitcal and knows his shit

                                  Loved his comment after the match when asked about chasing down Creighton - felt like I was running on the treadmill.

                                  NSW are in disarray - poor coaching and poor selections. Their over reliance on a halves combo that has been worked out.

                                    What made NSW think Freddy was ever going to be a good coach after what he did at the Roosters? lol Although he was a great player, there was already evidence he could not select and coach.

                                    Most NSW fans were questioning his favouritism and thought process from the first team selection and it has got more confused ever since. Talks about combos as the reason for selection, then completely ignores that the next time. Im sure he will drop Haas next time because he only played 70 minutes and Cook will probably be starting centre.

                                      far out.. Holbrook always was getting closer to being moved on, but to Des?

                                        Kai Kara-France is the Warriors wrestling coach. Volkanovski does similar work with the Dragons

                                          @Duluth I think Izzy visited a few weeks ago and there was some wrestling done as well. Dont think it was necessarily a coaching session though
