I would have thought the 80 minutes of madness & mayhem of last years grand final would probably haunt Bellyache more Its a wonder how he sleeps with all that haunting going on.

It would be handy to know if Bellamy got the players he wanted? If so, he lives and dies by the sword, if not, then maybe the selectors needs reviewing and the coach should have a say at the selection table to pick players he believes can implement his game plans the best. Then it would be fair to judge him on the results.
Saying that, no matter who the coach was this year, I don’t think that NSW have the players to stand up and beat QLD right now. If you were selecting a national team from the first two games the only NSW player guaranteed selection would be Jarryd Hayne.

Chop, according to the Daily Telegraph, Bellamy has been getting the selections he wanted, apart from Campese in Game 1. If this is accurate I see no way he will be keep on next year particular if this series ends 3 – 0 to QLD.

Bill if that is accurate he’s gone! However it is the Telecrap, so you’re forgive me for being cynical….
Even after game 3 has been run and won by NSW, I still can’t see Bellyache keeping his job for next year.
