Totally again Lulham. Sometimes you must be willing to put in an effort and take a loss with the thought of building to the future. Only time will tell if NSW will take a step back in order to take a leap forward or simply tread water for another year
Who is the blame for the NSW loss in Origin?
Yeah i think Bellamy definitely isn’t the answer. There is no doubt he wouldn’t come up with plays that will attack his players weaknesses as it will show everyone how to beat the Storm.
THink they need to go with something similar to Mal Meninga. Maybe a Sterling or Mortimer or Pearce could step up

Nice comments. Happy to see a bit of banter happening from my little rant. To be honest it’s origin and if anyone puts a good 80 minutes together they will be strong. NSW has a number of options to go with and sometimes i think that hurts more so than QLD who usually only have 1 or 2 choices for each position. This means they can stick with a solid core over a long period and only once every 10 years do they have a mass clean out and start again.
Don’t think Soward is the answer. As good as his kicking game is you can’t afford to stand 20 metres back from the ruck to kick it 60. Slater will eat that up and no one can get down there and put pressure on him as they have to wait for Soward to put them onside. Campese would be a better long term option and he;s a better defender. Having said that for the past 5 year the NSW team has been picked to defend against QLD and not picking on their own merits. Clearly Jennings, Idris and the Morris brothers are the form Centres and Wingers going round. Keep Beau Scott on the bench as a utility who can filll in the centres if theres an injury but easily play in the back row if needed. I still think the issue is in the forwards and maybe they need Farah to replace Ennis to give them that speed at the play the ball to keep the QLD line back.
Time will tell
