I did not want to be the bearer of bad news - but as noone else has touched it - I want to congratulate Watto on the likely success of QLD Origin in 2011 with Ricky Stuart officially confirmed as NSW coach today!

It is strongly tipped that Laurie Daley will join him as assistant and selection adviser (there will no longer be any formal selectors)!

At least we will have Farah at the Tigers through the Origin series in 2011!
 
stuart's the clown that makes dumb statements such as "pearce should be nsw captain". he is not the man
 
If they pick a decent side and have a proper support staff, it doesn't really matter who the coach is. Queensland have proven this. But if Big Nose Daley is involved then we're headed down the same road as the last 5 years.
 
Hmm he cant be worse than Bellamy. Bellamy would have to go down as one of the worst in origin history.
Good luck Ricky
 
Stuart was the last coach to deliver NSW an origin series wasn't he?

That said, the news that Daley will be around the squad and have some responsiblility in selecting the squad will nullify that and ensure QLD's success continues (which I won't complain about either :smiley🙂

Daley was part of the problem for the past five years!!!!!!! How can they even think about giving him any part to play in the new team?

I think Ricky will do OK and that he may be open to the Tigers players If they are on form in 2011\. He respects Sheens very much.

As for Craig Bellamy, I am not so sure of his coaching credentials in light of the Rampant cheating and loaded playing roster. This will be shown up over the next 2 seasons as the Storm roster returns to normal. I probably could of coached that team to the semis and a GF win as well.

Robbie is an auto selection @ 9

Lawrence and Gall will hopefully be playing well enough to warrant selection.

Blues are on the way back

The bloke simply cannot coach quality attacking football - and if we try to win a series through tough defence and impotent attack (a'la Bellamy) we are once again setting ourselves up to be embarassed!
 
SHEEENS!!!! AND NO ONE ELSE!! i want sheens to be coach of NSW.

Stuff the independent commission and all that bs about a full time coach.
 
Well, we'll see how this goes I guess…...I really don't like seeing Daley anywhere near the side though
 
It is pretty bad when the best NSW can come up with is Stuart as coach. Apparently Daley will be involved as well, he loves the way Ennis plays, so the upside is we have Robbie on hand for premiership games. In fact I hope WTs continue to do well so I can continue to concentrate on club games and forget about SOO.

That side looks pretty good, but Josh Dugan has to be there IMO. He's the best we've got.
 
Stuart has stated he will bring together a core group of senior players to consult with early in the new year - naming Pearce (?????), Gallen, Lewis Hayne & Gidley as likely candidates - along with Watmough - Carney & Bird!!

What an almighty brains trust NSW would boast!!!

If Daley was to also join that celebrated ensemble - the combined IQ would sink into the single digit range!
 
As a player I liked Daley Heaps.. remind me why as a Tiger I must Hate him???

Happy to jump on the WTForum Bandwagon of targeted vitriol.

This was my biggest assessment of the past 3 campaigns, followed by Culture…

Its really a no-brainer for me. Qld have this awesome attacking backline and buch of blokes up front who will tackle and just hit it up to give there backs some room. If the Blues are any chance of winning, they MUST out-score Queensland.

I think Ricky might be a good catalyst, but Daley has gota stay away. When Qld won 4 series, I said we will win 5, but Im not as confident we will get 6\. Your time is getting closer and I wouldnt be suprised to see NSW win 3 straight before Qld realise how to fix it!!!
