New South Wales Problem?

Question

I think I've got an idea that could help the NSW Origin team. Think about it, QLD have a coach and assistance coach that don't have first grade clubs to worry about. All their focus is on the Origin side. But NSW have the Storms coach and Cowboys coach. They have focuses else where. I'm not saying that they don't put their heart and soul into the training and preparation, but they effectively have two jobs.
So I would seem to me that should this years campaign go belly up then maybe consider finding a coaching staff that don't have a first grade club. Nothing against Bellamy, but it just seems like that might be the big difference here. Mal probably thinks about his QLD team every week, while Bellamy has to deal with his Storm team (much more lately) and Origin thoughts maybe creep in every few weeks.

Could it be a solution?

Great idea. Sadly it is also one that has been brought up many times before. Most people agree that trying to do jobs well tends to get neither job done properly. Maybe if enough people bring it up here and in the press, something may be done about it.

I do agree with you and it would be great if the NSWRL would do it.

Shane Flanagan, NSW's assistant coach, is actually the Cronulla coach, but you do have a good point. 

I reckon Ricky Stuart is the man for the job. Not affiliated with an NRL club, plenty of passion and fire, he was also the last Origin coach to win us a series.

Yeah that might help, but probably not. QLD just has a better team. 3-0 this year for QLD and there's a good chance of making it 6 or 7 series in a row. sucks to be a NSW supporter.
I'd be sacking Kurt Gidley before Craig Bellamy anyway, but hopefully they keep him there, it's funny! Please bring Paul Gallen back too, we missed his penalty and mistake rate on Wednesday night. Thanks for all the THUMBS UPs that you are about to give me too :-)

That's nothing new.. We've all been saying that for the last couple of years. Heck we said that when Graham Murray was coach, so what did they do.. brought in Bellamy..

The selectors should never have let him free reign on who he wanted to pick, that was the first mistake.  That being said, I just don't see that NSW has the firepower to beat us, we have the wood on you in every position.
