May is a workhorse and similar to Haas without the impact so that selection was right. Spencer and Utokimano bent the line a number of times but we couldn't take advantage with quick play.
Robson had 2 or 3 runs and Daley should have bought Connor Watson on to take advantage but waited till we lost that momentum before bringing him on
Why not both? Cleary can't step up in origin and Daley is a terrible coach. There was pretty much the same amount of panthers/ex-panthers players in the team as last year (Edwards, To'o, Crichton, Luai, Martin, Yeo, Leniu etc), yet Cleary couldn't organise anything in attack.
The team looks so much better with Moses in. I'd selfishly rather him play for Parra though. Maybe we give Katoa a shot next year.
What is Luai and Cleary record together in Origin. I can't remember them winning together.
As for Daley as coach, why were the players so flat to start the last 2 games. Get Toovey or someone more like Madge, as Fittler and Daley's hippy new age cuddle players shit doesn't work
In fairness to Cleary as much as I'd love to sink the boot into that Penreff scum, he did not get one quick play the ball tonight to do Cleary things. Why was the refereeing so different to game 2? There were times tonight when NSW was well on top and should of got the calls QLD got in game 2. Why did Klein put the whistle away tonight. Sure NSW should have been smarter tonight but fuck me Klein had a massive influence on the last 2 games
So the best ya got is blame the rest. This is why NSW are not SOO standard. You like to blame anything bar the players who sucked. Clearey,Lomax,Laui,Yeo,Robinson,Edwards and King were simply outplayed.
And your coach was a joke.

Where did I blame the refs? I agree Qld played smarter than NSW. I was merely questioning why penalties in game 2 all of a sudden aren't penalties in game 3
What it goes to show is when things and players around him don't do there jobs a lot of Clearys effectiveness is taken a way.
Take note when you watch halves play football.Samething with the Moses and Brown comparison here if there not getting front foot pill it's harder to put your stamp on a game.
Dearden had a fantastic series but look what was happening round him for that to happen.They got arseholed in game 1 where we're the Maroon halves in that one.For me in this game it's much like Johns was saying there was a plan A and not much else when it failed they didn't look like they had much else I'd suggest that's more so a coaching issue than a halves one with regards to the blues performance.
"I don't think Cleary is really that interested in playing Origin, the biggest incentive for him is the extra $$$ and a bit more fame if he's able to produce the goods which he hasn't. He's also obviously playing injured. The State of Origin as a…"

I disagree, last year there were plenty of panthers players.......Ivan clearly was the coaches adviser
This year Bellamy was in the box with Daley.
There were baffling decisions made by Daley
Utokimano and king picked over May was a poor decision
I believe Laurie Daley is out of his depth

Least Moses didnt do an ACL ...?? lol
His certainly no longer the best footy player in the world. He was bog average tonight. Deaden was head and shoulders above him.
