By far the worst origin coach of all time

If Moses is not starting then they can fuck off.
Well they are not dropping Cleary. Why drop Strange when he was really good?
I think that's fine, keep Moses for ourselves. I'd rather him play Canberra and get a better chance of 2 points.
This might be unpopular but whilst strange was good, he was largely ineffective until the game opened up when Ponga went off. Moses takes pressure off Cleary with his kicking game. You can't afford to only have one kicker in origin. Strange's selection was a terrible one until Ponga got sent off
I know it won't happen but Moses and Strage would be an awesome combo. Cleary and Moses don't really do it for me - what makes them both great overlaps a bit too much.
If Moses is fully fit, he will make the squad though. Strange was great but it's not like he lit the world on fire to the point where he is picked over Moses.Whether Moses can actually be uninjured though...much bigger question.
If we had a Walsh or Ponga at fullback that would be a great option. Cleary was terrific last night. He struggled early on being the only kicking option. The line speed (and the fact that everyone is offside in origin) really cuts down his time when they can just load up on Cleary. It also limits Clearys options on the 4th tackle (can't afford to be tackled on the 5th)
That last 10-15 minutes is exactly why Cleary is a champion. That 40/20 was pure poetry.
Cleary and Moses is the best combination NSW has in my opinion and it's not even close.
I reckon Moses will start game 2 with strange in the centre or coming off bench. Any chance we could snag Strange to parra.
How could we get Strange when it seems we struggle to get 90% of our targets.
Sorry Parrafan not you in particular but I hate when people see a great game by a player and go "we should get him" like it's that easy and there is not their own club that wants him.
I reckon Strange could get moved to the bench for Game 2. He's a hard unit and would be good to have in the team somewhere. And if Moses is in the team because he's made of glass for Origin we almost have to carry a serviceable backup.
Mose will not be ready for game two I think
