NSW need their own recently retired, respected ex legend with a similar equivalent brains trust to Qld.
The selection process is the most flawed aspect of NSW teams. They either stick with favs, or pick latest flavour of the month or totally unsuitable SOO type softies....Brett Hodgson anyone etc etc etc.
You need a specific hard nose no nonsense type player to start the foundations again for a tough team and start the platform from that.
Qld have done the groundwork so can introduce flair and take a chance on a new chum bc they grow an extra leg for the coach, team mates and state.
Any coach that has had a chequered career or failures like Des or Madge wont gain the respect of these current players. Fittler has none now.
Not sure who NSW could come up with but Gallen, Ennis, Fitzgerald may be a start.
