We need to make some big changes now imo. The news of Thurstons retirement at the conclusion of the next world cup and the fact that smith and Cronk will probably be to old or not around anymore, now is the chance to take a step towards our era. Yes we could lose next year and the one after, but we need to set a young group up asap.
Personally id go with something like this
1. J.Tedesco
2. J.Roberts
3. J.Dugan (could even give Leilua a crack)
4. J.Bird
5. T.Trobojevic
6. M.Moylon (he will end up here, give it to him now)
7. A.Sezer (not the flashiest, but he is tough and can manage a game, is also only 24)
8. A.Woods
9. N.Peats
10. D.Klemmer
11. T.Frizzell
12. B.Cordner
13. J.Jackson

14. B.Cartwright
15. W.Graham
16. A.Fifita
17. J.Trobojevic / R.Campball-Gillard / J.Paulo (if he can change his allegiance)

That team has barely any experience and would still be better than the current team of walking sperms that should have been swallowed.

I would rather have Mitchell Pearce than a combo of Aiden Sezer with Moylan/Austin/Coote.

Anyone who has Moylan in their team should just retire from watching rugby league.

Daley will pick mostly the same side next year because he'll want 'experience'

Liking what Phil Gould said about the Blues.
Not much you can say after losing 10 series out of the last 11.
Maybe the cult of Gallen and Farah has to go.
But there needs to be experience in the side as well.

How good a footballer is Josh Jackson btw. Wow.

The Blues are specialists in failure. Can't turn around a losing culture. The best chance NSW has is if Des retires from club coaching and takes on the blues

Experience... Lets name a few things this team has experience in..

..being shit.
..losing.
..wasting everyone's time.
..being an embarrassment.
..being disappointments.

Basically, the NSW team is the equivalent of, if Tony Williams cloned himself and created an entire team. (excluding the coach. Not even Williams can be as rubbish and pathetic as Daley)

This is fuckin terrible. Aubusson? you are kidding.

The current halves are fine. Maloney played pretty well and Adam Reynolds is the best kicker we got, and the only two better kickers are Cronk and Thurston.
Jack bird should be in the team, he is a very strong and athletic player as we all saw last night and two weeks ago when he shrugged off J moz and co.

Need to blood more dynamic young players next year. we really need only a couple of players over age 28. The selectors need to change their way of thinking, they always think players are 'too raw', 'not ready (mentally)' for origin, but this is not a good way of thinking when we have lost 10/11. It is time to take risks and identify the future stars for the blues. They need to select people who show pride, who want to play for the blues. Players like Klemmer, Josh Jackson, Frizell (although his body language is not 100%, he very clearly gives 100%). Need to drop flops like Ferguson, Jmoz, Bmoz

I don't get the Sezer hype tbh. The bloke is average with a solid kicking game and nothing more.
I don't get the Moylan hype.
I liken it to Anasta, where he was hyped so much, so early that people feel the need to see something in him that isn't really there.
To me he plays soft, bitch ball. He can't get tough and if he didn't have Gould pumping up his tyres he'd be nothing.

I don't mind Moylan..but yh he idn't as good as people make out. Teddy should of been the fb as soon as he was fit.
