The perennially underachieving state of NSW have today reminded the rest of the nation about how they simply don’t understand Origin football.
The wealthiest and most populous state did so by naming their team for the 3rd State of Origin match.
Taking place next Wednesday in the soulless sprawl that is the Olympic Village out in Homebush, NSW have claimed that they are trying to avoid a series whitewash against their old foes.
The lip service to Game 3 has however been questioned today, after coach Brad Fittler and his coaching set up named the most NSW team in recent memory.
After serving up a particularly limp Game two, Fittler has rung the changes in yet another knee-jerk reaction that has NSW fans wondering if it’s physiologically possible for them to understand even the most basic principles of State of Origin.
A raft of changes has seen players dropped for reasons unbeknownst to anyone, players over looked and others called back in after being thrown to the wolves and unceremoniously dropped in the past.
Souths Hooker Damien Cook has been dropped after being brought in to provide dummy half relief off the bench and playing 78 minutes out of position in game 2.
The spine has once again been changed (for the 3rd time this series), providing the cohesiveness of political team headed up by Scott Morrison or Kevin Rudd.
“This is a team that can do the job,” said coach Fittler who will be spending the whole week leading up to Origin trying to get the boys into something that vaguely resembles the structure of a team.
Queensland has once again named a sensible settled team that will likely put 50 on the hapless southerners in the ‘dead rubber.’
