Message: [QUOTE="Emma, post: 2212350, member: 1772"] ^ I'll say. NSW needed to just pick a side, and if necessary, sacrifice (for want of a better word) this series for the sake of years to come. If they lost, so be it, build for the future. To bring in a new half who will potentially only have a few days to work with some of the backs (Bellamy said he's giving the injured players until Friday to be in training with the team) is a massive change, no matter how you look at it - especially after only losing 1 game - and it's a backward step for what NSW were surely trying to achieve. What happens if they lose game 2? Do they drop Barrett? If they win the series and Barrett's not playing next year, they're back at square one yet again. It seems NSW want immediate success, and aren't thinking at all long term. QLD did the right thing in 2005 - yes they lost the series, but it was about building a team that would be around and producing the goods for years to come. NSW could do worse than take a leaf out of their book. [/QUOTE]
