Message: [QUOTE="Foordy, post: 3425695, member: 1769"] the ARLC have been forced into an embarrassing backflip. In the build-up to this year’s Origin series, NRL Head of Football Graham Annesley wrote to each state body to announce that Blues coach Fittler and Maroons coach Slater would become Kangaroos selectors, replacing Laurie Daley and Darren Lockyer on the panel. the NSWRL and QRL have informed the ARLC that neither Fittler nor Slater will be taking up the positions as they feel it is a conflict of interest. they feel that they'll have to go all in on their own state players to avoid being perceived as disloyal. the NSWRL and QRL are set to nominate Daley and Lockyer to become the national selectors instead. Mal doesn't get a vote on the selectors but Vlandys has the decisive vote [B]Lord Vlandys on Billy and Freddy:[/B] “From what I’m told, Billy and Freddy [Fittler] believe they’ve got a conflict of interest because if they don’t go in there and stick up for the players they’re coaching and they miss out, the perception might be they’re not loyal to them. I can understand and respect that.” [B]Lord Vlandys on Locky and Daley:[/B] “They’re two legends of the game,” V’landys added. “I love Laurie, and one of the nicest people to me when I came into the game was Darren Lockyer, so you couldn’t ask for two better people. I respect both the views of Billy and Freddy. I can understand where they’re coming from and it’s no problem.” [/QUOTE]
