NSW State of Origin Selectors to Blame?

With Queensland winning the 3rd State of Origin series in succession, the path has been long and disappointing for the largest Rugby League state in the world.

With Graham Murray getting sacked after 2 failed attempts at winning State of Origin, now the best coach in the NRL, Craig Bellamy has tried hard and also fallen short - probably derailed by his own Melbourne Storm players who were playing for Queensland.

The Rugby League public including commentator for Channel 9, Phil Gould have said to stop blaming the players and the coaching staff and take a look at the selectors who failed to pick the best possible players and also fit them into the right positions.

Laurie Daley, Bob Fulton, Bob McCarthy, Geoff Gerard are the current selectors and certainly deserve to be looked at after several years of failure.

Concerns are around the fact that Craig Bellamy might want to walk away from State of Origin coaching as it takes away from his focus on the Melbourne Storm who suffer during the commitments of State of Origin midway through the NRL season.
