As a QLD supporter... I'm a fan of this pick haha

Hopefully Barrett isn't selected to be an assistant.

We need all hands on deck this year and losing so many from our coaching and support staff as well as our playing group for fucking origin would not have helped things last year.

Excellent choice, looking forward to his halves pairing rotation policy

They must have run out of options so have had to trawl through previous guys who have done the job.
I also suspect they were not overrun with blokes putting their hand up.
No doubt Daley will spin it as "unfinnished business".
Their real mistake was in not doing a deal to extend fittler.

It's not like Fittler's record was that good, he was coming off a loss, and reportedly wanted more than what was deemed acceptable.

They replaced him with a guy who then won the next series.

How you call that a mistake is beyond me. They weren't to know Madge would leave.
