NSW to get dire warning
By Brad Walters
The NSW selectors have again shown loyalty to a losing side, but it's likely to be the last time.
If the Blues are beaten in Origin II, it may signal the end for several stars.
NSW captain Danny Buderus, prop Luke Bailey, second-rower Nathan Hindmarsh and winger Matt King are rumoured to have been lucky to survive last month's 25-18 loss in Brisbane. They'll be even luckier to survive another defeat.
So too will five-eighth Braith Anasta and recalled halfback Brett Kimmorley, who both know what it's like to get the axe at Origin level, while long-serving players such as Andrew Ryan, Steve Simpson and Brent Kite may also be playing for more than just to keep the series alive.
Even the position of Willie Mason, who has ambitions to be the next NSW and Australia captain, may be under threat.
With the series over as a contest, the selectors would be expected to begin planning for next year and they've already started looking to the future by blooding seven debutants in the two games so far.
Should Queensland wrap up the series for a second consecutive year at Telstra Stadium next Wednesday night, it won't be the rookies who pay the price but the players who have proved helpless to stop the Blues suffering what would then be four consecutive losses.
Sure, there has been little between the two teams on each occasion; there never is in Origin.
But the only time NSW have endured a worse sequence of defeats was during the glory days of the great Wally Lewis- and Allan Langer-led Maroons teams of the late 1980s, when Queensland strung together eight consecutive victories to win the 1987, 1988 and 1989 series.
Blues coach Graham Murray, aware that consecutive series defeats won't be tolerated, has said in his Brisbane newspaper column he doesn't expect to retain the job next year if NSW fail to regain the Origin shield.
Murray did so to avoid weeks of speculation about his future in the lead-up to each of the next two games, and selector Bob McCarthy yesterday saved the players the same worry by confirming, after he helped name the team, that another loss would not be so easily tolerated.
"It's up to them now," McCarthy told the Herald. "It's like you're playing a card game and it's your last two dollars on the counter. You've just got to pool your resources together and win the game.
"We've got to win this game just to stay alive in the series and the pressure will be on in the other one. But the bottom line is that these guys have got to realise that there's no second prize in this stuff."
Of course, McCarthy believes that he and the other three NSW selectors - Bob Fulton, Laurie Daley and Geoff Gerard - have picked the team to maintain the Blues unbeaten record at Telstra Stadium since the former Olympic venue was opened in 1999, and then go on to win the series decider in Brisbane on July 4.
But he made clear what the consequences would be if they didn't and Origin III at Suncorp Stadium became a dead rubber.
"We have begun planning for the future with the age of the guys we've got in the side, but you've still got to pick you're best side and that's what we've done," he said. "We've got 10 days to get it together, 16 of them were in camp three weeks ago and now they're back in camp again so let's see what transpires.
"I'm pretty sure this side will lift. They are down one-nil and their pride's been hurt. If they don't lift, we'll go elsewhere."

Attitude key for Brisbane Broncos
By Warren Ryan
It's uncanny that Broncos coach Wayne Bennett and his old adversary Brian Smith find themselves simultaneously under fire but for different reasons.
Wayne's headaches appear mild compared with Brian's, yet the Knights are in the eight and the Broncos are running second last.
With due deference to the retired foreman of the engine room, Shane Webcke, the Broncos look to be much the same mob that won the competition last year.
So what's going on?
Webcke's departure removed a ton of grunt but that isn't where the Broncos' problems are now, nor is it where their problems were last year.
Why they have collectively decided to do a stretch down in the cellar is hard to fathom.
Wayne's lads appear to have two hurdles to jump. One is the inability to score tries.
The purchase of young Penrith five-eighth Peter Wallace to play halfback next season is something of a coup, but he can't help the Broncos this year.
Penrith will live to regret not tying Wallace up before they picked him in the top grade.
In the pointscoring department, the facts speak for themselves.
Apart from what now appears to be a flash in the pan, the 71-6 demolition of Newcastle, the Broncos have scored more than 20 points only three times this year and one of them was a 29-28 loss to the Panthers.
In the three weeks leading up to the big score against the Knights and the week after it, the Broncos have failed to reach double figures.
In order, it was an 8-4 win over South Sydney, a 16-8 loss to the Sharks, an 18-6 loss to Manly with both sides denuded of Origin reps, then last weekend's upset 11-4 loss to a depleted Dragons line-up.
The other hurdle the Broncos have to deal with, according to their coach, isn't as visible as a lack of points on the scoreboard. It's attitude. Something Wayne Bennett talked about after the big win over the Knights.
Attitude can't be turned on and off at the reception or loss of the ball. It's an all-through-the-game requirement.
Curiously though, attitude has normally only ever been linked to the vigour and application of a team when it hasn't got the football.
However, there is an attacking malaise - Manly suffered from it regularly in the early '80s when it had 16 internationals on its books - that can descend on a team dripping with representative players.
Everyone appears to be waiting for one of the stars to do something brilliant and in the end nobody does anything.
A whiff of finals football quickly cures that torpor, but there is a long grind still to go and the Broncos are off the pace to defend their title.
If it's only an attitude problem, Bennett has a track record for fixing heads.
Smith's tasks look more complex. He has a long-term goal to make Newcastle the rugby league stronghold that it should be and in doing it, he can't please everybody, let alone a quite vicious section of the Sydney media that endeavours to undermine him everywhere he goes.
For a start, Smith would have continued to be hamstrung in activating his plans if he had no room to move under a salary cap eaten up by players who were overpaid by his predecessors.
In the competitive market that rugby league has become, every player, irrespective of where he was born or grew up, is swimming in a big pool with every other player. Player managers make sure of that.
If Smith can gain the monetary firepower to make sure the out-and-out champions that are born and bred in Newcastle aren't poached, and has enough left over to bolster the positions that aren't up to standard on the Newcastle production line, he is doing his job properly.
No Newcastle junior has a divine right by birth to play for the Knights. That kind of thinking only encourages comfort zones, player cliques and mediocrity. The higher Smith sets the crossbar for local juniors, the better Newcastle teams will be in the future.
To say the Knights' fortune rose and fell on the availability of a fit Andrew Johns was only half the story.
Joey made average gallopers look good enough to earn more than they should have and put good footballers in representative jumpers, which further strained the budget.
The wooden spoon of 2005 that landed on the Knights' doorstep without Joey around should have driven home a few home truths about the shake-up needed at the Knights.
There might be some rough weather ahead before the Knights hit smooth sailing, but Smith has already got the key four positions sorted for the future, something that Bennett is still trying to nail down.
With Danny Buderus at nine, new boy Luke Walsh at seven, Jarred Mullen at six and Kurt Gidley at one, the Knights are positioned for considerable success.
Bennett's men are almost at the point of no return but I wouldn't count them out yet.
Watch both men's critics fade away if the teams make the eight.

RLCM COACHTALK YEARBOOK 3 EXTRACT [Published 2007]
Shaun McRae - South Sydney Coach 2006
By Hanna James McCarthy - RLCM Writer
......one of course being the physical side. A large part of the physical side is your drills, as it incorporates your technical ability and it incorporates being able to play under pressure.
However, it's also important to be specific. Make sure you set up a drill where you want to put the player under a lot of pressure. For example, coaching unders and overs.
"If you want a team to learn how to run unders and overs, you've got to do it under pressure.
"You want to create a situation where it's match game situation; you also want to increase the heart rate. It can actually become quite game specific. So, it needs to be purposeful, it needs to be intense."
"Don't make a drill to difficult whereby you have players coming out of it and questioning their ability." McRae says.
These drill techniques also work in accordance with match day preparation. By observing the opposition, coaching staff can plan drills accordingly.
It may be simple, it might be left vs right with your left defence competing against your right offence. As a team, talk about the situation as if your left defence is playing defence for the opposition.
The left side then simulates what they believe the opposition would do. The right side would then run some of the opposition's plays, even though as a team you usually wouldn't run them. The left side then defends as they would normally, and both sides can get a taste of what they are coming up against.
Obviously you can then reverse the situation; it's important to practice against these pressure situations as it will prepare the team for the game itself.
The next step would then be understanding exactly what the drill is for. There is no point in practising the motions if the team doesn't know why they're doing it.
A coach needs to incorporate these drills to improve a skill; whether it be shifting the ball or marker defence, but if you cannot logically explain to a player why you are doing it, then you must ask yourself why.
Don't be afraid to make changes, in fact be prepared to make them; but make sure you know exactly what you are doing. This theory applies to the rotation of left and right defence.
Often, players will be hesitant to swap from right to left and vice versa; with a fair amount of practice, and ensuring that your drills incorporate the opportunity for players to change, players will be able to adjust.
"Some players remember one instance [swapping from right to left, where they have had problems] and straight away develop this phobia."
Says McRae.
"You've got to help them overcome that, say [to them] there really isn't much difference if you're a right or a left player. It's important [that they] adapt early. They're the sorts of players that can be better value to your team."
