NSW Blues Boss Laurie Daley Faces Crucial Decision Ahead of State of Origin
NSW Blues coach Laurie Daley is at the centre of a selection storm as he prepares to name his squad for the upcoming State of Origin series. With injuries, form slumps, and rising stars all playing a role, Daley’s choices this year could define the Blues’ campaign. One of the biggest dilemmas surrounds the halves combination—whether to stick with experienced campaigners or take a risk on in-form rookies.
Adding to the pressure is the uncertainty around key players like James Tedesco and Latrell Mitchell, whose recent form and fitness have raised questions. Daley must balance loyalty with performance, knowing that another series loss could cost him his job. The forward pack also presents a conundrum, with several contenders staking strong claims in the NRL, including rising stars pushing for debut jerseys.
Fans and analysts alike are divided, with passionate calls for both continuity and change. With the announcement looming, Daley faces arguably the toughest selection period of his coaching tenure. The weight of expectation is high, and only time will tell if his choices will lead the Blues to victory or another year of disappointment. The countdown to Origin has never felt more intense.
