Laurie Daley will be given one more crack. It's now up to whether Daley wants the job. I know Gus Gould said this week because of Daley's devastation from the loss didn't think it was in Daley's interests to stay on. I think Daley may be mentally drained from the job as well and a change would be better for him and NSW going forward.
LAURIE Daley will be offered one more crack at coaching the Blues to State of Origin glory.
Fox Sports’ chief NRL reporter James Hooper reported on
NRL Tonight that the NSW Rugby League plans to table a one-year contract to Daley.
He’s yet to make a decision on his coaching future.
Daley’s five-year contract as coach expired the minute Queensland won the 2017 series with a dominant game three victory at Suncorp Stadium a fortnight ago.
The loss means he’s won just one of five attempts at an Origin series as coach.
Speculation has been rife since the Origin III loss whether Daley would stick around or walk away from the gig.
A plethora of replacements have been suggested, including fellow Blues legends such as Brad Fittler, Andrew Johns, and Matty Johns.
NSW legend Ryan Girdler was asked about the news on
NRL Tonight.
“Laurie’s put his heart and soul into that job for the last five years,” Girdler said.
“But I just get the feeling that it’s time to move on. I think we need some new blood in there, possibly some new ideas.
“I’d be happy to see a bit of a change at the top.”
