Laurie Daley now damaged goods for a NRL coaching career?

[Incorrect]

In terms of coaching, do people forget Laurie Daley's tenure as Coaching Director at St George-Illawarra during the Nathan Brown years in the early-mid 2000s? He was still on NRL on Fox and a commentator during that time. He would talk up every Dragons player ,regardless of whether they were very talented or bog average, as if they were immortals. Says it all really.

I remember that, quite vividly. It was a punish having to sit through Dragons games if was co-commentating

 

[Mr Saab]

Daley as coach of your club team. I would really feel sorry for any club who signed him, even lol @ souffs.

It's not as painful as lisitening to Lockyer and Wally grunt through Broncos games.

The blank looks and monosyllabic answers in the post game presser would provide a few lol's every week...

Sums him up to a tea. It's as though he's AI trying to read human emotions

Did he really say we have to look after the players because they feeling bad after their pissweak game 3 performance?

He created a culture of softness, and complacency, Guys like Fergo could not score for 7 games and let tries in every game and they knew they would still get picked. These idiots all thought they were entitled to the win, even with the poor state of NRL club management no one would hire the dud.

Geez even Craig Bellamy could not get NSW up.

He goes alright in club land.

Oh yes because it was the same level of competition. Back then all these great qlders were in their prime, this was a fading side that half their starters missing anyway.

In hindsight, Bellamy was hampered by trying to balance Club footy and rep footy at the same time.

Would like to see him have another go once his time is up at Melbourne whenever that may be

I think we comfortably win this series 3 nil if he coached us this year. Belamys sides don't just fade like we did in game 2, and they don't come out flat as a tack like we did game 3.

This was NSW worst series loss IMO. It was a complete choke by the blues, nothing else.

Daley carried a winger whos club form was indifferent and couldn't score a try in 6 games the last two series and probably let 10 in. What the f**k was Fergo doing there? He is a centre who cant catch playing on the wing outside a f**king fullback, its beyond a joke. He picked and stuck with his favourites. He had form for choking also, look at the last decider he coached at suncorp.

Bellamy would have been all "OK merkins gather around - see that Cam Smith bloke, and the fullback Slater and the centre Greg Inglis and that Cronk fella in the number 7 - under no circumstances should they be tackled by us. Or if you do, make sure you break their fall and they are not hitting the turf first. Got that?"

NSW's problem for the bulk of the past decade has been the lack of attacking threats and a complete inability to turn half chances in to points... it was frustrating the other night for instance seeing Morris get the ball in a bit of space down the left side, only to come in field straight away because he has no confidence or belief in his speed anymore to be able to burn Gagai.... great defensively but a wingers job is to finish and we need some pace on the flanks... Bevan French would have taken them on, burned Gagai, chipped over Slater, re-gathered then ran back towards Gagai again to burn him a second time and then scored under the sticks....

Yep. This is why Hayne was good. He had speed and confidence. Now NSW is full of slow twits who are "origin players"

 

[davi]

Not re writing history at all. That series was NSW to win and they blew it. But it doesnt change the fact Smith and Gronk are the real coaches of this Qld team.

Ffs Cam was also part of the selection panel that turfed DCE....

Smith gives input about a Cameron Munster to Queensland and that's you're evidence that Smith and Cronk are the real coaches? Seriously Pedge you are really grasping at straws of what was an unsubstantiated ill-thought out comment. Tom Raudonkis also last night praised Kevin Walters attacking tactics of running the NSW forwards raggered. Offourse what would Tommy know he's only a former state of origin coach.

According to your half-baked logic these decisions were also made by Cronk and Smith not Kevin Walters.

"QUEENSLAND’S new era under Kevin Walters has begun with a shock culling of long-serving off-field staff, with four Maroons officials boasting more than 50 years of combined Origin experience given the bullet this week.

Walters has quickly put his own stamp on the Maroons, telling the bulk of Mal Meninga’s former staff their services were no longer required.

Coaching assistants Jason Hetherington and Michael Hagan, physiotherapist Scott Thornton and doctor Roy Saunders have been told they will not be involved with the team this year.

The sacking of Saunders was the biggest shock — the popular “Doc” had been Queensland’s team medico since 1993, with 22 years of consecutive service.

Hetherington, Hagan and Thornton were mainstays of Mal Meninga’s highly successful 10-year reign.

Former Queensland captains Trevor Gillmeister and Allan Langer, also members of Meninga’s staff, are believed to have survived the bloodletting."

Daley has stood down hasn't he?

No not quite, he has been mum on his future. I've read that he has some support to continue but whether it's enough is another question. Daley either is weighing his options or taking his time to announce he won't continue. I'm not sure him staying on is in the likely category at this stage, and NSW will be facing pressure at the top to make a change considering Daley has been there for five years and only one win to show from it. This article gives some context at where they are at..........

"Laurie Daley touched down in Sydney yesterday and gave little away on his coaching future. The morning after the devastation of the night before, the NSW coach’s more immediate concern was spending time with a son who is recovering from a knee injury and a daughter who is studying for her HSC.

His other family — the Blues — can take a back seat for the time being. NSW have 12 long and painful months to prepare for another State of Origin series and the calls have already begun for a major facelift of the side and staff.

The key positions — on and off the field — are in disarray, and the options are limited. The problems extend beyond the coaches box. The Blues are bereft of quality and depth at hooker and in the halves. They lack composure and class when the game is in the balance.

At administrative level, they have spent the series struggling with criticism of the decision to stay at The Star casino. The players have railed publicly and privately against staying there in contrast to the resort conditions at the team’s alternative base on the NSW far north coast, although it did them no good on Wednesday night.

Daley insists he will provide some clarity around his plans in the next couple of weeks and, for the time being, he has the support of NSW Rugby League chairman George Peponis.

Peponis has spoken with him on a regular basis in recent weeks, but is none the wiser on the coach’s plans.

A full review will be carried out in the coming weeks, but if Peponis has his way, Daley will return despite a record of one series win in five years. That record should hardly scream out security but Peponis points out Daley has taken charge of the Blues during a period when Queensland have been able to call upon a coterie of champions.

“You look at the coaches before him in the last 10 or 11 years,” Peponis said. “It’s an era (for Queensland) you probably won’t see again for the next 30 or 40 years. I don’t think you can blame Laurie for that performance.

“Certainly if he decides to stay he has my support, but I’m only one voice — we have a board of seven. I speak to him all the time. I spoke to him last night, I spoke to him two weeks ago. In the discussions we have had it was ‘let’s not worry about this now, let’s worry about it at the end of the series’. Any discussion to be had should be had after the series is over.

“We wanted to focus on winning the State of Origin series. We won the first State of Origin very convincingly, (we led) 16-6 halftime in State of Origin II. That’s how close it was. If you’re that close, you don’t need to make that many changes.”

I love how people believe Smith has input in the selection. His best mate missed out in Game 1 ffs

Smith himself has said he has input into selection.

As if he doesn't. They'd be morons not to ask for his input.

 

[POPEYE]

That's because he surrounded by Queensland origin players

That's because Bellamy nurtured the Qld players that make the difference, if he can't nullify them who can, couple more years and the problem might solve itself . . . that is if Qld stop growing the best RL players on the planet

Brett Morris in his prime would have absolutely destroyed that fckwit Gagai. Would have been far too quick for him.

I don't think Loz stays. He seemed to be over it before this series.
