This is why when Daley was chosen as coach for the Blues I said that if you think that your selection woes will cease, you're kidding yourselves.
The funny part of this all, is that when Daley gets pushed(and he will get pushed) out of the job, he'll mosey on back to being a selector again.
Daley and Bozo selected all the teams that were trounced by the Maroons between 2006 and 2010. Bozo has remained as incumbent selector for the entire decade. Daley has had his fingers in that same mess of a pie as a selector and now as coach he also gets a big say in who is selected.
The result: A record breaking(and probably never to be repeated by either team) run of losses for NSW and humiliatingly, the biggest ever losing margin in the history of the Origin format. That is the fruit of Daley and Bozo.
The enemies of Blues victory don't wear Maroon*. They wear sky blue jerseys and run the NSW show. Run it right into the ground, that is.
*Consider that there are people above Bozo and Daley in the Blues hierarchy who appoint them to their jobs. Those people seemingly don't have any problem with Daley and Bozo's track record for the last decade. NONE WHATSOEVER. As a Maroon fan, I sincerely hope that Bozo and Daley stay healthy and have long careers in the NSWRL structures. Decades long. They are doing a superb job on behalf of Queensland.
Having been the only coach in the last ten years to have achieved a victory in Origin for NSW only increases Daley's standing with the NSWRL. He might be moved out of the coaching position, but won't be utterly jettisoned due to that fact. Just shuffled to another position of influence.
NSW will win another series sometime but dire selection strategies are sure to dog the Blues for years to come thanks to Bozo and Daley and many others. Don't throw the hanky away just yet guys.
