Hope this doesn’t come back to bite me in the arse, but liking Daley’s selections!
I fear for the safety of your bottom.
I think the only good outcome of this will be that it will most likely be Laurie Daley’s last Origin as coach.
unless we win, then he will be lauded over ![]()
I don’t even think a series win will save Daley. I’m pretty sure the NSWRL are already looking for a replacement.
one can only hope Steve
Is that confidence in the Blues? The only better selection choice Daley could have made was to drop Cleary.
Hopefully this side of the border we’re all signing aye aye yippee yippee aye ![]()
I feel for To’o though, had a couple of bad moments, but not sure he deserved to be dropped. At least we get to see him in action on Friday then! It would be nice to put a convincing win in against the bunnies.
There is so much negativity about NSW and the selections in social media, that it actually makes me nervous that NSW might pull a rabbit out of the hat.
