Blayke Brailey, a member of the NSW Blues extended squad during last year's State of Origin series, is setting his sights higher this year, hoping to don the iconic blue jersey under the watchful eye of coach Michael Maguire.
In a bold declaration of his intentions to represent NSW in the upcoming Origin series and beyond, the Cronulla Sharks hooker knows he will have to compete against the best of the NRL.
Players like Apisai Koroisau (Wests Tigers), Damien Cook (South Sydney Rabbitohs), and Reece Robson (North Queensland Cowboys) will be vying for the same coveted spot in the squad.
Brailey has been in stellar form for the Sharks in recent seasons, playing a pivotal role in the team's spine and setting the pace in the middle of the field.
After a standout performance against the Canberra Raiders, where he caught the eye of coach Michael Maguire, Brailey is ready to take his game to the next level.
As the club enjoys a bye round, Brailey is focused on honing his skills and proving his worth on the field.
With a steely determination and unwavering commitment, Brailey is determined to make his mark in Origin and etch his name in the annals of rugby league history.
