The upcoming State of Origin series in New South Wales is stirring excitement as the focus shifts to player selections, especially with Magic Round approaching.
The conversation revolves around whether to maintain the current team, which succeeded last year, or to opt for players who are currently performing well.
Incumbent players have proven their skill, yet there's a pressing question for new New South Wales coach, Laurie Daley: "Do you pick and stick with the incumbents who got the job done last year, or do you turn to the in-form players of the competition?"
This dilemma highlights the pressure on players who are underperforming compared to those excelling in their recent matches.
The decision-making process will weigh past successes against present performances, impacting the team's lineup and potential success in the series.
As anticipation builds, the selection choices made will be critical for New South Wales' strategy moving forward.
