Westpac NSW Blues coach Laurie Daley is gearing up for challenging decisions as he evaluates strong contenders for the backline ahead of naming the Origin teams post-Round 11.
Current reports highlight standout performances from key players, including Latrell Mitchell and Stephen Crichton.
Mitchell delivered an impressive showing with the Rabbitohs, while Crichton had a remarkable second half against the Raiders.
Daley recognizes that players are in formidable form, making the selection process increasingly competitive.
He acknowledges that some deserving individuals might not make the final cut.
Having previously coached the Blues from 2013 to 2017, during which he experienced both losses and a notable victory in the 2014 series, Daley is back in a leadership role after Michael Maguire transitioned to coach the Brisbane Broncos.
