Daley’s shock backline shake-up revealed as Blues side set to be announced — LIVE
Blues coach Laurie Daley has swung the axe, making wholesale changes to his team in a bid to shift his squad’s fortunes and win the Suncorp Stadium decider.
Daley has made the brutal decision to drop five players, with Brian To’o, Victor Radley, Kotoni Staggs, Api Koroisau and Dylan Lucas not named after featuring in NSW’s Game II loss at the MCG.
Across the 19 players, a total of six changes were made by Daley in one of the most significant Origin team shake-ups in recent memory.
Jack Bostock has been named on the wing in To’o’s place, while Stephen Crichton and Bradman Best make up the centres.
