I know plenty of former Blues legends are telling everyone to get off Daley’s back and trust the process.
But seriously, after watching NSW get completely mauled in Melbourne, I’m getting a headache trying to comprehend a number of Daley’s decisions for the State of Origin decider at Suncorp Stadium on July 8.
In fact, if I was rating this squad on what we saw in Origins I and II, as well as the NRL form leading into the series decider, I’d struggle to give it more than four out of 10.
Watch live: Daley explains decision to axe To’o and overhaul backline
NSW coach Laurie Daley has made five changes as the Blues bid for one of the biggest upsets in recent Origin history at Suncorp Stadium, with NSW mainstay Brian To’o the most notable casualty of a backline shake-up.
To’o, Kotoni Staggs and Tolutau Koula have all been dropped from the Blues’ game two backline, with Dolphins flyer Jack Bostock handed an Origin debut on the left wing as Stephen Crichton and Bradman Best also come in.
Bruising back-rowers Liam Martin and Haumole Olakau’atu have also been given the nod as NSW chase just the fourth Blues win in a decider on Queensland soil on July 8.

Coach Laurie Daley has wielded the axe on his NSW team ahead of the State of Origin series decider, with Blues mainstay Brian To'o and Brisbane star Kotoni Staggs among four players dropped.
Needing to defy history to reclaim the shield, Daley made a series of changes for game three on July 8 in Brisbane, headlined by Canterbury's Stephen Crichton returning to the centres after missing game two with a shoulder injury.
Crichton replaces Staggs in the No.4 jersey after the Brisbane centre had a tough night in the Blues' 44-24 capitulation to Queensland at the MCG on June 17.
