The Agenda Setters Rugby League on Channel 7 David Riccio on State of Origin Blues squad – Tonight on The Agenda Setters: Rugby League Corey Parker (CP), David Riccio (DR), Aaron Woods (AW) and Luke Keary (LK) discuss the biggest topics of Rugby League.
David Riccio discusses the 14 players “overlooked by Laurie Daly.”
CP: A very different looking side that went down to Queensland in that Game 3 (last year). A lot of casualties. Here’s what Laurie Daly has done while wielding the axe. 14 players won’t be involved in that. Some are injured and not available, some have not been picked based on form.
DR: Yeah, and not only the players that you see there on the screen, the likes of Dylan Edwards and Latrell we’ve spoken about, Luai, King and Haas, and the list goes on, but ultimately also too, Jackson Ford. Now a lot of fans out there asking, where’s Jackson Ford? He’s been absolutely sensational for the Warriors.
He misses out. Keaon Koloamatangi, another big out. Overlooked by Laurie Daly.
And as I said, Dylan Edwards and Api Koroisau, both also omissions from this side. So some good players are missing this team, of which has led to a lot of debate from New South Wales fans.
Ivan Cleary to replace Laurie Daly, as Laurie is “considering walking away” from Origin coaching
DR: This has been a street corner tip doing the rounds, and it’s something the New South Wales Rugby League aren’t willing to discuss, or at least aren’t confirming the tip. They just want to focus on this series, and the tip is that win or lose, Laurie is considering walking away. Now, as I said, there’s nothing confirmed, and they’re happy for Laurie to progress as he is. But at the same time, the news this week around Ivan Cleary, and openly declaring his interest coaching representative football in the future, it’s created this natural path of discussion now
