You know, Laurie Daly doesn't have a contract beyond this year.

He's picked the side to play a certain way.

If it doesn't pan out that way, what's he going to do?

How are they going to change?

Is he going to be able to change on the run?

You know, we saw last year he came in, they lost.

His record in origin is, I think, maybe five, six, seven series.

He's only won one.

There's immense pressure on Laurie Daly going into this origin series.

Immense pressure.

Well, and Laurie has said he may not go beyond this series anyway.

I mean, there's been no certainty around Laurie Daly and his future at the helm of New South Wales.

But I think, you know, his record suggests...

And granted, in his early years of coaching New South Wales, he was up against that great Queensland team that was the dynasty, right, that Billy was part of at times.

So, yes, you can explain that away to an extent, but now he's come back.

Last year, they lost a series many expected them to win.

I would imagine they're favourites again this year.

I haven't looked at the bookies' odds, but I'd imagine they are because they always are.

So I think there's immense pressure on Laurie.

If they've got this wrong, and we've seen Gus Gould has already said basically they've got their team wrong, it's a massive blunder, a massive blunder.
