Laurie Daley is poised to go with experience when he picks his New South Wales side for Origin I despite a number of rising talents impressing in the annual City v Country clash at Tamworth on Sunday.

City trounced Country in a match that produced over seventy points.

“A lot of those guys on the field today would be still early into their careers so it was good to see,” Daley told NRL.com.

“We’ve done a bit of that over the last couple of years but succession planning is not the be-all and end-all.

“You’ve still got to be able to win Series with the team that you think is right and you’ve got to pick the best players.

“The best players will always get picked, regardless of what age they are but if there is someone there that deserves to be picked he’ll be picked.”

Daley was then pressed on the chances of boom Penrith forward Bryce Cartwright who starred for the City outfit.

“He was good, a lot of other players were good tonight,” Daley said.

“It was an open game of footy which probably suited the guys with a bit more flamboyant football in them.

“You always get a bit out of it. It was an entertaining game of footy so the skill levels were high so that was good to see.”
