The New South Wales Blues will have a new coach in 2018 after the NSWRL decided not to renew Laurie Daley’s contract for the next State of Origin series.

“I’ve enjoyed my time working for New South Wales Rugby League,” Daley said.

“I understand that the business is results-driven and I respect the decision of the Board to go in another direction.

“I will always support New South Wales and I wish their team and their coach every success in the future.”
