Michael Maguire made the change to head to the mountains ahead of their 2024 series win.<\/p>\n
Daley returned to the helm last year for his second stint as Blues coach after Maguire\u2019s move to the Broncos and eventual premiership, but after a strong game one NSW suffered a devastating 2-1 series loss under Daley.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s something which the former Blues representative wants to turn around if he is to lead his state into the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne thing you know with an Origin camp, you\u2019ve got to make it a bit of fun as well, and the players these days, they certainly don\u2019t bond the way that we did when we were playing.\u201d Daley told SEN.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey bond over a lot of different things, and golf is certainly a big part of the make-up of it.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of football players, they just love getting out there. It\u2019s certainly not my thing, but some of the players \u2026 absolutely love it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Game one of the 2026 State of Origin series is at Accor Stadium in Sydney, before the series heads to Melbourne for game two, and Brisbane for game three.<\/p>\n
