Feel for him. Tough gig. Especially against this champion Qld team.

Doesn't matter who they replace him with nothing will change. They will just pick the same out of form players out of positions regardless who is coach.

[Makaveli]

Hardly surprising, they should of won this year. Had to go.

Brad Arthur.

Ricky stuart, surely not serious.

[Dr Zaius]

That's fair. He spilled the lollies this year. Should have fallen on his own sword.

David Furner
Brad Fittler
Geoff Toovey
John Cartwright

Spring to mind.

Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart slams NSWRL's treatment of Blues coach Laurie Daley

Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has slammed the NSW Rugby League's "disgraceful" treatment of Blues coach Laurie Daley after the State of Origin mentor was sacked.

"Laurie is one of the greatest legends of Origin football, and being a Blue he should have been treated with a lot more respect than the way it was done," Stuart said. "I thought it was disgraceful how it was done. He deserves a lot more respect in regards to how he lost his position."

Hahahaha you know it won't though, right?

**** I love NSW

[RedRaider]

Fittler would be short odds I reckon. No current club coaching and has done well coaching City. Been there done that at Origin level too. May be a lever to get NSW most successful coach back in the fold as well. Feel very sorry for Loz but it's a results based game.

[Green eyed Mick]

Fittler would be my pick given Johns has already ruled himself out. He would need help though. Someone like Furner would be a good option as a forwards/assistant coach IMO.

Whoever they select as coach, I would like to see them go back to the good old days when everyone was competing for a spot right up until selection night. Anointing players months before game one breeds complacency, entitlement and ties the hands of the coach.

[gangrenous]

Fittler is a lay down misere to be made coach.

If only because he's a terrible choice and it's nsw.

[gerg]

You just know that Fittler would pick Pearce with his Roosters affiliation.

nsw sack daley over drinking culture but no1 pick to replace him is space cadet boozehound

I agree with Stuart. The way this was handled was terrible. The NSWRL should have allowed Daley to come out first and say he wasn't putting himself forward to extend his contract rather than tell the world he was sacked.

Anyway, it was ultimately some poor selections that cost Daley his job. If you want to change the culture of the team you don't start the process by immediately selecting players who have just been dumped by their club team for off-field indiscretions.

[Northern Raider]

Tend to agree. Daley getting shown the door was expected. The way it has been handled not so good. A lot like the situation with Henry at the Titans.

NSW need to think outside the box a bit here. Not sure putting a bunch of booze hounds (Fittler, Johns) in charge is going to work. You don't have to be an 'Origin Legend' to get the team playing at their peak.

[Beejay]

Daley got sacked in part because the Boozy culture continued under him.

We need change...

Come on down Freddy and Joey!!
