All three outlets describe the makeup of NSW’s new State of Origin squad under coach Brad Daley as prioritising speed and mobility. They report that both Origin coaches are selecting players with similar attributes, suggesting the match-level style is shifting toward faster, more dynamic performances this season. The articles use a “rocks-or-diamonds” description—attributed to a player—to convey the dual nature of how the new approach may look on the field, while also pointing to the overall theme of greater movement and pace. While the sources do not provide detailed team lists or specific selections, they agree on the central point: the coaching selections aim to refresh the spectacle by altering how the squads operate during games. Overall, they frame Daley’s squad as part of a broader adjustment by both coaches, with emphasis on quicker play rather than purely traditional, slower patterns. The common message is that the upcoming Origin series should look and feel different due to the composition and athletic profile of the teams.
