Queensland coach Billy Slater addresses his State of Origin coaching future in comments reported by multiple outlets. Slater discusses what comes next for him in the role, while also reflecting on his development as a coach. Across the reports, he expresses strong support and gratitude toward his NSW mentor, Laurie Daley. The coverage focuses on Slater’s outlook on continuing (or determining) his future within the State of Origin coaching setup and highlights the influence of Daley’s guidance. Rather than centering on specific on-field outcomes, the articles present Slater’s remarks as a combination of career planning and acknowledgment of mentorship. All three sources convey the same general theme: Slater talks about his next steps connected to State of Origin and underscores Daley’s role in his coaching journey. The reporting does not indicate a definitive decision in the excerpted summaries, instead emphasizing Slater’s ongoing consideration of his future and his continued respect for Daley.
