Laurie Daley - Post-playing

Post-playing

As of August 2012, Daley is the current coach of the New South Wales Blues, and since 2008 has been the coach of the Country Origin team.

In September 2007, Daley left his commentary position with Fox Sports and signed a contract with the Nine Network to co-present much of their rugby league coverage, from appearing on the weekly rugby league topic show The Footy Show, to commentating on Nine's weekend league coverage.

In 2009 Daley left the Nine Network and returned to Foxtel.

In 2010 he stepped down as NSW team selector. He was the first person from the New South Wales administration to quit after five consecutive series defeats.

On 21 August 2012 it was reported that Laurie Daley would be the NSW State of Origin coach from 2013, taking over from former Canberra team mate Ricky Stuart who, under NSW policy of their Orign coach not being a current NRL club coach, was ruled out after signing to coach the Parramatta Eels in 2013. Daley got the job in preference to other candidates including Trent Barrett, Brad Fittler and Daniel Anderson.
