The 2016 Rugby League State of Origin Series is set to be the biggest yet.
Daley showed his hand on Wednesday night when he cut Tyson Frizell from the side, choosing to stack the pack with monstrous front-rowers who will attempt to steamroller the Maroons straight through the middle.Although the starting 13 is yet to be finalised, it looks a near certainty that Paul Gallen and Aaron Woods will start in the front row, leaving James Tamou, David Klemmer and Andrew Fifita to come off the bench one after the other in a bid to provide constant go forward for their side
That strategy gives master kicker Adam Reynolds the best chance of doing damage on sixth tackle plays, however the downside if things don’t go to plan could be catastrophic.The only player on the bench capable of playing on an edge is centre/five-eighth Dylan Walker, leaving them thin if either edge back-rower, Josh Jackson or Boyd Cordner, goes down with an injury.

But it’s an injury to Robbie Farah which would cruel their chances even more, with the star hooker admitting a Plan B hadn’t yet been hatched if he goes down with an early injury.“It hasn’t been discussed,” Farah revealed on Wednesday.“We’ve got Walks (Walker) there, so I’m not sure what kind of role we’ll play him in just yet, that will evolve over the course of the week.

“I guess last year, because we didn’t have a hooker on the bench last year either, so we threw Josh Jackson in there at training — just at dummy half in case something happened for him to be ready.“We’ve got someone like Greg Bird who could jump in there in a heartbeat. The service might not be that crisp but you know they’ll tackle their ass off in the middle.

It’s not likely to be an answer that fills Blues fans with confidence, particularly as Farah goes into game one under a concussion cloud after the heavy head knock that hospitalised the veteran No.9 after an attempted tackle went wrong two weeks ago against the Bulldogs.Farah was back into a full contact session on Wednesday for the first time since that incident but he responded confidently when quizzed about his condition.
