New South Wales Blues coach Laurie Daley confirmed his 22‑man squad for Game 3 of the 2026 State of Origin on Sunday. The list leaves out winger Brian To’o. Fans and media have voiced criticism. It is the first time To’o has missed a State of Origin match since his debut.
Daley said that change fits the team’s needs for the deciding game and that the decision is set to be judged following the series ends. He noted the omission adds extra pressure on the Blues before the final showdown.
