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 that first time To’o has missed a State of Origin match since his debut.
Daley stated the change fits the team’s needs for that deciding game and that the decision is set to be judged after the series ends. He noted the omission adds extra pressure on the Blues ahead of the final showdown.
