2013 EMERGING BLUES SQUAD

 

NSW VB Blues Coach Laurie Daley has today picked a 22-man Emerging Blues Squad for a three day camp to be held in January.

 

The players are all NRL experienced and have been handpicked by Daley and the NSWRL High Performance Unit with the consideration that they will wear the famous sky blue jersey in the very near future.

 

"Some of the guys have already played at a State of Origin level," Daley said.

 

"We want these players Origin ready from the moment they receive the phone call and camps like these are essential for us to get them into that space.

 

"You look at a guy like Josh Reynolds who has progressed through the VB NSW Cup and starred this year for the Bulldogs. It is about helping players like him transition through to this next level of Rugby League."

 

The Camp will take place over three days at Coogee beginning Friday, January 18.
