The search for a head coach for the New Zealand Test team might be leading in a surprising direction, with former New South Wales coach Laurie Daley reportedly linked to the job.
According to The Mole on WWOS, Daley “has emerged as a shock contender” for the head coach job that was recently vacated by David Kidwell, as a result of the Kiwis’ disastrous Rugby League World Cup campaign.
As it so happens, the Blues haven’t won anything in years either, so in a way, Daley seems uniquely qualified for the job.
Daley coached New South Wales for 15 matches, with a career winning percentage of 40%.
