Six Rabbitohs in emerging Blues squad

NSW Blues coach Laurie Daley has named his emerging Blues squad for a training camp in January 2015 and it is littered with members of South Sydney’s premiership squad.

The list of six Rabbitohs is headed by halves combination Adam Reynolds and Luke Keary with speedsters Alex Johnston and Dylan Walker also included.

Daley excited to have the opportunity to work with Keary at the camp.

“Luke’s a wonderful young player. The way the rules are if he’s going to play Origin it’s going to be with New South Wales,” Daley said.

“We think he’s got the potential to play for the Blues. I’ve spoken to Luke and he’s excited to be a part of the camp.”

The squad included seven players who were in the Kangaroos Four Nations squad and Daley felt the camp could provide a learning curve for them in terms of understanding Origin football.

“It’s great we’ve got seven players from that [Kangaroos] squad,” Daley said.

“They’ve never played Origin before and it’s a great step up for them to come into our camp to see what New South Wales is all about. Hopefully they’ll take a lot out of it.”
