NSW VB Blues coach Laurie Daley has today announced a 37-man squad to participate in the 2014 Under 20s Origin Pathway Camp at Narrabeen next weekend, with Wests Tigers' young guns Luke Brooks, Mitchell Moses and Salesi Funaki included.
The camp, which will be run over two days, will include presentations on Origin history and culture, individual position sessions with Blues coaching staff and an on field session lead by Daley.
These camps are something that Ricky Stuart brought into the Origin system when he was in charge and I continue them because I believe they have some real merit to them, NSW VB Blues Coach Laurie Daley said.
Aaron Woods and Boyd Cordner made their State of Origin debuts this year and they were members of these squads in previous years.
I am very excited about this years group. a player like Dylan Walker, who has progressed through Holden Cup, VB NSW Cup and made his NRL debut in a star-studded South Sydney side in just one year, is someone Blues fans should be keeping an eye on.
Several players from the group have already had NRL experience in Luke Brooks, Kelepi Tanginoa, Jake Trbojevic, Clinton Gutherson and Dylan Walker with a number of other participants expected to debut in season 2014.
Players will arrive at the NSWRL Centre of Excellence, Narrabeen, at 4pm on Friday, November 29 and break camp at 5.30pm on Saturday, November 30.
