Laurie Daley is the $4.00 favourite with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au to be named the next coach of the New South Wales Blues.
Jim Dymock is on the second line of betting at $4.50, followed by Trent Barrett ($5.00), Phil Gould ($6.00) and Brad Fittler ($9.00).
“Daley is a New South Wales legend, having led the Blues to several Origin series wins as a player, and has completed a decent coaching apprenticeship, so he’s just shading the rest in the market,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.
“In saying that, the top four in the betting aren’t separated by much so it’s anyone’s game right now.”
Mick Potter ($26), Andrew Johns ($31), Des Hasler ($34) and Peter Sterling ($101) are also in the market.
