New South Wales State of Origin coach Laurie Daley (pictured) seems no closer to an understanding as to who will be the Blues halves pairing for Origin game one.

With Mitchell Pearce yet to play a game and still serving a suspension after his latest off field debacle and Trent Hodkinson out of sorts at the winless Newcastle, the focus has turned to the Canberra pair of Blake Austin and Aidan Sezer who have piloted the Raiders to third place on the NRL ladder.

Daley though says with the Canberra pair yet to have proved themselves in the big games, he’s not sure they have the level of experience needed to survive in Origin footy.
