Laurie Daley has responded to speculation about his health and future as coach of NSW's men's State of Origin team.

Speaking on Big Sports Breakfast radio Wednesday morning, Daley cleared up suggestions about his health saying "I'm not crook", that he's healthy and "going well," after reports emerged on Tuesday night a health scare had led him to stepping down from his role with the Blues.

Speculation has surrounded whether Daley would remain in the role after NSW claimed the this year's shield in a Suncorp decider - his second series win across two stints in charge.

A decision is reportedly understood to be coming in the near future, with no official word yet.

On Tuesday night, News Corp first reported Daley was quitting the role due to his health.

The Raiders and Blues legend and Indigenous Team of the Century member told News Corp "I do know what I want to do," and "I will let people know later in the week what I'm doing".

Daley didn't go into detail about his Blues job speaking on radio Wednesday, saying there has been no announcement yet and that he'd provide an update when he's ready.

He did however, in addressing concerns about his health, tell the program he is "good as gold".

"There's no issue with me...I feel like I could coach again," he said.

It was former Queensland Maroons star Paul 'Fatty' Vautin, speaking on a podcast, who suggested Daley had made the decision to quit as Blues coach.

Daley has been downplaying speculations about his future in the role in recent times.

Pressure was already mounting mid-series as NSW claimed a come-from-behind win in game one before a second half capitulation at the MCG forced a decider, which the Blues won in a statement as underdogs.

The success prompted Daley to hit back at critics after his side lifted the shield.

After a decade as a Blue during his playing career, Daley first took on the coaching job for five series from 2013.

He then returned to the Blues head coaching role in 2025.
