Blues legend Steve Roach urges coach Daley to select Adam Doueihi as a utility for State of Origin I based on his performance.
A Blues legend has called on NSW coach Laurie Daley to select a surprise utility player for State of Origin I - Wests Tigers' Adam Doueihi.
And Code Sports stats reveal Doueihi is currently the best running half in the NRL.
A 17-game NSW champion, Steve 'Blocker' Roach believes Doueihi would be the "perfect" utility player off the bench following his blistering form for a resurgent Wests Tigers.
Doueihi scored two tries against Canberra last round at Leichhardt and will be primed to continue his stellar form in Sunday's big game against Cronulla.
Daley has multiple utility options including Doueihi, Canterbury's Matt Burton, Sydney Roosters' Connor Watson, Canberra's Ethan Strange, Manly's Tolu Koula and Brisbane's Kotoni Staggs.
