Ricky Stuart's name is set to enter the conversation as the NSW Blues hunt for a new State of Origin coach - but there are fears balancing the job with Canberra's premiership dream would be too demanding.
NSW coach Brad Fittler has walked away from his post on Thursday, just days after pitching for a contract extension.
Stuart has immediately been floated as a potential target for Blues supremos, but the Canberra Raiders coach would need to balance the job with his club duties given he is contracted until 2025.
