The Coalition's state election win could propel two St George MPs on to bigger roles.
Oatley MP Mark Coure is tipped to become a minister in Gladys Berejiklian's revamped cabinet while Kogarah MP Chris Minns is expected to challenge for the Labor Party leadership.
Mr Coure achieved one of the Liberal Party's best results on Saturday, gaining a four per swing while many of his colleagues were struggling.
He has 60.6 per cent of the votes two-party preferred over Labor rival Lucy Mannering, who suffered the major handicap of her leader's disastrous comments on Asian workers taking Australian jobs.
Mr Coure won Oatley in 2011 by only a few hundred votes from the popular Labor member Kevin Greene.
In the last eight years, he has turned Oatley from the state's most marginal seat into safe Liberal territory.
Mr Minns is considered likely to seek the Labor Party leadership again, with colleagues turning on Michael Daley in the aftermath of the election.
Jodi McKay, who was Labor's transport Minister in the last term, may also put her name forward.
Mr Minns, who was Labor's spokesman on water, contested the leadership with Michael Daley after Luke Foley resigned in November last year.
Mr Minns lost the caucus vote 33-12.
Before the ballot, Mr Minns said,if he elected NSW Labor leader, he would campaign to "dump planning laws that are ruining one of the most beautiful cities on earth".
"We have suburbs across the Sydney basin that are being absolutely destroyed by the NSW Government," he said.
"We don't have to accept the developer's vision for Sydney. we don't have to accept the concrete jungle, limited open space and absolute or next to no public transport.
"We certainly don't have to accept what the Premier is laying out for us, and that is immigration policy is responsible for congestion and overdevelopment in our suburbs.
'It is her planning regime that is singly destroying Sydney and we need to do something about it."
Mr Minns said at the time , whoever was elected the leader faced "a near insurmountable task".
The new leader would have to "unite the party, provide a bold policy platform and convince the voters of this state to kick out the government and elect us in their stead".
"The only shot the Labor Party has, in my opinion, is to present a bold, positive and optimistic plan for NSW and get people excited about change," he said.
"It's very difficult to get people excited about change if they absolutely no idea what it looks like.
"Ultimately we must present a plan that families and young people can get behind."
Mr Minns said, if he was elected Labor leader, he would put young people and families at the centre of all decision making.
Decisions would be made for the long-term future of NSW, not short term policy making, he said.
"I think we have been very good at explaining to the people of this state why they should vote against this government; I think we have been less good at explaining why they should vote for Labor," he said.
