NRL: Michael Maguire and Jake Trbojevic front the media after the NSW Blues' loss to the Queensland maroons in Game 1 of the 2024 State of Origin Series.
New South Wales coach Michael Maguire has declared Joseph Sua’ali’i’s send-off a “ massive call ” and questioned the inconsistencies in officiating after the Blues were forced to 12 men for 72 minutes in their loss to Queensland.— much to the surprise of captain Jake Trbojevic — after his shoulder made direct contact with Reece Walsh’s head, leaving the Queensland fullback laying motionless on the turf.
“He was falling... I’d have to have another look at it but I think it was a massive call for a game like this.” “I’d imagine he has a fair bit of emotion rolling around inside at the moment, but one thing we’re going to do is we get around him — that’s what we do,” Maguire said when asked about how the 20-year-old is feeling.NSW were forced to adjust on the run as Queensland capitalised off the one-man advantage by scoring two tries in five minutes down the edge Sua’ali’i would’ve been defending on.
When asked about his make-up of his bench Maguire quipped: “I don’t think anyone has ever planned for a send-off in an Origin game.” “I guess this one was line ball because he was actually falling and the height of that just at last moment had Joey clip him a bit. But a big call in a big game.”Maguire was “super proud” of his team’s efforts regardless of the 38-10 result — and is “confident” ahead of game two.
