State of Origin: Blues coach Michael Maguire has addressed the media following his side's triumph over the Maroons.
New South Wales coach Michael Maguire has fired a final parting over claims the Blues don’t have the same “passion” for State of Origin as Queensland .“Everyone told me we don’t have passion. We don’t have this or that or everything in NSW. It’s completely wrong,” he said.
Not only did NSW overcome a 1-0 series deficit to win the series, but they also became just the third Blues side ever, and first since 2005, to win a decider at Suncorp stadium. The path to Origin glory was littered with adversity essentially from kick off in Game I, when Sua’ali’i was sent off after seven minutes following a sickening high shot on Maroons fullback Reece Walsh.Queensland would emphatically win the series opener in Sydney, with many believing Billy Slater’s side were cruising to their third consecutive Origin win.
One of the key selection calls made by Maguire between Game’s I and II of the series was replacing Hynes with Mitchell Moses, who’d played hardly any footy up to that point.led the Blues to victory in Game II and history in Game III. “Which is really nice to see when we all stood together on the field after the game and shared a moment.”The Blues coach highlighted one act from his squad that typified the togetherness of the group.
