Minute-by-minute report: Rookie Maroons coach Billy Slater got his career off to the perfect start with a thrilling 16-10 win over the Blues in Sydney
Penalty against the Maroons for slowing the play-the-ball. NSW kick to halfway. It’s now or never.Wow! NSW somehow wriggle from their own line into a breakway that looks destined to end in a try with Tedesco chipping through, but Holmes comes across and smothers in one of the great acts of Origin desperation. That was incredible! Queensland have shown extraordinary resilience in defence.The game is still on NSW’s terms in midfield but Queensland are giving them no space to execute combinations.
The kick to halfway is soon compounded with a set restart. The Blues are all over this. NO! A wicked loose pass from the left corner is scooped up by Munster and he legs it to halfway. Queensland just need to settle - but Kaufusi knocks on unopposed! These players are exhausted. The pace has been unrelenting and now the errors are starting to creep in. Massive final 15 minutes with the Blues pushing.
