What Michael Maguire has achieved in such a short period of time is remarkable.
Let’s start with the fight – if you could even call it that – because it explains why this NSW side just achieved what so many have failed to do in a State of Origin decider in Brisbane.
Blues backrower Cameron Murray wasn’t having a bar of it. He raced from the bench on which he had been sitting to dive into the thick of the action to support his teammate.. Maroons forward Jeremiah Nanai was also sent for 10 minutes while NRL officials ordered NSW’s non-playing squad member, Haumole Olakau’atu, to watch from the sheds.
Two years ago in the decider at Suncorp, centre Matt Burton found himself isolated in a fight, surrounded by Maroons players just like To’o, and none of his teammates came to his rescue. Clearly scorned by what happened in Melbourne, the Maroons produced one of the bravest defensive display in recent memory.
