So that's been a big focus for both teams, I suppose, so they can create some ruck speed for their (hookers) to get out and cause some havoc. But after losing game one in Sydney the Blues are in a precarious position, needing to tie the series in Perth and then win as underdogs in Brisbane to retain the shield. "There's been a lot said during the week, but to be honest we've been focusing on ourselves and what we need to do to get right." Blues coach Brad Fittler was none too please about the Queensland tactics, and the fact Klein essentially kept his whistle in his pocket for most of the night. The 18 postcodes were picked because they "best embody the Queensland spirit of mateship and triumph in the face of diversity", the Maroons say. Klein was accused of letting the Maroons slow down the New South Wales ruck in the State of Origin opener.

Clearly making good on Fittler's promise to wrestle more tonight. But the Blues attack from close again. That sin-binning precipitated that try and I think everyone was shocked to see it. And none of that was so egregious, in my opinion, to warrant a sin-binning. "All of those six agains he gave to get them into sin-bin territory, you'd need a magnifying glass to work out exactly what had gone wrong or why it needed to be penalised. He has a level of dummy-half craft that Damien Cook lacks, but makes up for with blinding speed. They go left, and the passing was too slow.

“I have got to pick a team that I think is going to win, and I make no apologies for that,” Fittler said during the week. The Maroons now only have to win one of the final two matches - neither hosted in NSW - to snaffle an unlikely shield. Jake Trbojevic makes a welcome return in the pack, while the replacement of the centres reflects the inability of the Blues to stretch the play in Sydney. The starting XIII now contains seven Panthers. Speaking earlier of the NSW changes to the ruck, Billy Slater reckons they’ve made the Blues a more dangerous proposition, telling Nine: “I see a huge strength in their dummy half position. NSW crossed for six tries that night but none of the tryscorers are in the line-up this evening. 2 mins: Good early start for the NSW pack who deny Queensland any space on their first carry out of defence. Queensland make little ground in response and Cherry-Evans kicks early in the set to buy territory. A couple of huge let-offs early for the Maroons, who now have great attacking field position. It doesn’t work though as Tedesco wriggles and spins through a couple of tacklers and breaks the line! A few hits up the middle prepare the ground for NSW to spin the ball to the left but it’s sloppy, the ball goes to ground at the centre position and ends up dribbling harmlessly into touch. 10 mins: Another early Queensland kick turning the NSW defence around and sending them back to the 10m line. This time Cleary is within range and he will go for the two points.

The NSW Blues have squared the 2022 Origin series with a dominant 44-12 victory over the Maroons in Game Two in Perth.

The Panthers and Roosters play Friday night in a clash that could be heavily affected with 11 players from those two clubs playing in tonight's game. “To come out and play like that was really pleasing after a disappointing game one. With fatigue taking its toll on Queensland, Luai pounced, beating Jeremiah Nanai and Dane Gagai to score the try that put the game out of reach. I thought Nathan read the game really well… "I think that first 50 minutes was a good contest but then NSW started playing with a little bit more energy than us. The halfback's conversion made it 20-12.

Nathan Cleary was voted the man of the match in State of Origin Game 2 after an inspired performance for the Blues against the…

He is one hell of a player.” “It ranks up there with the best of all time in what he did in that period. As the game went on, he got into another stratosphere.” I think that second half tonight was one of the truly great halfback performances in Origin history. “I just try and play my best for my family and teammates and the state we are representing. Some of these passes, his kicking, his running game, he is controlling the tempo of the game.

New South Wales has destroyed Queensland 44-12 in Perth thanks to a Nathan Cleary masterclass and the series now heads to a decider in Brisbane on July 13.

NSW went on to win the series. I just want to play my best for my family and my state, we’re very blessed to wear this jersey and now we have one more to go,” Cleary said on Channel 9.

Referee Ashley Klein awarded the Blues four repeat sets for Queensland ruck infringements but eventually he had enough and sent Felise Kaufusi to the bin. HUGE ...

It was a monumental effort, but the biggest danger the Maroons faced was assuming they were out of the woods when back up to 13 men. New South Wales started the game at a tremendous pace and enjoyed the lion's share of possession in the opening quarter of an hour. New South Wales are well and truly back in contention for this year's State of Origin crown after a dominant thrashing of the Maroons at Perth Stadium.

Perth fans revelled in the State of Origin glow on Sunday night as the NSW Blues demolished the QLD Maroons to level the series.

Some Queensland commentators are still crying foul after a controversial sin bin that had Maroons legends Paul Vautin and Darren Lockyer wanting answers.

A grubber from Daly Cherry-Evans then sat up in the in goal, with Brian To'o seemingly missing it. The Blues would be first to eventually get onto the scoreboard with a penalty goal in the 11th minute after a strip from the Queensland defence. Ponga had received the ball from Daly Cherry-Evans, with Ben Hunt playing the link from Harry Grant to the halfback.

It made Nathan Cleary get the ball in better positions and then he picked them apart.” Fittler also split the minutes between Koroisau and Cook well and was careful not to inject Talakai too early into the contest, holding him back in case Queensland made a comeback. All NSW needed was for Trbojevic to do all the clean-up work in the middle in defence — and he did just that. The rest of the pack was solid too, with Payne Haas and Isaah Yeo running with plenty of venom through the middle, fighting for every metre. Angus Crichton made every run count with 51 metres from five carries along with two tackle busts and a try, fulfilling his responsibilities off the bench. Luai did have a few poor missed tackles in the first half but made up for it in the second, although he was overshadowed by his halves partner. Paulo ran for 129 metres, busted three tackles and offloaded twice, providing much-needed impact from the bench. Let’s start with Jake Trbojevic. The Sea Eagles forward may not be the most explosive in the game but he does not need to be. This time around though, both Luai and Cleary adapted under pressure to steer the Blues to victory. It was somewhat of a gamble from Brad Fittler to hand Burton his debut. Burton’s emergence leaves Fittler with quite the headache should Jack Wighton be available for selection for Game 3. The spotlight was on Jarome Luai and Nathan Cleary after Game 1. It was a typically tireless performance out the back from James Tedesco, who continues to lead from the front — both with his voice and actions on the field.

In a must-win game, the Blues couldn't crack the Maroons during the first eight minutes of the second half when Queensland second rower Felise Kaufusi remained in the sin bin, however, it was all one-way traffic once he came back onto the ground. It followed a familiar trend of tries scored during the second half, with the Maroons ultimately struggling in defence as they tired without the ball in hand. Angus Crichton scored the final try of Game 2 in the 2022 State of Origin series, the last of six back-to-back try-scorers for the New South Wales Blues in a one-way traffic second half.

The Blues have forced a State of Origin decider at Suncorp Stadium next month thanks to a masterclass from halfback Nathan Cleary. Here's how it played out.

We rate each Maroons player after their heavy Game II defeat to New South Wales in Perth.

Aimed up in defence right from the kick off and looked to be set for a big game but played less than 40 minutes in the end. While his first taste of Origin would have felt like a dream, the Cowboys man came back to earth with a thud in Perth. The Roosters prop looked to be right up for it in the opening stages, taking it up to the New South Wales middles. Like it or not, Kaufusi being sent to the bin was the most significant moment in the match. Clearly looked the main attacking threat for the Maroons in the first half but perhaps tried to push things a touch too much. Among the best of the Queensland forwards, working hard defensively in difficult circumstances. Looked the most likely of the Queensland outside backs at times but faded badly in the second half. It's always going to be tough for the halfback when the side completes at 74 per cent with less than 40 per cent of possession but part of that blame must lie with the number seven. There wouldn't be a repeat of the upset in Game I as the Blues ran riot in the second half at Optus Stadium to level the 2022 State of Origin series. After a tight first half, Queensland ran out of steam in the second 40 minutes, having struggled to get any good ball all night. The defensive workload began to tell late in the game as they let in several soft tries through the middle. New South Wales recorded a 44-12 win to hand the Maroons a reality check ahead of Game III in Brisbane.
