State of Origin 2026 | NSW Blues Game 3 Changes & Predicted Line-Up

The story of Game 2 at the MCG began with forty minutes of hope as the NSW Blues held a slim 12-8 halftime lead, but it quickly transformed into a total rugby league horror story when a disastrous second-half defensive collapse, worsened by Kotoni Staggs’ costly sin-binning and head-scratching bench rotations from coach Laurie Daley, allowed the Queensland Maroons to run riot and pile on a record-breaking 36 points in a single half to crush New South Wales 44-24. Here I give my opinion on the match and the changes that need to happened before the New South Wales Blues travel to Suncorp stadium in game 3. I give my personal opinion on who needs to be chosen for the Decider. DISCLAIMER: I do not own any images or videos that are within this video.
