State of Origin Game 2

Welcome to our live coverage of the second State of Origin game, where NSW will try to tie the series in Pe...

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.

“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.

Maroons tryscorer is sin-binned and Brian To'o crosses for the Blues as they take a two-point lead into the break in Origin 2.

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.

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.

New South Wales have earned a dominant victory over Queensland to push this year's State of Origin series to a decider.

The 2022 State of Origin series will be decided by a third game in Brisbane after New South Wales hammered Queensland 44-12 in Game 2 in Perth.

Four minutes later Cleary dropped the ball cold in a tackle but Burton saved his blushes on the next play with a man-on-man strip on an out-of-sorts Gagai. Cleary demanded the ball and rammed home his redemption, weaving behind the tired Queensland defence to plant the ball down and start the celebrations. The pressure eventually told as repeat raids down the right side found Cleary with time and an overlap out wide. James Tedesco was everywhere, returning every kick with precision and splitting the line with ease. With Kafusi cooling in the sin bin, the Blues surged after the oranges. A minute before half-time Kaufusi was binned for repeat infringements in the ruck. Junior Paulo came on for the Blues at 25 minutes, bent the line, won a six-again and slipped an offload within his first two runs.

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. Perth fans revelled in the State of Origin glow on Sunday night as the NSW Blues demolished the QLD Maroons to level the series. A State of Origin fan didn’t hesitate to capture her moment before the game when she exposed a bit too much on live television.

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.

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.

Limited minutes, but he did his job and will be there again for the decider. They made the change, and it worked wonders with Koroisau getting the game off to a good start. That is obviously a result of other players around him being on a much higher level, but he still had 62 running metres and some nice moments with the ball in hand. He also had 12 tackle busts in that time and played a hand in some of the Blues' tries without recording an assist. Talakai didn't get a lot of game time - and it all came after the game had been decided - but he still did a job, didn't make any mistakes and will be in contention for a spot in this side for years to come, although the return of Latrell Mitchell and Jack Wighton in time for Game 3 could see him lose his spot immediately. Trbojevic was the most criticised addition to Fittler's side for Game 2, but it turns out he was potentially the best addition, taking control in the middle third and putting together his best game of 2022 to date given how poor (in attack at least) his form has been at Manly. Murray might have had a slightly off night in the opener, but there was none of that in Perth. A typical workman-like performance saw him break a couple of tackles and make 28 of his own. Good service, strong defence and an ability to get his side rolling on the front foot meant it was all downhill for the Blues once he was taken out of the game. Cleary was criticised from pillar to post after the series-opener, but was phenomenal in Game 2, laying on a couple of tries and scoring a double for himself. It's rare that we get to the end of a game and Payne Haas had the least impact out of any middle third forward, but that's what happened in Perth. Tupou reminded everyone why he won the race to be selected over Josh Addo-Carr. The speculation has been height, but in truth, it's all down to his running game and work ethic out of his own end. There is no winger in the competition who comes close to matching the running game that the Penrith winger possesses, and he made 261 metres on Sunday evening to prove it, to go with a try just before halftime.

Referee Ashley Klein made the massive decision to sin-bin Maroons backrower Felise Kaufusi shortly before half-time during Origin II in Perth.

Klein's call to bin Kaufusi left Queensland skipper Daly Cherry-Evans baffled as the referee attempted to explain himself.
