New South Wales pulled off a feat that many thought was almost impossible, win a State of Origin decider in Queensland’s own backyard.
Former Blue Aaron Woods thinks that coach Billy Slater lost the mental game once Michael Maguire threw the now infamous ‘glasshouses’ sledge his way after Queensland’s win in game 1.
“I thought Billy outcoached himself.” said Woods

“I thought he was outstanding game 1 with Selwyn Cobbo off the bench everything went to plan, game two he drops him.”
“Madge mentions the the glass house’s, from that glass house’s moment I’ve never seen a bloke get more rattled.”
“Billy’s normally like happy go lucky, mate how uptight he cancels the media session game 3 – the biggest game.”
The Blues won an Origin decider in the cauldron of Lang Park for only the 3 time in history, and the first time since Andrew Johns lead the Blues to victory in 2005.
