The pressure is on NSW and Michael Maguire heading into Game II of the State of Origin series, with the Blues needing to win the clash to keep the series alive.
Michael Maguire was asked about his ‘glasshouse’ response to Billy Slater and Queensland, he indicated that he was just standing up for his troops.
“I know I was just reacting to obviously what I saw, they’re our players I’m making sure that I’m standing up for what we believe.” said Maguire
“Unfortunately you know, it’s probably an inch in that tackle and unfortunately it changed the game.”
“I think every team goes out to make sure that they can nullify what the qualities are of the opposition, I’m sure they’re doing the same to us. We’ve got some pretty handy players
in our team and of course you want to make sure you keep your 13 on the field.”
