It was a rough weekend for both Blues fans and Michael Maguire, with injuries to Nathan Cleary and Tommy Turbo leaving Madge with several headaches at the selection table.
Wendell Sailor thinks it’s an opportunity for NSW to find their next big thing, with plenty of key positions now up for grabs.
“Mate you’re never gone, State of Origin gives you opportunities. This is the problem
with everyone going ‘Who’s not going to be there?’ – It’s who could be there for the Blues.” said Sailor
“Even as a Queenslander I’m looking to see who they go with now, so I want the best players to play.”
“It’s the next man up mentality, that’s what Origin’s about. The next big thing could be coming along.”
