An understandably delighted New South Wales coach Michael Maguire joined Andrew Moore and the team to express his delight at the Blues performance in Game 2 of State of Origin. Despite a lengthy coaching career in club and international rugby league, even Madge couldn't remember watching a half a good as the one New South Wales produced at the MCG. He praised experienced inclusions like Cam Murray, Latrell Mitchell and Mitch Moses and how the whole group came together in their Blue Mountains camp. Maguire also said that dealing with a media "on steroids" in Origin has been interesting but says despite seemingly some cross words with his opposite number he and Billy Slater are fine.
