Following a humiliating 44-24 defeat in Origin 2 at the MCG, State of Origin Game 2 leaves the NSW Blues in absolute tatters. Michael Carayannis and Brent Read unload on the disgraceful second-half performance, calling out Laurie Daley getting out-coached again by Billy Slater's rampant Maroons. With the series heading to a Suncorp decider, the boys orchestrate an unprecedented roster cleanout, demanding up to 10 player changes. They break down the diabolical bench rotation that left Api Koroisau completely unused, the catastrophic Dylan Lucas selection blunder over Haumole Olakau'atu, and why bringing back Latrell Mitchell, Tom Trbojevic, and Stephen Crichton is the only way New South Wales can bully their way to an improbable series victory.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
