63rd min TRY MAROONS to Will Chambers. He goes in out wide and the bunker confirms it. Valentine Holmes again on the sideline... and he can’t get the goal.

New South Wales 18-14

Dumb play from Latrell. There was a huge opportunity for the blues to get out of their own end following a rubbish kick from hunt

He's been awful.
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

good to see refs ignore standard nrl rules, Maloney no attempt to play the ball with his foot

69th min Going to video... checking for a penalty try or sin binning on Roberts. Roberts holds Cooper back. He is binned. Great run Ponga in the lead up. NO TRY.

Will chambers has been trying to lose the game for us all night. I think he just succeeded.

That was only a penalty because NSW escalated it. He had called 5th.

78th min Holmes kick goes straight to Tedesco and now the Blues receive a penalty. NSW will survive the sin binnin* with no points conceded.

80th min Knock on ruled against Queensland on their goal line.

FULL TIME

New South Wales Blues 18
Queensland Maroons 14

Blues claim Origin series with win over Maroons







The NSW Blues survived a trademark Queensland fightback with a man in the sin bin to officially mark the end of the Maroons dynasty and claim just their second State of Origin series in 13 years. Rookie coach Brad Fittler's investment in youth has paid off, with the baby-faced Blues showing incredible grit in defence to record an 18-14 win at ANZ Stadium on Sunday night.

The Blues, who were given a contentious penalty try in the first half, looked like they would suffer the same late-match jitters they had in previous years when James Roberts was sent to the sin bin for a professional foul on Gavin Cooper with 11 minutes remaining.
