State of Origin: The Queensland Maroons have made a statement in the State of Origin series opener, defeating the NSW Blues 38-10 at Accor Stadium.

If the NSW Blues led by coach Michael Maguire are fair dinkum about saving this State of Origin series they need to stop wasting energy complaining about this nonsense argument in defending Joseph Suaalii for a so-called controversial send off, and focus on the problems they can fix.

— And last but by no means least Maguire needs to go cap in hand back to Latrell Mitchell and get the Rabbitohs superstar on board to replace Suaalii, who is now looking at a four-game ban after being rightfully slugged with a grade two reckless high tackle charge.

Even allowing for the Blues playing almost the entire match a man down, Hynes’s game management was just nowhere near what is required at Origin level, and his kicking game fell a long way short, while he also never threatened with his running game. If for unforeseen circumstances Moses becomes unavailable between now and the team announcement, Jarome Luai should then be moved from five-eighth to halfback with Matt Burton and his booming boot taking over as Luai’s halves partner.

The other selection that will cause plenty of debate even though it is not an argument relates to the game’s most polarising player. Yes, trying to predict how the referees and match review committee will react to dangerous high tackles is like picking the Lotto numbers. If you remember that incident Manu had also dipped after having his shorts tugged by then Rabbitohs centre Dane Gagai, which ultimately led to Mitchell smashing Manu in the head.
