NRL: This year's State of Origin series is almost upon us, with New South Wales, now led by Michael Maguire, looking to end a two-year losing streak with a new-look team.

The only place to watch every game of every round LIVE with no ad-breaks during play is Fox League , available on Kayo. New to Kayo?There were a number of puzzling decisions regarding hip drop tackles in Round 12 that has once again left fans with more questions than answers over the consistency in how the rule is policed.

Papali’i had to leave the field though with an ankle injury and the pause in play meant the Bunker had a chance to look at the replay and direct the referee to send Holmes to the bin. The Eels were penalised for the tackle, but amazingly, Ofahengaue remained on the field, which left Mitchell in shock as he tried to ask for an explanation from the referee.

Sexton and five-eighth Matt Burton worked extremely well together and were able to unlock what can be a dangerous Bulldogs attack when firing on all cylinders. “In the NSW Cup he was too good, but he’s been able to build his confidence and come into first grade and play well.” Mitchell had his hands on the ball regularly and threatened, being one of the NRL’s most potent attacking threats.

“I loved it, I’ve thought about it before so it was great to have a chance to put him there,” Ben Hornby said post-match.Meanwhile, it was a unanimous decision by pundits, with Harry Grant believing he could “change the game” for Souths. Former Knights gun Alex McKinnon previously touted a move for Mitchell to five-eighth, writing: “He’s such a creative player, he needs to not be limited when it comes to how many touches he can get each game. He needs a change and a challenge.

“One thing your fans want is a team that competes every week and we’re not short of effort,” Marshall said. The Tigers are now second last heading into the bye, before a must win clash with the Dragons in Round 14, with their finals hopes slipping away.Manly have unearthed a potential star of the future in Lehi Hopoate after his stunning debut after coming in for the injured Tolu Koula.

“In my debut year I got to play alongside Will who was a similar age, maybe 18-19 years old, and the demeanour between what Will was and what Lehi is showing us right now is very similar,” Cherry-Evans said.“I don’t know how many more opportunities he’s going to get this season with Tolu and Tom, but for him to play so well against good opposition just shows where his career is going to go so I’m really proud of him.”“He’s ticked all the boxes on debut,” Ginnane said on Fox League.
