Laurie Daley Admits Mixed Emotions After Blues’ Origin I Escape

Laurie Daley joins The Rush Hour after the Blues’ dramatic State of Origin Game I win, opening up on the mixed emotions of getting the job done despite a shaky first-half performance. After heading into half-time down 20-6, Laurie reflects on the simple errors that compounded, why NSW made it easy for Queensland to defend, and how the Blues managed to “get out of jail” when it mattered most. Laurie also praises the standout performances of Ethan Strange, Nathan Cleary and Casey McLean, while Hindy presses him on the painfully slow kicking tee delivery before Cleary’s conversion attempt. Plus, Laurie reveals what he learned about Penrith’s success after seeing the leadership of their players up close.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
