Get smart: the game-changing moves needed to evade an Origin cannonball

State of Origin I delivered a narrow NSW win, but the Blues must rethink their approach ahead of Origin II at the MCG on June 17. Trailing 20-6, NSW survived a red card to Kalyn Ponga and held on for a 22-20 victory that exposed fragile starts and the risk of a Brisbane decider. A strategic reshuffle is urged, with Mitchell Moses potentially returning to partner Nathan Cleary in the halves if fit, and Ethan Strange positioned as a versatile bench option who could start or impact the match in multiple roles. Suggestions include moving Isaah Yeo to starting prop with Payne Haas, allowing Cameron Murray to contest lock and freeing McLean to inject pace and power off the bench.
