The New South Wales Blues face crucial changes for Game 3 following their recent performance against the Queensland Maroons.
Despite scoring more tries, the Blues suffered from a disastrous first half and a lack of precision in goal-kicking, leading to a significant disadvantage as they head to Sydney.
Reports from zerotackle.com indicate that the Blues endured an 8-0 penalty count against them in the first half; however, captain acknowledged that "they were their own worst enemies."
The Blues struggled with errors, low completion rates, and a failure to defend effectively, despite having substantial possession.
This culminated in a halftime score of 26-6 in favor of the Maroons.
Although the Blues nearly achieved a historic comeback, they ultimately fell short, finishing just two points behind after converting only two out of five attempts at goal.
As they prepare for the next game, the focus will likely be on addressing these key issues to enhance their performance.
