The New South Wales Blues are poised to potentially clinch the 2025 State of Origin series on Wednesday evening at Optus Stadium, whereas the Queensland Maroons aim to extend the series.
According to reports from zerotackle.com, Game 1 was a challenging experience for the Maroons, leading to the decision to drop captain Daly Cherry-Evans for this match.
Tom Dearden will now take over the leadership role for the Maroons.
In contrast, the Blues only made one change due to injury, with Mitch Barnett out and Melbourne Storm's Stefano Utoikamanu stepping in.
