The brave warriors of the NSW Blues, led by the dynamic duo of Jarome Luai and Mitchell Moses, have conquered their Queensland foes in a thrilling State of Origin series showdown.
In a nail-biting decider that had fans on the edge of their seats, Luai's sheer skill and Moses' precision guided the Blues to a triumphant 14-4 victory.
In a crucial moment when the game hung in the balance, Luai unleashed a stroke of genius to pierce through the Maroons defense, setting up centre Bradman Best for the all-important opening try.
And just when Queensland thought they had a chance at a comeback, Moses swiftly cut through their defensive line to secure the victory in style.
This historic win at Suncorp Stadium marks a milestone for the Blues, joining the elite few NSW teams to emerge victorious in a decider on Queensland turf.
The last time such glory was tasted was way back in 2005, making this a truly special moment for NSW rugby league fans.
For new coach Michael Maguire, this triumph is a testament to his leadership and the hard work of the Blues squad.
With their first series win since 2021, the Blues have etched their names in the annals of rugby league history, proving that they are a force to be reckoned with.
