The Queensland Maroons are currently facing a crisis in their State of Origin campaign, as highlighted by their recent performance.
According to reports from zerotackle.com, the team has experienced a significant downturn, marked by back-to-back losses at Lang Park for the first time in nearly 30 years.
Their scoring struggles are evident; they managed to secure only one try in the series opener.
This disappointing performance follows a trend from last year's Game 3, where they also failed to score a try at home against the Blues, settling instead for just two penalty goals.
In Game 2 of the previous year's series, the Maroons had a momentary surge, scoring three tries, but notably, two of those came during a ten-minute period while Liam Martin was serving a sin bin penalty.
The consistent underperformance has led to discussions about the potential need for a new strategic direction, and many are calling for the legendary Wayne Bennett to step in and help salvage the situation.
