‘Backs against the wall’: NSW Blues head into enemy territory for Game Two

Former NSW Blues captain Benny Elias says the 2023 Blues have “learnt a lot” from Game One of State of Origin but need to be very careful they “don’t panic too much” as they head into Game Two. “Backs against the wall … it’s a great challenge and a real big ask for those New South Wales players to play Game Two and Three,” Mr Elias told Sky News Australia. “To come home and win it in front of our own home ground would be extremely special but going up there to even the series at Suncorp Stadium is going to be a real big ask.”
