A relieved New South Wales coach Laurie Daley (pictured seated at right) seems set for another year in charge of the Blues after a much needed win in Origin Game Three.

The Blues 18 – 14 victory came on the back of a lopsided penalty count with the match officials guilty of some bizarre decisions.

Speaking after the match, Daley said he was proud of the way his team held out against  a desperate Queensland team that was in the match to the very last minute.
