New South Wales State of Origin coach Laurie Daleys (pictured) future in charge of the Blues side must be in serious doubt following Queenslands series deciding win in Brisbane on Wednesday night.
Needing a win to keep the series alive after the narrow loss in Game One in Sydney, the Blues once again extended the Maroons side but were unable to resist the pressure applied by the Queenslanders when the game was there to be won.
The Blues had numerous attacking chances in the 26 – 16 loss but were once again unable to convert their pressure into a winning score.
