Behind the scenes news on and off the field. From press conferences to inside the locker rooms. I love being a part of it. I'm learning to feel real at the moment. It's a tough game to play. Massive responsibility. Very, very good chance.
On Triple M, this is NRL Daily. Welcome to Triple M NRL Daily, your Origin Recap Special, and it's Charlie White here and two of the absolute greats, the men that were right there last night filing columns, chasing interviews, chasing angles, Adam Pangilli and Danny Wydler. How are you, boys?
Charlie, I'm good. It's very rare to come to Brisbane as a New South Welshman and watch a State of Origin series decide to go the Blues way, but, jeez, Danny, it was enjoyable last night, wasn't it? I've got one word for both of you. Queenslander.
It was a Queensland-like win, wasn't it, for New South Wales? Backs against the wall, massive underdogs, and they managed to pull it out.
Well, the psychology going into the game was fascinating, wasn't it, Charlie? Because Queensland love to paint themselves as the underdogs. They like the backs to the wall mantra. But they were favourites last night and heavy favourites given what happened in the first two games. And New South Wales, for once... tapped into that psychology, Danny. And I thought that was fascinating. Like they were galvanized as a group going into last night, given what had happened in the first two games of the series.
So I was with the team for the whole lead up and people were asking what's the camp like. So I sensed a calmness in this camp, particularly from Laurie. I sensed an edge in the last two camps. I don't know. I thought it was just because they were at Kingscliff. I thought that's why. But there was a real calmness and there was a really good vibe in the lead up. It doesn't always mean anything, but it was different. The biggest difference in the lead up was in one person, apart from Laurie, one player, Stephen Crichton. Camp one, he was quiet, reserved. He's normally one of the loud voices in this team and he was quiet. This camp, he was a pest. He would see me from down the hall in quite a nice hotel and start screaming out, Danny!
As loud as he could. And that's the Stephen Crichton I know. Yeah. I mean, on the field, running out of tunnels, running onto the field. He was the voice. And... He gave a vibe in that team, him and also a surprising one, Mark Nwanganitawase. He's a quiet guy, but, geez, he's loved in that team. And he creates – they both were roomies and they created an energy for that entire side that was reflected on the night. It was a very strong, united New South Wales team. Dare I say it was like a Queensland team.
Mm-hmm.
And the results were there for everybody to see. Now, I don't know how widely publicized it's been, Adam, but one of the big motivating factors was a talk from Stuart Diver, the Threadbow survivor.
Right.
He came in and saw the team late and talked to them about, I think it was being calm in chaos. calmness in chaos. And I think that resonated with a lot of the players. And I think that they were pretty calm in chaos. They created some chaos for Queensland, but they were calm in chaos as well. I thought it was really interesting. And That fed through the entire squad as well.
So they got the preparation right, obviously. Yeah. Now, you spoke last week that the players had actually made the call to change the preparation slot.
That's what I heard. I heard that. And I think that their training was different. I think in Camp 1 they got it wrong. I think the feeling was someone like Hamoli trained too much from memory. So... Yeah, I think that they, what are they called? In the World Cup, don't they have a tournament sort of philosophy and, you know, the way that they prepare for a tournament? It's a long tournament, right?
