NSW Blues Bradman Best Injured Ahead of State of Origin Decider

The NSW Blues received overwhelming support from the community during a public training session in the Blue Mountains ahead of Game Three against Queensland. Liam Martin, labeled a bully for his playing style, remains unfazed by criticism. Coach Michael Maguire referred to NSW as the 'people's team' in contrast to Queensland's media distancing tactics. Maguire made two changes to the Blues lineup for the decider, with Bradman Best replacing the injured Latrell Mitchell, and Mitchell Barnett set to debut. A significant injury concern arose as Best suffered a hamstring issue, prompting Matt Burton's recall as 18th man.
