Whether the tiredness Maguire detected came from heavier players fatiguing,or the less mentally tough clocking off,he won’t gamble with anyone he doesn’t deem an Origin player.
After all,Queensland’s domination of Origin during the past couple of decades comes down to one enduring constant:the Maroons select players who are committed to stay alive on every play. In attack,you back up every run,even if the chance of receiving the ball is remote. In defence,you move up both sides of the ruck,even if the ball travels in the opposite direction.
