Latrell returns home after Origin dominance
From the MCG to Taree Latrell, Mitchell returning to where he took his first steps on a footy field. I love coming back. It's good to get away, get a break and yeah, and come to this mate. Just fills my cup up again. Look, there's a lot of good things that he does. Like you don't see it, but I guess, you know, everyone gets scrutinized in a certain way. Little things like that are going on in our game all the time And and he's a big part of that. State of Origins biggest star, inspiring future Blues at a kids clinic in his hometown hours after a triumphant comeback. On rugby league's grandest stage. Obviously, you know, the kids are alive on that side, they're all talking about it. Trell and his teammates produced the greatest half of football in Origin history, piling on the points to leave 34 nil at half time. I felt like we deserved a really good performance. I didn't think it would go that well. So that was that was awesome. The Blues New Bash brothers Angus Crichton and Liam Martin piled on the pain. The Maroons monstered and manhandled. And I think a good job, didn't I? Yeah, Angus, he was strong. And Liam on the Other side, the man owning his MCG moment. Moses was Mitch Perfect, becoming the first player since Brad Fittler 24 years ago to set up four tries in an Origin match, the halfback insisting celebrations were subdued. Not, not too many. We've got a job to do. The mastermind behind the Blues, Melbourne master class, Michael McGuire, must now devise a blueprint to beat the Marones in Brisbane. But history is against the state. Only twice has NSW won a decider on Queensland soil. Do you channel the spirit of 94 and 05:00? Well, we've been channeling a fair bit of spirit of all the old boys. It's it's shown that can be done. So yeah, that's something there that will we'll look at. But. You know, it's really about this group being able to create their own as well. The spirit of the boys, the spirit of what they they see in the jersey. It's it's alive at Sydney Airport. Zach Bailey, go the Blue 9 News.
