Blues coach Laurie Daley explained Hudson Young and Connor Watson's delayed substitutions in the State of Origin.
New South Wales Blues head coach Laurie Daley has revealed the reasons Hudson Young and Connor Watson weren't used until midway through the second half on Wednesday evening during a losing effort in the State of Origin decider.
Despite looking out on their feet, the Blues had used just three of their interchanges 52 minutes into the game, with neither Young or Watson appearing on the field.
Young, playing at the table-topping Canberra Raiders as a second-rower, had also been used through the edge, but excelled under the pressure of the Origin arena.
