Blues reveal surprise target to shut down Maroons in State of Origin series decider

LISTEN: The Maroons are bursting at the seams with game-breaking talent, but Blues enforcers have set their sights on shutting down one of the lesser names.

THE Maroons are bursting at the seams with game-breaking talent.

There is Melbourne’s “Big Three” and their ability in attack to methodically pick apart opposition defences.

Add debutant Cameron Munster into the mix and you have the same Storm spine that clinically dismantled the Broncos a week ago.

Dylan Napa and Josh McGuire always find a way to turn the crazy dial up a notch when in Maroon and the two enforcers led Queensland’s second-half revival in State of Origin II.

Then there is North Queensland’s Michael Morgan, the man who has added unlikely grand final AND State of Origin hero to his rugby league CV thanks to THAT clutch flick-pass.

But come Wednesday night Blues bash brothers Aaron Woods and David Klemmer will have eyes for one man — Dane Gagai.

The Maroons winger might not have the profile of his teammates, but the Blues NSW enforcers know he’s been Queensland’s best so far and to limit him is to limit his influence on the outcome in next week’s decider.

“He’s played really well for them and he’s been their biggest threat,” Klemmer told the League Central podcast.

Dane Gagai is a handful for the Blues.

“He gets their sets going and he scores their points and we have to come out and try to contain him.

“He’s very dangerous and he won them the game the other night.”

NSW forwards Woods and Klemmer also discuss balmy weather, budgie smugglers and why the Blues were their own worst enemy in game two in Sydney.
