How did that come about, Mitch?

Um...

I felt like we kind of picked it out from the first two games that we weren't kicking the ball as far, I guess, in the first two games.

And how we felt origin footy was played.

And if you have field position in origin footy, you go a long way in winning the game and putting yourself in a position to win the game.

So I felt like...

Me just releasing Nathan, taking the pressure off him by doing the long kicking and allowing him just to free flow and take opportunities when he could.

How do you play them?

Uh, y- to win a series here at Suncorp, I know it's special for you, but this one really is special.

I don't know if it gets any better, man.

Our team's been just bashed in the media by everyone, and coach has been bashed in the media by his own people as well, and the only people that were gonna change that was the 20 people that went out there and the coaching staff, whoever was in that, in that camp.

They come out and did it in their own backyard.
