4:16Now PlayingOn the eve of a must-win State of Origin Game 2 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the Queensland Maroons have found a deep emotional fire.
Maroons captain Cameron Munster opens up about team-mate Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, who continues to show immense resilience following the tragic death of his father. In contrast, the New South Wales Blues have suffered a devastating blow with centre Casey McLean sidelined for a month due to a quad injury, ruling him out of Origin 3.
The drama intensifies as both camps address controversial revelations surrounding referee Ashley Klein and his past gambling struggles. Both Maroons coach Billy Slater and Blues legend Laurie Daley have voiced their opinions on the public airing of Klein's personal life ahead of tomorrow night’s blockbusting encounter.
