Maloney was blunt in his assessment of his sides performance, one that saw them let in four tries to one in a 22-6 defeat.

“An occasion like this, mate it’s horrible,” said Maloney when interviewed by Brad Fitler.

“You’re never gonna win a game with a performance like that.

“To do it in a moment like this, it’s just horrible.”

Maloney was visibly taken back by the result, suffering another series loss thanks to a hat trick bt Valentine Holmes and an opening half that saw them completely dominated and lucky to get away with a 12-point deficit at the break.

“New South Wales deserve better, Laurie (Daley) deserves better,” he said.
