Mitchell burst through in the 48th minute when the Blues were four points down to level the scores, and they stayed that way as James Maloney has unable to convert.

However it wasn’t long before Maloney was given the chance again as Trbojevic scored in the 51st minute.

This time there was no mistake from Maloney who nailed the conversion and put NSW up 18-12.
