Queensland and the NSW Blues are trading ideas after the State of Origin opener, with former player Andrew Johns saying he would make several changes to the NSW backline. All three reports describe Johns’ assessment following the Blues’ win against Queensland, framing his comments as potential adjustments rather than confirmed selections. The outlets agree that Johns focuses on reshaping parts of the backline, indicating that even with a successful result, he believes improvements could be made for subsequent games in the series. While the articles do not present detailed tactical breakdowns or specific roster decisions in the shared text, they consistently link his proposed changes to how NSW performed in the opener and to what he sees as opportunities to strengthen the team. The reports attribute the discussion to Johns’ public remarks and emphasize that his suggestions come after the Blues’ victory, highlighting that winning does not necessarily end debate over team structure and personnel.
