Queensland: Whingeing one day, offside the next Just some examples of the times the Queensland markers were offside in Origin I. Source: The Daily Telegraph Queensland coach Mal Meninga takes a moment to compose himself. NSW coach Laurie Daley laughs off cheating allegations ahead of Origin II, suggesting that Queensland are attempting to influence the referees. THE Blues have won one penalty count in the past eight years of matches at Suncorp Stadium, but as usual it is Mal Meninga's Maroons who are doing all the whingeing. NSW coach Laurie Daley yesterday described the Queensland claims that his Blues were treated leniently during the series-opening win as "hypocritical." The Queensland media rolled out an inconclusive series of stills yesterday and then branded the Blues "cheats," raising the ire of NSW coach Laurie Daley, who called the claims "hypocritical." A special investigation can reveal that Mal's Maroons were offside or blatantly infringing the marker a staggering 28 times in the first 30 minutes of the series opener at ANZ Stadium earlier this month. Such was the avalanche of bending the rules, the fed-up analytical team downed tools and refused to watch any more of the Blues' sensational win after slogging their way through those 30 minutes. The unprecedented number of breaches largely went unpunished by the referees and the NSW camp fears referees Ashley Klein and Shayne Hayne could be swayed by feral crowd tomorrow night. Daley went on the attack last night, telling The Daily Telegraph: "We were happy with the way Origin I was refereed but I think we should now return serve. Their markers weren't square in Origin I and the images prove it. What's more alarming was how often they were offside. How grossly hypocritical of them to question us about standing offside at marker when it is clear they constantly broke the rules in Origin I. Queensland really pushed the boundaries and the evidence is there for all to see. We actually found 28 clips of vision in the first 30 minutes where they were clearly offside. We weren't going to complain but they attacked us. New South Wales coach Laurie Daley believes Queensland are showing cracks in their armour ahead of Origin II. We just hope the refs police it strongly given we have won just one penalty count up here in the past eight games. You can see the refs trying to police the offside but they were just ignored. A Blues insider said the story was planted by Maroons officials to pressure the referees to make sure Queensland win the penalty count tomorrow night. Overall, the Maroons have won the penalties 49 to 36 at Suncorp Stadium since 2006. And while the penalty count was 7-5 in NSW's favour in Sydney, the Blues camp desperately hopes Klein and Hayne won't be intimidated in Brisbane, as many referees have been in years past. Queensland have claimed that their two attacking weapons - Cam Smith and Justin Hodges - were shut down by illegal play in Origin I, releasing a handful of inconclusive stills to The Courier-Mail from the match that proved very little. Maroons coach Mal Meninga is understood to have spoken to NRL referees coach Daniel Anderson about the issue. In his Sunday Mail column, Meninga wrote: "We cannot formulate a game plan that maximises Cameron's fantastic running game because it will be brought undone by the leniency currently shown to defenders standing offside at marker."
