The Brydens Lawyers NSW Blues team for Holden State of Origin Game I was selected on May 26 and been the focal point for all NRL and NSW fans on social ever since. The NSWRL compiled all the behind-the-scenes moments, activities and celebrations which the team posted on their personal social media accounts to show the spirit within the camp.
