The Bizarre Reason Maroons Star Didn't Actually Spend 10 Minutes in the Sin Bin

The State of Origin Game 2 was a thrilling encounter between the Queensland Maroons and the New South Wales Blues. The game was full of drama and controversy, but one incident stood out above the rest. Maroons star, Jai Arrow, was sent to the sin bin for a high tackle on Blues player, James Tedesco. However, it later emerged that Arrow didn't actually spend the full 10 minutes in the sin bin.

The reason for this bizarre situation was that Arrow was accidentally released from the sin bin early. The referee had intended to release another player, but mistakenly let Arrow go instead. Arrow was on the field for an extra two minutes before the error was discovered and he was sent back to the sin bin to serve the remaining time.

Despite this mistake, the Maroons were able to hold on for a narrow 26-24 victory over the Blues. The win sets up a thrilling decider in the State of Origin series, with everything to play for in the final game.
