Laurie Daley has spared his Blues players the ordeal of revisiting their Origin II humbling on video in the lead-up to Wednesday's decider, saying: ''They know they didn't play well.''

Video sessions are, in this day and age, central to teams' preparations in club and representative arenas, as rivals seek to reflect on their strengths and shortcomings and those of their opponents in pursuit of an edge.

However, the NSW coach has put his own stamp on the Blues' preparations for the ANZ Stadium blockbuster by essentially throwing out the tape of their 26-6 defeat to Queensland in game two of the series last month.

''I didn't make them watch it, no,'' Daley said on Monday. Asked why he did not sit his players in front of a television to review the game, Daley added: ''They know they didn't play well.''
