The blues distributed a record on Thursday evening, which hid in front of the home fans of Queensland in Brisbane, and crossed six attempts on two attempts when they had won a 32:12 win to draw the first blood in the three-game series.

But it was an incident in the first half in which Davis overshadowed the competition, and the NSW hookers complained to referee Belinda Sharpe that she was enthusiastic about a maroon player. The film material from Channel 9 showed the moment when Davis reacted with pain and had been grabbed in her face at the distance between two defenders of Queensland.

Blues captain Isabelle Kelly and Davis then turned to referee Sharpe to have her complained in the field at the time, but Davis was not sure which player was supposed to have at eye level. Sharpe put the incident in the report, but it did not name a suspected perpetrator due to the confusion about the incident.

On Friday morning, the Match Review Committee decided not to file an indictment after asking Davis if she wanted to continue. The review committee examined several perspectives, and as a final video evidence for an eye game could not be found, Davis was contacted and asked if it wanted to pass the matter. Davis told the NRL when she felt an eye closure, she was satisfied with being dropped.

“I never felt it in a game. I felt an eye flap,” she said immediately after the game. “It is the original arena, things happen. There is a difference if it is randomly than on purpose (if it is). I hope it doesn't happen.”

Blues throws support according to Keeley Davis according to claim

The match was still fine at the time of the incident when NSW 10-6 led and luckily neither their or Davis' performance for the blues.

“When you know Keeley, you know that you won't rattle,” she said. “I said to one of the girls that they should come to me with something if they need it, and that's exactly what I did, put my players in the first place.”

Another incident with Davis in last year's origin series follows when she claims to have been bitten by a Maroon player. The New Blues coach John Strange announced that the 24-year-old had played after last year's series's allegations.

But Blues Skipper Kelly turned to Davis in front of this year's series to encourage her not to stay calm if a foul took place in the second annual three-game series. “I said,” If something happens this time, make sure you tell me, “said Kelly.” She is a professional keeley, she was great.
