21岁的Ethan Strange在代表新南威尔士州参加State of Origin I之前，向队友Nathan Cleary请教了一套源自"Mudgee奇迹"的进攻战术1。两人在队长训练中演练了这套传中进攻动作，Strange随后在比赛中尝试复现这一战术，尽管该进攻被裁判判罚无效1。
Nathan Cleary对Strange的主动请教印象深刻，表示"这体现了他的品质——这是他喜欢的一套进攻，当他得知自己将参加Origin I时，立即找到我说，'我们来试试这个'"1。新南威尔士州橄榄球教练Laurie Daley也对两人的合作给予肯定，评价说"拭目以待接下来会发生什么，我认为这很不错"1。据悉，"Mudgee奇迹"指的是堪培拉突击队去年第25轮在Mudgee以20-16战胜彭里斯的比赛，Strange在该场比赛中得分1。
Ethan Strange sought out Nathan Cleary before his State of Origin debut to learn an attacking play from a memorable Canberra Raiders victory in Mudgee 1. The 21-year-old NSW debutant, who had scored in that earlier Raiders match against Penrith, approached Cleary with a clear request: to rehearse the tactical move in preparation for Origin I 1. The pair worked through the attacking sequence during captain's run, attempting to recreate the play that had proven effective in the previous encounter 1.
During the Origin I match itself, Strange attempted to execute a similar attacking move, though the play was ultimately ruled ineffective 1. Nathan Cleary praised his teammate's initiative, noting the significance of Strange's determination: "It's a credit to him – it's a play he likes, and as soon as he found out he was playing [Origin I], he came up to me and said, 'Let's run it'" 1. NSW coach Laurie Daley acknowledged the partnership positively, remarking: "You just wait to see what happens off the back of it. I thought it was great." 1
