Queensland have won their eighth consecutive Origin series following their 12-10 victory over a determined New South Wales.
Very much like the game in Brisbane the Maroons piled on the pressure early and came away with an eight nil lead thanks to a solo effort from Jonathon Thurston to step his way through to score next to the posts, and a penalty conversion shortly after.
It took until around the twenty-five minute mark with the injection of Anthony Watmough into the game for the Blues to look dangerous. James McManus scored out wide but James Maloney couldn’t convert the goal which would prove costly in the final result.
With Queensland on the back peddle close to the break the home side weren’t able to convert pressure into points and trailed by four at the break.
Some classic rugby league was played in the second half with both teams desperate to win the series. Again New South Wales started off where they did just before the break but they blew opportunities presented to them with Dugan unable to handle an Andrew Fifita offload which saw the fullback destined to score.
The game was over when Justin Hodges was able to get through some lazy New South Wales online defence and score. Thurston’s conversion missed but the Blues still trailed by eight.
