In the 2025 State of Origin decider, the Queensland Maroons triumphed over the New South Wales Blues, reclaiming the shield in a match that saw Queensland dominate.
The performance of the Blues left much to be desired, with few players standing out in a lackluster showing.
Player Ratings:
- Dylan Edwards - 5/10: Although Edwards led the match with an impressive 272 metres, he struggled to make significant impacts during crucial moments.
His assist for Stephen Crichton's try provided the Blues with their only points, but overall, his contribution was not substantial enough to change the game's outcome.
As the Blues reflect on their performance, it is evident that they need to regroup and enhance their game strategy to contest more effectively in future matches against Queensland.
The game highlighted the gap between the two teams, emphasizing the need for standout performances from the Blues in order to regain the shield in upcoming tournaments.
