The Queensland Maroons faced a heartbreaking defeat in the State of Origin series, with the NSW Blues capturing victory in front of an enthusiastic audience at Suncorp Stadium.
The Maroons delivered a perplexing performance, as they had appeared dominant for a significant portion of the series, yet many key players struggled to hit their stride.
Below is a rating of each Queensland player from Wednesday night's Game 3.
As always, at the center of the action, he appeared threatening in offense. He had Mitchell Moses in discomfort early on but just threw a pass too far ahead of Selwyn Cobbo when an opportunity arose. He endured a heavy tackle (illegally, by the looks of it) from Hudson Young while attempting to secure a high ball and was eventually substituted for Reece Walsh to take over at fullback after Sam Walker cleared his concussion protocols. He was nearly among his team's standout players.
