Kurt Gidley (c)
Captain courageous. But courage only gets you so far. Is fullback his right spot for Origin? 6
Jarryd Hayne
That's twice in a row this bloke's given it his best crack at winning an Origin from the left wing. 9 (BEST ON FIELD)
Joel Monaghan
Poked his head into a few holes but never busted free. 6.5
Jamie Lyon
Not his worst Origin but surely his last. Might be serving drinks in Wee Waa the next time NSW win a series. 4.5
David Williams
Did the pink dye drain into his brain? There's more security in Baghdad than when the Wolfman ran with the ball. 2
Trent Barrett
Supposed to come back and do an "Alfie", got confused in the twilight zone and came out as Les Boyd to rob the match of its best player. 6
Peter Wallace
Ginger Meggs will be reading the comics next time Origin is played after an insipid display showed him out of his depth. 1.5
Brent Kite
This kite was well and truly grounded - first by opposition forwards and then by Bellamy, who's never liked him. 5
Robbie Farah
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. NSW never seemed to have enough troops; this one made too many blues. 4
Michael Weyman
Someone likes their sweets. Played like a cream bun in game one; toffee this time, with a lot more crunch. 6.5
Ben Creagh
Supposed to be the Blues' target man in attack to take out Locky; taken out of action himself most of the time. 6
Luke O'Donnell
Rough and ready, loves the rumble and kept the pressure on Queensland when the Blues rose from the dead. 8
Paul Gallen
The country member for Cronulla (yep, Mickey Paea remembers) had a forgettable start and little improved by the end. 6
Interchange
Josh Morris
Called in to replace Craig Wing after a mix-up; they chose the bloke built like a utility. So-so debut. 5
Justin Poore
Nice shot on the chin of Crocker, who's been asking for it for years. Not much else that was memorable. 5
Glenn Stewart
Energetic game, spoilt by a couple of mistakes but showed he could handle the rise in class. 6.5
Anthony Watmough
The man with the craziest eyes in league was the Blues best off the bench - and better than many starters. 7.5
QLD
Billy Slater
Human after all, made a few errors and never as incisive in attack as he can be. 6.5
Darius Boyd
Ball rarely found its way to his side. No blemishes either and rode Lyon over the sideline to snuff out the Blues. 6
Greg Inglis
Thin Mal. Looked absolutely brilliant with try and a dazzling run before some thug stole his man-of-the-match medal. 8
Willie Tonga
Not seen in this company for several years; punishing defence helped establish Maroon ascendancy. 7.5
Israel Folau
Despite his manifest qualities is becoming something of a target. Clocked off a couple of times in defence. 6.5
Darren Lockyer (c)
Mike Brearley? Looked that way in game one but much more involved last night. 7
Johnathan Thurston
The everywhere man. Didn't lay on the tries like he often does but still managed to be johnny on the spot when needed. 8
Steve Price
High Court judges have to retire at 70: maybe we need a referendum on a mandatory retirement age for props. 7.5
Cameron Smith
Hope his elbow is not to sore after clocking Peter Wallace. Perhaps he had tackled himself stupid? 7.5
Petero Civoniceva
If NSW ever want to win a series again, they'd best start with beating big Pet and Price, who look like they could still do it in walking frames. 7.5
Ashley Harrison
As dull a player to ever lace the boot, but like flour to a cake: Queensland don't rise without someone like him. 7.5
Sam Thaiday
Played a little wide and loose enough to get his curls bouncing. A threat early on the right. 8
Dallas Johnson
The grunt man has had a tough year, losing form and - yesterday - his breakfast. Still did the job. 7
Interchange
Karmichael Hunt
Injury again meant he was thrust into the centres where he looked lost. Safe but never able to assert himself. 6
Ben Hannant
A buggered leg, who cares: I've got another. Ran with plenty of gusto despite his injury and tackled strongly. 8
Nate Myles
Apparently the sort of footballer a girl is happy to take home to meet Dad. Met a few Blues with solid defence. 7
Michael Crocker
Hard to say it's so but the growling dog had his worst ever Origin with too many spilled balls. 4
