That was back in 2020 and was the only Queensland win in State of Origin for years – can they get back on top and take the win in Game I of the series? Traditional as it ticks all the boxes for what we expected from a Queensland side back in the day when they enjoyed a monopoly over the Shield: there’s hardworking forwards, pacey outside backs and creative players who, unlike their New South Wales counterparts, won’t be restricted by structure and will play what they see.

“If Val doesn’t make that decision to come in from the wing, that’s a try every week. “I know Stephen Crichton wasn’t, he wasn’t expecting Cameron Munster to strip the ball. But it’s the little moments that count in State of Origin.” He initially beat Cherry-Evans and then Reuben Cotter before chipping a small kick. “From the other side of the field, that could be the play of the game. What a player.” You don’t do one and the game gets away from you.” That’s a superstar. That was enormous.
