Terrific off-load to set up the Blues' opening try. Made somedangerous half-breaks but also produced some costly errors.
Rating: 6 。Matt Scott
A typical workhorse performance from the Cowboys' prop, whomade the job much easier for his Test halves. Mitchell Pearce willfeel the bruises from his crunching hit.
Rating: 7 。Sam Thaiday
A whale of a game. He was like a runaway train against theBlues' defenders. Ran into a hole to score off a Slater pass andthen returned the favour to produce a crucial try for hisfullback.
Rating: 9 。Darren Lockyer (c)
The 34-year-old showed glimpses of old with a long-range breakin the first half in the lead-up to a Cameron Smith try. Controlledplay with his usual poise and composure.
Rating: 7.5 。Glenn Stewart
He performed well in the pressure of Origin. Constantlyin the face of Thurston and Lockyer, looked dangerous on thefringes and made 39 tackles.
Rating: 7 。Jharal Yow Yeh
This kid gets better with every rep match. He smashed BrettMorris into the in-goal to force a line drop-out and was on thespot to score from a Lockyer kick which bounced in hisfavour.
Rating: 8 。Greg Bird
Showed glimpses of class in attack and scored a lateconsolation try, but penalty for attacking the legs of Lockyerafter a kick hurt the Blues.

A big-match player. Ran onto a Johnathan Thurston grubber toscore first points for his team and barged his way through threedefenders to grab a double late in the second half.
Rating: 8.5 。Keith Galloway
Made his Origin debut in the second half. Hardly sighted.
Rating: 4.5 。Interchange。Johnathan Thurston
Set up Inglis for the opening try with a well-weightedgrubber. His kicks were pinpoint but he made some uncharacteristicerrors. Forced off in the second half with a serious kneeinjury.
Rating: 7 。Justin Hodges
Obvious he was lacking match fitness after coming back from ahamstring injury. Lost the ball twice to put his side underenormous pressure.
Rating: 5 。Nate Myles
Gutsy performance, making 111m. He created plenty of momentumfor the backs.
Rating: 7 。Interchange。Kurt Gidley
Always looked dangerous with his sniping from dummy-halfand found plenty of space around the rucks. Made a staggering 42tackles off the bench. |
Rating: 7.5 。Mitchell Pearce
It's clear he's not even close to being the world's besthalfback. His first clearing kick sailed out on the full. The Blueslacked structure. Showed glimpses of his best with a bullet pass tosend Jarryd Hayne on a long-range sprint when the game was lost. Rating: 6

Rating: 5.5 。Michael Ennis
Came off the field injured in the 23rd minute. Didn'thave a chance to shine.
Rating: 4 。Jamie Soward
A tough night for the five-eighth as the Maroonsdominated possession and field position. Always looked likely tobreak the line. He'll play for NSW for the long haul.
Rating: 7 。Cameron Smith
The classy hooker again showed he's ready to take over fromLockyer as Maroons' skipper. Burrowed over from dummy-half for atry. Placed on report late for slamming his knees into JarrydHayne's back.
Rating: 9 。Petero Civoniceva
In possibly his last Origin, Civoniceva made a massive 198m upthe middle. Surely he can run around for one more year?
Rating: 8.5 。Ben Hannant
Always digs deep but was a tad quiet. The Polar Bear wasunlucky to be denied a try late in the match.
Rating: 5.5 。Anthony Minichiello
Had a horror night at the back despite scoring a try justbefore the break. Shocking error off a Lockyer kick resulted in atry to Yow Yeh.
Rating: 4.5 。Darius Boyd
Solid returns of the ball and dependable without producinganything spectacular.
Rating: 5.5 。Jarryd Hayne
