Immediately looked an Origin fullback, playing a hand in both Selwyn Cobbo's tries including a sizzling cut-out ball for his second, while a try-saving tackle on James Tedesco was also impressive.
2 Selwyn Cobbo - 8.5
Two tries including a stunning second that saw him beat multiple defenders. Left early with a hip complaint but not before being close to Queensland's best.
3 Valentine Holmes - 7
The Queensland centre did his job well, assisting in Cobbo's first try and running for 133m.
4 Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow - 9
Some questioned his selection, but two tries including a brilliant match-winner shut his critics up. Moved to a wing when duty called and played the role there too.
5 Murray Taulagi - 5
Some unbelievable defensive efforts saved two certain first-half tries, but was otherwise fairly well held.
6 Cameron Munster - 9
Quiet until he wasn't, assisting Tabuai-Fidow's second before scoring his own try to seal the deal.
7 Daly Cherry-Evans - 7
Put on a show via foot with a lengthy 495m kicking display, including a 40-20, and played the role he needed to.
15 Tino Fa'asuamaleaui - 6
Franked his late elevation to the starting 13 with a big early shift, finishing with 105m.
9 Ben Hunt - 5.5
As reliable as ever in his 53 minutes, defended with guts without changing the game in attack.
16 Reuben Cotter - 8.5
An enormous display from the North Queensland unit, starting on a prop and then moving to an edge in an 80-minute display. Finished with a team-high 37 tackles.
11 David Fifita - 6.5
Recalled to the Origin arena and looked like he belonged there with NSW struggling to contain some of his trademark violent runs.
12 Tom Gilbert - 3
Left early with a shoulder injury after making only one run and missing two tackles in his 19 minutes.
13 Patrick Carrigan - 7
Did his job again, playing 67 minutes and making some huge runs in a 123m, 27-tackle display.
8 Tom Flegler - 2
Sin-binned for a shoulder charge late and will be grateful to his teammates, who delivered two tries in his 10-minute absence.
14 Harry Grant - 4
Wasn't his impactful self off the bench, but got through his work and delivered 34 tackles.
10 Lindsay Collins - 7
Jumped over his club captain Tedesco to offload to Munster and seal the win. Made some errors but ended with 114m and played a vital role.
17 Jai Arrow - 6
Helped combat the energy NSW brought off the bench with an 89m showing.
