Here are the Queensland Maroons Rugby League player ratings for game one of the 2024 Rugby League State Of Origin series. Queensland won the game 38-10 after a very early send off that saw Joseph Sua’ali’i gone from the field after just 6 minutes.
The Queenslanders managed to walked away with a big with Dally Cherry-Evans pulling out all the tricks like a professional, leaving you wondering what’s in the golfer’s bag.
Remember, 5 points for below average. 6 points in a pass mark. 7 points is better than average. From there, you can work it out!
