Well done the Maroons.

2 points down, 12 to go and 1 man down, this is crazy!

Slater showed NSW the importance of picking players in form.

QNZLAND! QNZLAND! From NZ, well done my mighty maroons. Been a long time supporter. And will continue to do so. Congrats champs. 🇳🇿🤝🇦🇺

Not even an Ashley Klein special could get those mugs over the line.....To score two tries when it was 14 on 12 was remarkable. Queenslander!!!

Well Done Maroons!! You had everything thrown at you but still came out victorious!!

There was no way NSW should’ve lost that game, Queensland simply wanted it more and stepped up when it mattered most

The QLD players reacting to Lindsay Collins’ take in the air is gold 😂😂😂😂😂

Cobbo, Walsh, Hammer & Tualagi were on 🔥 Teddy had a shocker & that Api try was a knock on

YOU 👏🏻 NEVER 👏🏻 COUNT 👏🏻 QLD 👏🏻 OUT 👏🏻 They lose Fleger to a ridiculous sin bin with 12 mins to go, lose Taulagi to a HIA, players are forced to play out of position, they’re down on the scoreboard, and they score not one but 2 tries 🔥🔥🔥🔥 A forward outmarks the Blues fullback in the air to setup the final try 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Just shows how much hungrier they are. Brilliant win by the Maroons 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Young Guns from the maroons are showing the blues old dogs the modern rugby style. What a great performance by Recee Walsh tonight. I think he shields off the #1 jersey in the QLD team.

Hats off to Billy and the Maroons. They picked, planned & prepared for Origin. The Blues & Fitler picked a few players to play with The Panthers. 2 points up. 7 mins to go. One man advatange. Oh the Blues🤦‍♀️

I’m a qlder, but I live in Argentina. It’s morning here, and I was getting my boy ready for school and missed flegler’s sin binning. I walk out and see hamiso going in. A few minutes later I switch to the phone, and get in the elevator. I get out to see Collins hugging Munster. I then hear something about being down to 12 men. I automatically assume that NSW are down to 12 and we scored because of that disadvantage…. I’m still shaking my head. Who loses like that? Or better, what team can win even though the are one short? Qld baby! Let’s hope they keep bombing to Walsh and cobbo in game two. That really worked.

Played at Adelaide Oval! It such special moment for me, my family and friends and we had been waiting for 3 year to that happened! However congratulations Queenslander and good game!

Behind on the scoreboard, down to 12 players with 12 minutes to go. Never give up. The Queensland spirit at its finest. Queenslander!

Flegger sin binned for making a legitimate tackle. Poetic justice that qld won from their.

I think it does mean more to the maroons. Starting as a kid of say 8 years , I witnessed QLD lose every game bar one over the next 15 years. I might be a little out with the numbers here but the overall estimate is correct. One game at the Ecka ground when Graeme Langlands was blues and Australia captain, QLD won that 4 to 2. Wasn't televised but broadcast on radio. Incredible to listen to. And those were days when our own best players were coming back to best us. That went on for years. NSW has never had to experience that. Being thrashed by our own Queenslanders all because of money. You can bet your boots it means more to Queenslanders.

Fox getting absolutely dusted by the hammer was a beautiful thing to see

Laurie Daley will be thinking "see I told you it wasn't me"

Hammer time

billy slater didn’t disappoint with the new represents ‼️‼️

Just love how the Queensland players react to Collins catching the ball in Air

The hammer and Reece Walsh celebration is my new background so clean. I’ve got no idea how Queensland win every year with a worse team on paper but the spirit is forever unmatched. Up the Maroons!!!

When you have 1 of the best full backs to ever play the game as coach as well as having ex maroons players coming from that 8 year stint in the coaching staff encouraging these boys no wonder they come out on top. 👏👏👏🔴🔴🔴

A very good example of the difference between a team of champions and a champion team. QLD ALL DAY!

Im not an Aussie but i watch the nrl on a regular basis and i think Fittler is a huge problem. His selections are baffling sometimes and his methods seem strange. Maybe Latrell can come back and save the day but I cant see Queensland losing at Suncorp.

Watched this all the way in America and the boys didn’t disappoint! What a match!

The new king of speed….introducing “HAMMMMER TIMMMMME”!

They tried everything to take that game away from Queensland 😂

1 player in the bin and Queensland fought hard! That's passion!

Queenslanders victory simply shows which players are more passionate of representing their state than just adding another representative jersey to their cabinet. Picking players on form and playing for your state passionately will make you win.

This calls for Hammers totem to be celebrated by every single maroons player on the field with him when he scores! Reece Walsh starting the new wave I like it 🔥

The ref tried his best 😅

Yo Tedesco, did the grass taste good? 😂😂

Tedesco @57Minutes lands a high tackle on Cobbo when scoring. No report given, why, or did I miss something.

As a blues supporter, well done to the Maroons . I bitterly enjoyed they're competitive spirit and no doubt much deserved this win.Time and time again, i just wish that NSW will show that same level of desire and determination from which is lacking.Good luck to both teams for the remaining games and hope to make this an enthralling series.

how good was walsh tonight

Bruh, and the critics were saying Billys lost his mind🤦‍♂️

WOW! Simply wow! What a win.

Its just fine skill vs brute thuggery......that second 'Hammer' try was pure magic.

This generation of young Queenslanders are just amazing. They scored out of set plays.

notice joey was quiet in the last ten minutes what a sook horrible commentor sterlo never did that

watched in Izmir Turkey with 30 people who are soccer fans and now theyre hooked on Rugby League. they loved every minute.

And yet another example of Cleary being a flat track bully and a missing link when it’s hard. The fact he gets compared to the likes of sterling or langer or Johns or Thurston is beyond me

I❤ "State of Origin" 🏉🏆! Great Support from Switzerland 🇨🇭

I love it. Just the usual. Qld under the pump..... breaking NSW heart's. Go Qld

Korosau try is a knock on

What a great sporting occasion great win for Queensland 👍🇨🇮🏉

Wow! I'm a lifelong rugby man but! State of Origin league is simply the best. No comparison.

There were 15 NSW Players on the field at one stage ( 13 + referee + bunker) and qld had 12 players and they still manage to score two tries. How on earth was the Thomas Flegler tackle a sin bin offence.

There's a rift in the NSW camp for sure. Go back and watch the highlights of the nsw tries, and look who celebrates. Its always just the panthers core that celebrate together, and the the other 60% is elsewhere.

Helluva atmosphere. Well done the Maroons.

It was a best selection put together by Billy Slater and the management which is portrayed in this magnificent performance.

Too good boys, and congratulations on that win. Maroons are still the best.

Walsh played like it was his 5th year of Origin . Certainly silenced the critics .

As a proud New South Welshman I can honestly say the blues are clowns.

So much for the Penrith connection. See ya Freddy

Tedesco really is finished at this level

NSW have the better players. QLD have the better team.

Taulagi, the two-try saver performs extremely well, pairing with the Hammer.💪

I think we won't see gagai in a maroon jumper anymore. Hammer did a good job 👏 QUEENLANDER!!🤘

This is what happens when you pick players on form and not because they're your mates

QLD won the game with a man down 😂

UP THE MAROONS,The boys fell through some time of pressure but still pushed through even with one man down.

Have any of you noticed how QLD not only win games but end opposition coaches? Who should be considered for possible future NSW coach?

I thought MMA was good but this might just be the greatest sport on the planet

Maroons won with a man down, QUEENSLANDER

Young Qld players coming through as next generation. Up the Queenslanders 💪🍺💪🍺

Queensland Maroons less go💪 Great try savers from Taulagi💜

We may have to rethink our football here in the United States because these guys are great with no padding on uniforms, tough guys they are 💪

That is absolutely unforgiveable. Freddy needs to be axed. I`m sorry, but we cant keep selecting coaches based on them being good blokes. The reason I say Freddy is he has the call on picking the players and getting them up for the match. The fact is NSW were handed that game on a platter, neutral crowd, QLDer in the sin bin, QLDer with dislocated arm, QLDers in HIA, playing out of position AND STILL COULDNT ICE IT. Simply unforgiveable.

Sooooo good QLD... pressure brings out our best successes 🤙🤙

Ref's tried their best but to no avail ~ QLDER! How luai and teddy missed cobbo in the corner is pretty weak...

That kick from munster setting up that first try was a thing of beauty

Is it me or is Teddy finished from origin

That send off was absolutely ridicules, why not just throw them into a plastic bubble so they don't hurt each other...

Up the mighty maroons!!!!

So much for the "Penrith connection" lol Pangai was chosen cause of Gus, Frizell n Young cause of Uncle Joey. Just choose the best team so there's no excuses, also was Turbo ruled out cause I didn't see him.

Time for Tedesco to retire

so disappointed as a blues fan, we have all these star players, qld have a man down for 10 minutes and we STILL can't win. Just so dissapointing

NSW like to get ahead of themselves thinking they have won the game already let alone the series we have more passion we don’t get ahead of ourselves Queensland are just so good so proud of them

Great game!! Those last 20 minute was a great watch

Great game I love the maroons

The game was gifted to NSW on a golden platter and still the “Penrith Combinations” couldn’t win the game. They aren’t origin players. Congratulations on the win Queensland, a very hard won, but well deserved, victory.

Cleary gone missing all game 😂😂😂

The game winning try by Hammer was great eyes up footy. The 4 in defender was in the middle of the field. DCE and Grant new they had to go coast to coast. NSW should have been up faster if they were up as quick as Hynes theyd have pressured Grant. But Grant got it out with plenty of time to Munster. Munster burns to the outside of the edge defender 4th in, Jai holds up Cleary 3rd in defender. Munster created a 3 on 2 but Fafita wasnt deep enough and so he had to hit the line to gain time but then scoots around Hynes. Hynes missed the tackle but even if he got him he would have gotten the ball away to hammer with an inside man in Fafita. Hammer was chosen as a left centre cause his predominant ball hand is his left hand he also has the space thanks to the incorrect set up by the Blues and Munny knew he had the time and space to get him it. Hammer great effort to palm JAC who had to leave late on account of Munster going so deep into the tackle (that was eventually missed) and Fafita looming. Tedesco slipping over was just icing. Blues mistake was too bunched and not enough line speed to shut down coast to coast. Gave Qld the time and space to get Hammer on the outside of JAC.

The HAMMER just outrun Addor-Carr twice for 2 tries💯💯💯💥💥💥

The Blues sending all our players of for H.I.A yet they had so many head collision it's not funny? Then a BS sinbin actually cost NSW the game?😂😅 How does that even work? QUEENSLAND SPIRIT! QUEENSLANDER! QUEENSLANDER! QUEENSLANDER!❤❤❤

What an awesome & exciting 1st game of Origin! Well done QLD

How was that api try not a knock on

Surely the Blues will now see that Coach Fittler is being outcoached by Coach Slater. His pick of Pangai Jr was as we all saw was nonsense. His bench picks were also out of touch.Latrells injury aside he just seems out of touch. Slater on the other hand made some tough calls but his picks seem to be nearly all correct and his game plan with Ben Hunt starting and Harry Grant off the bench has Freddy with no clue.Qld at Suncorp for a must win? Teddy looks below par so is it Dylan Edwards time or Latrell back there with Cody in at 6? Good luck Freddy.

To think that this QLD side is so young is a scary thought for is the NSW fans

Hammer 🥶

Hunt and Arrow to play centres next game to make it fair for the blues 💀🤣

Tedesco looks to be performing in a circus 🤣

Magic Maroons 🔴🔴🔴

Whoever was in the bunker needs to be sacked for that sin bin. NSW beaten by a 12 man qld side 😅😅😅😅😅

D wins games in origin, especially when you've got someone with Hammer's speed. Left the fox licking his wounds.

As a Blues supporter I’m embarrassed by that performance. The Maroons looked slick and a well oiled machine throughout the match. NSW looked clueless. It was a group of individuals doing their own thing at times. No structure, No shape, Shocking execution of the basics. Billy Slater and the QLD coaching staff got their tactics and game plan spot on.

Crazy that fitler opted to play without a fullback for game 1.
