State of Origin II, 2023 | Queensland Maroons v New South Wales Blues | Match Highlights

The calculus of Cherry-Evans' try-saving run to tackle - watch him just pick the correct field vector to sprint before he even looks to execution of the tackle. Superb hunting skills. Highlight of the game for me.

Seeing Fittler shaking hands with the bench as the game ended, knowing full well that was his last stint ever as a coach🤣

QLD's backline is one of the most talented Origin has ever seen, in both attack and defense. The amount of key defensive plays made by either Holmes or the Hammer tonight was awesome to see.

It's amazing, when Brad Fitler first came to coach Origin he knew what N.S.W needed, fresh blood and football talent! Now he has fallen into the same old N.S.W selection trap! mates & thugs before footballers! Wingers and Centers making hit ups, 2nd rowers making glory runs, It's stinks of the 8 year run all over again.

and the fact that Nanai and Taulgi are still new and already won two origin series is impressive

BILLY THE KID, HAS ONCE AGAIN DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB. GO MAROONS 🔥🔥

Freddy you’ve bluffed your way through the last 6 series in charge…Hope you enjoyed your last champ 👍

Should've picked Campbell Graham & probably given Nicho another chance, Walsh is a little champion

Ive never seen worse attack from the blues on the tryline. QLDs line speed was epic.

No one talking about DCE chase on Critta😈

Props to QLD...Collins wasnt satisfied being the hero of game 1, he wanted to be the hero of game 2 as well 😂 Holmes, what a legend‼️ Cotter & Carrigan! 😤 pair of workhorses!!! Munster & Grant giving me Cronk & Smith flashbacks, Storm combo 💯 Skipper DCE showing what it takes to be a leader 🖤 Coates perfect replacement for Cobbo, put a huge shift in 🔥 Nanai also coming into the squad firing on all cylinders 🤙🏾 Hammer at center 😬 sheesh...deadly 😵 Taulagi, what a defender! what an attacker! 👏🏾 Big Tino, Fotuaika & Fifita are not only GC Titans but also Titans in real life 😂💪🏾 & my guy Walshy ofc showing Luai that actions speak louder than words 😂 too many heroes in this Mighty Maroons outfit...if you didnt believe in the QLD spirit before this series, you better believe now 🤭 The masters of Origin, they know what it means to turn up for your team, for your mate & for your state 🙏🏾

Loved the ending So deserved for Luai and Addo-Carr

As a Queenslander I’d once again like to thank Luai. Your action at the end of the game summed up your character precisely. I do hope Fittler picks you for game 3 so that Qld can be guaranteed a clean sweep.

POWERFUL, DETERMINED AND INSPIRED is what the maroons were tonight. No one can take away the fact that queenslands spirit in origin has been, and will always be the greatest feeling ever in rugby league history. Up the MIGHTY MAROONS

Walsh toying with them, too good setting up tries

Coates and his aerial put downs 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Ado Carr, Luai Tedesco and Fittler need the boot. That defence from QLD was elite.

Isaiah yeo, the bloke who never passes.

As a proud qlder, the first 2 tries were arguable but there’s no excuses for the others💀😂

Can’t even lie, I may be a maroons fan but how on God’s Earth did NSW not score tries?? Like genuinely, with all that possession in the world and only scored one.
