QLD PLAYER RATINGS FOR ORIGIN I
1 Valentine Holmes - 6
Wasn't given much of a chance to show off his talent at his home stadium and came up with a couple of errors.
2 Xavier Coates - 5
Looked dangerous when he had the chance but came up with some costly handling errors to put his side under more pressure.
3 Kurt Capewell - 6
Came up with a bad miss on Tom Trbojevic for the Blues' first try but got one back at the other end later in the first half.
4 Dane Gagai - 5
Had a tough night containing Latrell Mitchell and Brian To'o and didn't have the same impact he usually does at this level.
5 Kyle Feldt - 4
Gave away a penalty for running Josh Addo-Carr off the ball on the last tackle, giving away a set of six that led to NSW's first try.
6 Cameron Munster - 6
Made a costly error at the end of a set in the first half but never stopped trying, setting up Kurt Capewell for Qld's first try.
7 Daly Cherry-Evans - 5
Wasn't given much space with the ball and was forced to defend as NSW got a roll on late in the second half.
8 Christian Welch - 2
Had one hit up and made seven tackles before he was taken off in the 12th minute after a head clash with Brian To'o. Failed his HIA and didn't return.
9 Harry Grant - 5
Was explosive in his debut last year but struggled to find the same kind of space around the ruck this time around.
10 Tino Fa'asuamaleaui - 6
Got through plenty of work in the middle with little fuss, but fatigue set in late.
11 Felise Kaufusi - 5
Came up with some bad defensive misses when fatigue hit in the second half, letting Jarome Luai through to set up Tom Trbojevic's second try.
12 David Fifita - 6
Played big minutes and troubled the NSW defence through the middle, finishing with 116 running metres, the most of any Queensland forward.
13 Jai Arrow - 5
Chased a target on Nathan Cleary but only punched out 56 metres in two stints.
14 Alexander Brimson - 4
Came on with just 30 minutes to play but didn't have the field position to have much of an impact.
15 Jaydn Su'a - 4
Finished with just 46 metres and 10 tackles from a 35-minute stint.
16 Moeaki Fotuaika - 7
The Titans forward was one of Queensland's best, churning through 108 metres and 29 tackles with no misses.
17 Joe Ofahengaue - 4
Came up with a silly play to take out James Tedesco and give away a penalty and racked up a few errors.
