Tries worth 3 points in 1982. Queensland's full try list (Miles, Ribot, Vautin, rather than Miles alone) was confirmed via a dedicated follow-up research pass after an initial pass under-credited Queensland's scoring; both rugbyleagueproject.org's scoresheet and a QRL official PDF summary independently agree on this list. Only 2 of each team's interchange players could be confirmed for this game.
