Game 3, 1984 State of Origin
July 17, 1984 · Lang Park, Brisbane
Game 3, 1984 State of Origin: New South Wales 22–12 Queensland, at Lang Park, Brisbane on July 17, 1984.
Attendance: 16,559
Dead rubber -- Queensland had already clinched the series 2-0, and fielded several less-experienced players. Queensland's 2 tries are attributed by a QRL official summary to Lindner and Boustead (one each), while a separate rugbyleagueproject.org extract instead credited both to Boustead alone -- the point total is identical either way, and this could not be fully adjudicated between the two versions, so the QRL's per-player attribution is used here, flagged as not fully certain.
