Dead rubber -- New South Wales had already sealed the series 2-0. Cameron Smith became the first player to reach 20 State of Origin games in this match. One source's try list also credited Johnathan Thurston with a try, but that version does not reconcile with Queensland's confirmed goal-kicking tally; the version recorded here (5 tries, 5 conversions, 1 penalty goal) is the one that reconciles exactly with the final score. Exact minutes for Slater's, Boyd's and Cronk's tries are approximate.
