Queensland Maroons win State of Origin 2016

The Queensland Maroons have won the 2016 State of Origin Series with a 26‑16 victory over New South Wales Blues at Suncorp Stadium last night.

Dane Gagai scored a hat-trick for the Maroons to take a 20‑10 advantage 18 minutes from full‑time.

The unbreakable bond and unshakeable belief was again the over‑riding difference for Queensland.

Making matters worse for the Blues was a shoulder injury that sidelined Adam Reynolds for the final portion of the game and has the halfback in serious doubt for Game Three.

The Games three of the State of Origin will be held in Sydney on the 13th of next month.
