- Kalyn Ponga (Fullback) 8.5/10
Two try assists, three goals and 154 run metres in his first starting gig as the fullback for the Maroons.
- Corey Oates (Wing) 7.5/10
Scored an athletic try and almost had a double. Ran for 137 run metres and broke seven tackles.
- Michael Morgan (Centre) 6/10
Was threatening on the edge but had a few defensive misreads in an unfamiliar position.
- Will Chambers (Centre) 7/10
Rocks and diamonds โ as heโs known for โ Finished the contest with 118 run metres and a line break.
- Dane Gagai (Wing) 9/10
Saves his three best games a year for the Maroons and he didnโt disappoint. Scored a double and ran for a whopping 270 run metres, including a 90-metre effort in the second half.
- Cameron Munster (Five-Eighth) 8/10
Had a few early lapses in defence but made up for it with a strong running and kicking game. Ran for 145 run metres and broke seven tackles.
- Daly Cherry-Evans (Halfback) 7.5/10
A solid outing in his first appearance as skipper. Kicking game was on point and organised his troops, was robbed of a try assist with a clever kick that would have landed on Matt Gillettโs chest.
- Jai Arrow (Prop) 7/10
Another workhorse performance from the Gold Coast lock forward.
- Ben Hunt (Hooker) 7.5/10
His passing game from hooker may still need a little work but he was still as influential as ever from dummy-half. Finished the game with 53 tackles.
- Josh Papalii (Prop) 7.5/10
One of the best forwards on the park and even found himself on the edge at times. Finished the game with 135 run metres and 27 tackles.
- Felise Kaufusi (Second Row) 8/10
Continues to impress in the representative arena. Was dangerous every time he carried the football and stung in defence.
- Matt Gillett (Second Row) 6.5/10
Didnโt look out of place in his first game wearing the Maroon since the 2017 series.
- Josh McGuire (Lock) 7/10
Ran for 107 metres and completed 44 tackles in a solid knock. Now the most senior forward in the Maroons pack.
- Moses Mbye (Interchange) 2/10
Didnโt get much time to shine (8 minutes).
- Joe Ofahengaue (Interchange) 6/10
Didnโt look out of place but his defence was a little shaky. Finished his 33-minute stint with 133 run metres but his tackle efficiency languished at around 75 percent.
- Dylan Napa (Interchange) 5/10
Made an impact as soon as he hit the paddock. Went into his shell after bombing a certain try however.
- David Fifita (Interchange) 5.5/10
Showed he belonged in an impressive stint.
