The 2018 State of Origin series featured a number of terrific individual performances. New South Wales won the shield thanks to a number of great efforts, but the Queensland team remained competitive due to some of their big guns. These 10 players were the best of the series.
The Blues' five-eighth was key for New South Wales, particularly in the first two games. Maloney recorded two try assists in both Games I and II, kicked for goal, defended strongly and took over from Nathan Cleary when he was under pressure.
