Queensland have won the first-ever three-game Women’s State of Origin series thanks to a commanding 22-6 victory over NSW in Townsville. Maroons five-eighth Tarryn Aiken tormented the Sky Blues with her kicking game at a slippery Queensland Country Bank Stadium to clinch the decider in front of a sell-out crowd. NSW were their own worst enemy on Thursday night, their abysmal ball-handling stymieing any attacking opportunity they created.
The Gold Coast centre ran for 112 metres, made four tackle busts and out-muscled the NSW right edge in defence. At one point she ploughed Sky Blues centre Jessica Sergis into touch to regain possession. Queensland continued to pile on the pressure, with Aiken’s probing kicking repeatedly finding Tonegato and her fellow outside backs out of position. Aiken picked up her second try assist later in the first half with a grubberkick triggering some Keystone Cops defending from NSW.
