2024 State of Origin series
The 2024 State of Origin series is the 43rd annual best-of-three series between the Queensland and New South Wales rugby league teams. Before this series, Queensland had won 24 times, NSW 16 times, with two series drawn.
Game I
Game I was held at Accor Stadium in Sydney.
Michael Maguire made his Origin coaching debut for New South Wales.[1][2]
After initially missing selection, former New South Wales captain James Tedesco was a late inclusion after an injury to fullback Dylan Edwards.[3][4]
The result was a foregone conclusion when Joseph Sua'ali'i was sent off in the 8th minute[5] for a high hit on Reece Walsh. Sua'ali'i's shoulder made direct contact with Walsh's head knocking him out and ruling him out of the match with a HIA 1 concussion. Sua'ali'i was subsequently charged with a grade two reckless high tackle offence.[6]
The 38–10 score was Queensland's biggest ever win in Sydney. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow scored a hat-trick of tries, the first Queenslander to do this since Valentine Holmes in Game 1 of 2017.

Game III
Game III was held at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. The first half was a low-scoring affair with Queensland going into half time with a 2-0 lead courtesy of a successful penalty taken by Valentine Holmes. In the second half the close scoring game continued until New South Wales broke the game open with two converted tries scored in quick succession by Bradman Best and Mitchell Moses. With a two games to one finish to the series, New South Wales lifted the 2024 State of Origin Shield, the first series-deciding win by New South Wales in Queensland since 2005. Angus Crichton was named the recipient of the Wally Lewis Medal.
A melee near the Queensland bench area in the 30th minute resulted in Jeremiah Nanai (Queensland) and Cameron Murray (New South Wales) being sent to the sin bin by referee Ashley Klein. Both players were later charged with grade two contrary conduct charges by the NRL Judiciary. Additionally, New South Wales reserve player Haumole Olakau'atu was sent off after entering the field of play to engage in the melee.[7] Olakau'atu was charged with a grade three contrary conduct charge for his part in the melee. In total nine players were charged with offences from the melee, while Kurt Capewell (Queensland) was charged following two separate incidents in the first half.[8][9][10]
