NSW Blues ... concede a try to Queensland during State of Origin 2. Source: Mark Evans / News Limited

New South Wales were extremely quiet in their 26-6 thrashing at the hands of Queensland and we break down the team performance and give every player a score out of 10.

Fullback: Josh Dugan - Looked one of the Blues' most dangerous all night, but never really got into a position to get some points on the board. Rating: 6.

Winger: Brett Morris - Capitalised on the only chance he got when he pounced on a Farah kick for the Blues' only try on what was otherwise a quiet night. Rating: 6.

Centre: Michael Jennings - Was lucky not to be binned for flying into the brawl, which was his most telling impact on a quiet night. Rating: 5.

Centre: Josh Morris - Didn't excel, didn't disappoint. Not a game in which he could really shine. Rating: 6.

Winger: Nathan Merritt - A debut to forget. Exposed defensively a number of times, which was one of NSW's biggest fears coming into the game. Rating: 4.

Five-eighth: James Maloney - The kicking game which catapulted the Blues to victory in game one was nowhere to be seen. Rating: 5.

Halfback: Mitchell Pearce - Ditto for Pearce regarding the kicking game, which Maroons legend Wally Lewis described as deplorable. Rating: 5.

Prop: Paul Gallen - Had just two runs in the opening half with his side staved of possession, but he did his best in the second stanza to get the Blues back into the game. Rating: 7.

Hooker: Robbie Farah - Tackled his heart out, but struggled to make any impact in attack until the clever kick for Brett Morris to score. Rating: 6.

Prop: Aaron Woods - Would have liked to have done more in his first Origin game than five runs for 38 metres, much of which came in the last ten minutes. Rating: 5.

Second-row: Luke Lewis - Gave it everything in both attack and defence. If he'd had a few more teammates do the same, his impact would have been more telling. Rating: 7.

Second-row: Ryan Hoffman - His lack of punch out wide could cost him when it comes to picking the Blues side for the decider. Rating: 5.

Lock: Greg Bird - He gives the Blues a rugged quality, but his decision to run into the brawl proved costly. Rating: 6.

Interchange:

Andrew Fifita - His introduction helped stop the early rot with some powerful runs. Rating: 7.

Trent Merrin - His best display in a sky blue jumper was marred by the punch which kick-started the brawl which saw four players sin-binned. Rating: 5.

Josh Reynolds - Got a taste midway through the second half, but impact was negligible. Rating: 5.

Anthony Watmough - Never seems to go close to dominating Origin games like he once used to. Rating: 5.
