Get ready for a wild ride as NSW Blues take on Queensland Maroons in the 2024 State of Origin series opener!

State of Origin 2024 Game 1 saw the NSW Blues facing off against the Queensland Maroons in a thrilling showdown at Accor Stadium in Sydney. The stage was set for an intense battle as fans eagerly awaited to see if the Blues could break the Maroons' dominance.

The game started with high expectations for NSW with a new-look team led by a fresh coach and captain. However, the match took a dramatic turn when Blues rookie, Joseph Suaalii, received the fastest send-off in State of Origin history in just the seventh minute, shifting the momentum in Queensland's favor.

Despite the setback, the Blues fought hard, but ultimately fell short with the Queensland Maroons emerging victorious with a 20-10 lead. The game was filled with surprises, showcasing the unpredictability and excitement that the State of Origin series is known for.

In a shocking turn of events, a power outage in Sydney left some fans in the dark during the game, adding another layer of drama to the already intense atmosphere. The match may not have ended as NSW fans hoped, but the stage is now set for an epic comeback in Game 2.

As the dust settles from the Game 1 showdown, one of the most talked-about moments was Joseph Suaalii's record-breaking send-off, highlighting the intensity of the rivalry between the Blues and Maroons. Additionally, the unexpected power outage added a unique twist to the game, ensuring that this State of Origin clash will be remembered for years to come.
