Queensland Triumphs Over NSW After Suaali'i's Early Send Off in State of Origin Game I

A high tackle by Joseph Suaali'i left NSW with 12 men, paving the way for Queensland's commanding 38-10 victory.

Joseph Suaali'i was sent off in the eighth minute for a high tackle on Reece Walsh, marking the fastest send off in Origin history.
Queensland capitalized on the numerical advantage, with Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow scoring a hat-trick and Daly Cherry-Evans named man of the match.
NSW struggled to reorganize defensively, conceding two tries down the side Suaali'i would have defended.
Despite brief moments of resistance, NSW couldn't overcome the early setback and now face a challenging series ahead.
The next game will be held in Melbourne, where NSW must win to keep their series hopes alive.
