Queensland's Dynasty Years
Queensland's most dominant period was from 2006-2013, winning 8 consecutive series. This unprecedented run included:
- 3–0 whitewashes in 2010
- Only 7 games lost out of 24 during the 8-year streak
- Players like Johnathan Thurston, Cameron Smith, Billy Slater, and Greg Inglis dominating
Notes
- In 1987 there was an extra game played in the USA, won by NSW.
- The series of 1999 and 2002 are considered drawn series, as each team won a single game of the 3 match series, with the final game concluding in a draw (there was no overtime rule at the time).
- 2025: Tom Dearden won the Wally Lewis Medal despite not playing in Game 1.
- Queensland came back from losing Game 1 to win the series for the first time since 2017.
