In a surprise to no one, Queensland halfback Sam Walker has been named man of the match tonight.
It was a fantastic performance from Walker, whose short – and long – kicking game was once again on fire tonight, as it was in game one, and his sideline conversions were a picture of beauty – kicking 7/7 tonight.

Here’s what he had to say after the match.
“It was really special. I think to sort of bounce back from such a tough loss in game one, for the boys to come out and be really steely and ready to go tonight down here in Melbourne, it was awesome,” he said.
