Latrell Mitchell, Tom Trbojevic and Josh Addo-Carr also scored for the Blues.
Valentine Holmes put most of the points on the board for the Maroons as he scored a try and made two conversions.

It was a match that marked the end of an era for Queensland – with so many familiar and successful faces not around.
