Queensland has 18 days to find a way to stop Tom Trbojevic after he scored three tries and set up another as NSW flogged the Maroons 50-6 in the State of Origin opener.
When including NRL football at Manly, Trbojevic has now scored 11 tries and set up 14 in just eight games this year, prompting questions over whether he's the game's best player when fit."He's going really well.
The last time Trbojevic scored a hat-trick for the Blues at centre, Queensland limited his touches in the next clash and thought they'd found his kryptonite.He regularly combined directly with fellow centre Latrell Mitchell, grubbering for one of the South Sydney star's tries when moving across to the right.
"I don't think we realised how much he was going to be in the picture tonight, but now we understand, I know we will be far better prepared.Queensland will face other issues in trying to level the series.
