Game Three, held at Suncorp Stadium started with three players being knocked out in the opening three minutes of the contest (Cameron Murray, Selwyn Cobbo and Lindsay Collins). After this, Queensland scored the opening try, before NSW exploded to take a 12-6 lead with tries to Jarome Luai and Jacob Saifiti. However, Queensland drew back within two points just before half time, capitalising on a dropped bomb from Daniel Tupou.

The second half began with a brawl between Queensland centre Dane Gagai and New South Wales centre Matt Burton. Gagai and "Burton were both sent to the sin bin." From this moment on, Queensland began to wrestle momentum back through the kicking game of Daly Cherry-Evans and Ben Hunt, pinning New South Wales down their own end. The match was won by a try to Kalyn Ponga and a sealing chargedown try to Hunt, who sprinted 80 metres to score.
