Harry Grant has spoken candidly about Queensland's failure to hold onto the State of Origin shield, reflecting on a series defeat at the hands of New South Wales.
The Maroons rake acknowledged that NSW made Queensland pay across the series, with the Blues ultimately proving too strong when it counted most in game three to claim the Origin trophy.
Grant's comments come in the wake of a bitterly disappointing result for Queensland, who were unable to defend the shield they had previously held. The loss marks a significant blow for the Maroons and sets the stage for a rebuilding period ahead of next year's series.
