Queensland skipper Daly Chery-Evans has been showered with a cacophony of boos as he gave a speech following the Maroons' victory over NSW at Cbus Super Stadium.<\/a><\/p>\n

Queensland won the battle but ultimately lost the war, a thrilling Origin III boilover not enough to undo their series-defining losses in Game one and Game Two.<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite the Maroons' woes, a Game Three victory heralded promise for their future and had Paul Green's troops noticeably up and about at full-time after staving off a series whitewash.<\/p>\n

But fans in the stadium either didn't feel the same or have really long memories, with the Queensland skipper famously reneging on a contract to join the Titans way back in 2015.<\/p>\n

\"Daly<\/p>\n

Called to the stage to speak on behalf of the Maroons, Cherry-Evans was met with boos from the second his name was spoken over the stadium PA system. And it only got worse when he approached the microphone.<\/p>\n

"Well done on NSW on winning this series. Well done lads, you played awesome," he said as jeers rang out in the crowd.<\/p>\n

"I just want to thank the NRL and all the governments for getting these games on, they've done fantastic.<\/p>\n

"And thank you to all the Queensland fans for the first three games, thanks very much."<\/p>\n

\"State<\/p>\n

Cherry-Evans appeared noticeably unimpressed with the scene, owing to how short he kept his speech, a mere 12-seconds.<\/p>\n

Fans on social media were quick to point out the boos may have been owing to the Gold Coast crowd's lingering bitterness towards Cherry-Evans over the contract saga.<\/p>\n

Others were just perplexed that Queenslanders would turn so quickly on the skipper who led them to an unlikely series win last year.<\/p>\n

And in yet another bizarre twist to the tale, some fans pointed out that it was Cherry-Evans' conversion kick under pressure that ultimately proved the difference tonight at Robina Stadium, winning the match for Queensland by two points.<\/p>\n
