The Blues<\/a>' new-look left edge asked the Maroons major questions in the early stages of State of Origin III<\/a> \u2014 and a Josh Addo-Carr<\/a> try sure to be replayed long into the future was the highlight of the peppering.<\/p>\n

Second-rower Liam Martin botched a couple of openings set up by recalled five-eighth Cody Walker<\/a>, but Addo-Carr capitalised on an opportunity sparked by Walker when he tore down the left wing, chipped, regathered and scored.<\/p>\n

Walker skipped onto an Isaah Yeo pass in New South Wales' half of the field, took a scoot and created an overlap by drawing Daly Cherry-Evans and hitting Bradman Best with a cut-out ball.<\/p>\n

Former Queensland captain\ufeff Cameron Smith gave Addo-Carr's skill a huge rap.<\/p>\n

"That was magic! We all know how fast this man is, but the skill that he showed in this little piece of play down the left-hand side…" Smith said.<\/p>\n

"They go through the hands. Walker again, just chewing up the Queensland numbers and space.<\/p>\n

"(Addo-Carr) looked inside to pass. He was covered. So Josh Addo-Carr said, 'I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself, Cody.' Chip and chase. Scores a try.<\/p>\n

"What a play by the Blues!"<\/p>\n

Thompson's "Slater-esque" call was a throwback to \ufeffBilly Slater's famous try in the 2004 Origin series, when the former superstar fullback swooped on a Darren Lockyer grubber, dashed down the field, chipped over Anthony Minichiello, regathered and scored.<\/p>\n
