Queensland legend Paul Vautin has slammed the Maroons' performance<\/a> in their 50-6 loss to New South Wales as one of the worst ever seen in State of Origin.<\/p>\n

In front of a capacity crowd in Townsville, the home side served up an inept performance<\/a> as the Blues ran riot, the 44-point margin their biggest ever Origin win.<\/p>\n

It is just the second time New South Wales had scored 50 points in an Origin match, after their 56-16 win in Game Three of the 2000 series.<\/p>\n

"Well that was no fun at all," Vautin said on Nine's coverage. "It was terrible."<\/p>\n

Asked if he could find a single positive in the horror defeat, Vautin was blunt.<\/p>\n

"Only when the full-time hooter went," he said, shaking his head.<\/p>\n

"That's one of the worst I've ever seen."<\/p>\n

And in an ominous sign for Queensland, Vautin was at a loss to suggest how they can turn it around for Game Two of the series.<\/p>\n

"I don't know where they go from here. Lets give credit to New South Wales for a start, they were outstanding right from the get-go," he said.<\/p>\n

"Nathan Cleary took control of the game. There was a period during the second half when Junior Paulo and Payne Haas took the field, the commandeered the middle of the ruck, and they carved them up.<\/p>\n

"On the back of that, they were able to score more tries through Tommy (Trbojevic) and Latrell (Mitchell).<\/p>\n

The New South Wales centres were unstoppable<\/a>, with Trbojevic scoring three tries and Mitchell two.<\/p>\n

\"Kyle<\/p>\n

"They were outstanding, those two," Vautin said. "Everyone thought they would be, that was going to be the danger for Queensland, and we couldn't control them.<\/p>\n

"NSW were fantastic, Latrell was great, Tommy was great, full kudos goes to them, but Queensland were dreadful."<\/p>\n

Vautin said the reasons for the record loss were clear.<\/p>\n

"We were out-tackled, they tackled harder than we did, they ran harder than we did, they did everything better.<\/p>\n

"Simple as that, that's why we got beaten."<\/p>\n
