State of Origin player ratings: See who starred and who flopped as NSW blew Queensland away to take the series to a decider in Brisbane

NSW have sent the State of Origin series to a decider, claiming game two by demolishing Queensland in a 38-18 bloodbath.

In front of 90,084 fans at Melbourne's MCG, Mitchell Moses led the Blues to victory with four try assists, squaring the series heading into the July 17 decider in Brisbane.

NSW have not won a decider in Brisbane since 2005 but they will go to Suncorp Stadium brimming with confidence after bullying the Maroons off the park.

Queensland whizz Reece Walsh was barely sighted as the Blues cruised to a 34-0 halftime lead with Brian To'o and fellow winger Zac Lomax scoring two tries each.

The Maroons showed a semblance of a second-half fightback but they were unable to reel in a dominant NSW side.

Here, Daily Mail Australia's Shayne Bugden provides his player ratings after the big match.  

New South Wales

1. Dylan Edwards - 8

He couldn't have imagined a better debut than that. Scored a try, put Latrell Mitchell over for another, was rock solid under the high ball except for one blemish, and clocked up 176 metres with the ball.  

2. Brian To'o - 7

Two tries, a massive help to his forwards with strong runs as the Blues came out of their own end, broke tackles with regularity, and helped set the tone early when he forced a dropout with some excellent defence. 

3. Stephen Crichton - 8

On another Origin night, his spectacular juggling intercept and 70-metre burst off it would have been a match-turner, but the game was already over by then. A constant threat with and without the ball, cemented his status as one of the best big-game players in the comp. 

4. Latrell Mitchell - 8

Plenty of Souths fans will be asking, where the hell has that been? He was committed and incredibly strong from the first tackle he took, dynamite in defence, crossed the stripe and his flick pass to set up a To'o try was a thing of beauty.   

5. Zac Lomax - 7

6. Jarome Luai 8

7. Mitchell Moses 9

8. Jake Trbojevic 6

9. Reece Robson 7

10. Payne Haas 7
