Three series wins in four years does not a dynasty make, but with each passing triumph it's clear Brad Fittler and his men are singing from the same song sheet Mal Meninga carried in his back pocket during Queensland's decade of dominance.
Since taking the helm in 2018, Fittler's only series defeat came in 2020, courtesy of a disastrous second half in Adelaide in the Ampol State of Origin series opener and a liberal sprinkling of wily Wayne Bennett's maroon magic dust.
Prior to the Blues' most-capped player assuming the coaching reins, NSW had lost three series on the bounce after briefly stopping the Maroons juggernaut in 2014.
