The Queensland side played a test match against the Sunshine Coast Falcons to a crowd of thousands, many sporting maroon jerseys and merch as they cheered on.
During the game, the announcers kept things light joking with the crowd to put their phones away in case they were “Blue spies”.
Post-match, players spent hours meeting their supporters, signing autographs and chatting with fans.
