To be fair, this stat read very differently after 55 minutes of Game 2. NSW 3.5 secs compared to QLD 3.9 secs. That is close to 3 seconds slower per set, which, in the run of the game, makes a significant difference in both getting your defensive line set in defence and allowing time and space in attack.
