Almost $56,000 was raised from the sale of the 18 NSW Blues jersey's worn in game three of the 2019 Holden State of Origin series.
The highest bid was for the jersey of Man of the Match and Man of the Series, James Tedesco, at $7575.
A NSW Rugby League spokeswoman said Blues captain, Boyd Cordner, had been "moved" by the tragic story of the house fire that claimed the lives of three children. He had wanted to "do something" to help.
"They felt it was important that the sport of Rugby League rallied behind the grief-stricken family from Singleton, because it is a proud Rugby League town and Blake had played for the Singleton Greyhounds and was a Manly Sea Eagles fan."
A GoFundMe campaign has raised almost $262,000.
