This will be the making of Tedesco MOTM by far. all this fifita hayne and klemmer talk has let teddy fly completely under the radar and he's found his feet at this level now after game 1, he knows he belongs.

I can see qld cheap shotting Tedesco majority of the game. I think he will be more contained, and if he is nsw's attack will be cooked

I know it's a team orientated game but qld will be silly if they don't have a target on Hayne, Fifita and Tedesco. Shut those 3 down and should be able to beat NSW quite easily

But it's a lot easier said than done

Only upside to our backline is that Teddy can get injured and you just move Hayne or Dugan to a position they are even better in and Bird replaces them. Backline is still pretty strong.

Chambers is the only proper centre playing in the centres tonight. That could be an advantage to Queensland.

We're blessed to have a calibur player of birdy on the bench. Even in game 1 when piss got injured he slotted into 5/8 easy as piss.

Even though he's a benchie, I find his role just as important as any starting player

It appears the result has already been decided according to NSW supporters.

Love it.

Huh? People aren't allowed to make predictions now are they

FYI I think this game will be a lot closer and I'm flipping a coin to who will win. But I think NSW's desire will be greater than qld

Slater & Thurston returning is fine but if the Maroons are as soft up the middle as they were in Game 1, it won't make a shred of difference. Hope for their sake Hess does a job.

But hope for NSW's sake he doesn't.

Qld will be much better in the middle. This will be close. Hope.we can hang on.and.close it out.

We got this. Our forwards will roll through theirs. Thurston never plays well at ANZ and is underdone.

Do you think the lack of game time this year will play against him? People went on about how good he was in Darwin but that was against an ordinary Eels outfit on a bowling green. A thicker grass field and a fired up Blues will be a far stiffer contest than the Eels in Darwin.

Haha. The Blues are probably shitting themselves as they approach an Origin game they shouldn't lose. We have seen it all before. History is a beautiful thing!
