00:02I'm very lucky to be joined by ABC Sports' sideline man tonight in John Gibbs.
00:06John, what is going to happen?
00:08Well, if I come from an analytical perspective, I think it'll be a Queensland win.
00:12Everything points to them winning, but I think it's a much better New South Wales side, particularly
00:18on the right side defence.
00:19They bring in Liam Martin, they bring in Stephen Crichton, and they'll do a better job than
00:24what's been done on that left-hand side, attacking-wise for Queensland against Ponga, The Hammer, Selma
00:32and Cobo.
00:32They've killed us down that channel, and I think that'll be fixed up.
00:36Continuity-wise, Queensland have the advantage, they've only made one change the whole series.
00:41The last two games, 1-13, have been exactly the same.
00:44They need to contain Harry Grant, obviously he's killed them, but I think they've got Moses,
00:50best, they were there for State of Origin Decider number three, so I think it'll be closer
00:55than people think.
00:56It's been really high scoring the opening two matches, will it be the same this time
01:00around?
01:00No, I don't think so, because New South Wales has won the last two games at Lang Park, won
01:05the State of Origin Decider, and then game one of 2025, they conceded one try.
01:10If they come with that attitude, they're in with a real chance.
01:13So who wins it?
01:16Queensland by two.
01:17Well there you have it, we're not too far away, we'll find out shortly.
01:20Stay calm,
01:20you
01:21you
