  • Queensland to win with a 1-12 margin
  • Game total UNDER 44.5 Total Points
  • Mark Nawaqanitawase to score 1+ Tries
  • Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow to score 1+ Tries

The likelihood of this game going down to the final 10 minutes is pretty high with this series swinging oin momentum pushing it to a decider. The edge is definitely with QLD, especially with the match being played at Suncorp Stadium. 

Both teams should be playing mistake-free footy at early trying to play the field position game, while wearing out their opponents defensively which should see the first half being low scoring. When tries do begin to flow both Mark Nawaqanitawase and Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow have proven that they are clinical at crossing the line at Origin level.

  • Jeremiah Nanai ATS
  • Haumole Olakau'atu ATS
  • Sam Walker ATS
  • James Tedesco ATS

Bet Reasoning

We have put together four players can break this decider open with their power game and their ability to score tries when the game is on the line. 

Haumole Olakau'atu has a chip on his shoulder after being left out of Origin 2 and will want to cement his spot in the Blues side for years to come with a huge performance. James Tedesco proved he is the go-to man for NSW when the game is in the balance is is expected to contend for Man of the Match if the Blues get up. Jeremiah Nanai is a trump card for Billy Slater and the thought of the Cowboys backrower running onto Sam Walker kicks inside the 20m is a frightening thought for Blues fans. And just that, everyone is watching how the ball will come out of Walkers hands near the line, however the Maroons halfback has a knack for holding onto it sometimes.

  • Queensland 13+ Winning Margin
  • Over 24.5 Points for Queensland
  • Selwyn Cobbo to Score 2+ Tries

Bet Reasoning

We saw QLD's dominance in Game 2 of the series and we all know over the last 10 deciders that the Maroons dominant in the all-on-the-line situation is a a huge factor, winning 8 of the last 10. New South Wales have made plenty of changes to their squad and there is a big chance that it won't pay off and QLD will gain momentum and run away with the result, making a statement in front of their home fans at Suncorp Stadium.

If We Have To - Big Effort Blues

  • New South Wales +4.5 Handicap
  • Nathan Cleary Man of the Match
  • Hudson Young to score 1+ Tries

Bet Reasoning

It is no secret that we are QLD Fans and if we are taking multis seriously, we have to put on bet with NSW winning as the narrative (as a cover bet of course, not because it is going to happen).

Just so I can stay biased, I'll take them to cover as the underdog, so QLD can still win! Nathan Cleary is going to have to have his best Origin performance if he is going to pull together the Blues to scrounge some sort of fight in this game, so taking him to win Man of the Match honours is a given in this scenario.  There is always talk about the Blues not getting Origin, but one fellow that does is Hudson Young. the fight in the blues back rower is immense and he brings intensity and mongrel which is needed against any maroons side in a decider.
