Queensland look to keep State of Origin 2026 alive as they take on New South Wales in Game 2 at the MCG this Wednesday.<\/p>\n

New South Wales vs Queensland<\/h2>\n

The Blues produced one of the all-time great comebacks in Game 1, fighting their way to a 22-20 victory despite trailing 20-0 after the opening quarter.<\/p>\n

Coach Laurie Daley has made some questionable changes to his side as New South Wales attempt to close out the series, however.<\/p>\n

Mitchell Moses comes into five-eighth for Ethan Strange, despite the former being sidelined by injury until recently and the latter playing out of his skin in Game 1.<\/p>\n

Payne Haas comes into prop as well, while the in-form Haumole Olakau’atu drops to the reserves.<\/p>\n

Queensland have a more settled side, but aren’t without changes too, including Reece Walsh coming onto the bench and Patrick Carrigan dropping out.<\/p>\n

Leg 1 – Queensland to Win<\/h3>\n

Post-Covid, five of the last six Game 2s have been won by the Game 1 loser.<\/p>\n

The case for Queensland is strong. On many metrics they should have won the opener, and almost certainly would have if not for a questionable red card in the second half.<\/p>\n

They’ve proven time and time again their ability to overcome the talent gap through smart tactics and grit. Despite being underdogs heading into this clash, history says they’ll level the series.<\/p>\n

Leg 2 – Over 40.5 Points Total<\/h3>\n

Game 1 exceeded this threshold, and neutral venues typically produce higher scoring Origin games, with the last five producing 44 or more points.<\/p>\n

Queensland have scored 18 or more points in five of their last seven matches, averaging 23.33 points across their last three.<\/p>\n

Should the game hang in the balance in the final quarter, expect both sides to chance their arm, leading to points one way or another.<\/p>\n

Leg 3 – Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow to Score<\/h3>\n

Tabuai-Fidow came through in our Game 1 multi<\/a>, and should do the same again here.<\/p>\n

The Queensland fullback now has 12 tries in 11 Origin matches.<\/p>\n

Playing at centre provides him with even more ball, which will mean increased chances in a game that will see plenty of points.<\/p>\n

Same Game Multi<\/h2>\n

Queensland to Win \/ Over 40.5 \/ Tabuai-Fidow to Score = $9.50 <\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Value Bet<\/h2>\n

Walker had a blinder in Game 1 and would have been on track for Man of the Match had the Maroons been victorious.<\/p>\n

While he didn’t get on the scoreboard, he crosses over a lot for a halfback, scoring five times already in this year’s NRL, taking his career tally to 30 from 98 games.<\/p>\n

In a must-win game like this, Queensland will likely implement more aggressive tactics, which could well involve Walker running it more from halfback.<\/p>\n
