Jun 30, 2026 · 107 min · Ep 201

The boys analyse the NSW Blues and QLD Maroons Game 3 lineups for the 2026 State of Origin Series and all the changes made from Game 2… Six change for the Blues with Bostock, Best, Critta, Liam Martin, Haumole and Brailey in after Brian To’o was sensationally dropped along with Staggs, Lucas and Api. For the QLD Maroons minimal changes as Pat Carrigan and Jeremiah Nanai return from injury in place of Collins and Finefeuiaki, with Corey Horsburgh potentially in the fold for the first time since 2023. The panel give their bold predictions for the Decider before covering the NRL for Rounds 16 and 17!
