  • One of Rugby League’s Greats

    Incredible content from one of the Games great minds. Would love to hear some more explicit / x-rated content from footy trips away. What happens on tour shouldn’t always have to stay on tour. Still 5 stars !

State of Origin Game 3: Predictions, Team Changes & Keys to Victory | Josh Morris
Q: How important is the forward pack dominance in this game?
Crucial. If NSW win the middle, they can unleash their edge players and keep the tempo up; if Queensland dominates, NSW will struggle to generate opportunities.

Q: What do you think Loz should do in terms of team selection for Game 3?
We'll see whether he stays bold with Moses and Robson, or reverts to something safer. The key is backing his spine and getting pressure on the Maroons early, while maintaining a strong forward platform.
