The tension is building as we gear up for a colossal Origin showdown at Suncorp Stadium.
Rumors are swirling about a showdown between Billy Slater and Selwyn Cobbo during Queensland's training session, adding fuel to the fire ahead of State of Origin 3.
Slater and the Maroons have reigned supreme in the last two Origin series, but their crushing defeat in Game 2 has put them on edge for the decider on Wednesday night.
Whispers from NSW legends suggest that Slater is under more pressure than ever before, and now, reports have emerged of a clash between him and Cobbo at training.
According to renowned NRL journalist Danny Weidler, the two players butted heads over their differing training philosophies, with Cobbo known for marching to the beat of his own drum while Slater demands utmost discipline and a relentless work ethic.
Weidler hinted at tensions between the two, suggesting that Cobbo's return to the Queensland lineup for Origin 3 may have stirred the pot even further.
As the stakes continue to rise, all eyes will be on Slater and Cobbo to see if they can iron out their differences before the crucial match.
Will this clash of personalities impact the outcome of the game, or will the Maroons rally together to secure victory in the face of adversity? Only time will tell as the Origin drama unfolds.
