The highly anticipated State of Origin Game 3 between the NSW Blues and Queensland Maroons will take place at Suncorp Stadium on Wednesday night, with Queensland entering the match on a wave of momentum.
Though the series is tied at one match each, Billy Slater's team has largely been in command throughout the encounters.
In Game 1, the Maroons held a commanding lead until Kalyn Ponga's dismissal, resulting in them losing a 14-point advantage.
Game 2 showcased Queensland's strength, as they could have won by an even greater margin than the recorded 20 points, were it not for a late consolation try from Mitch Barnett.
With such momentum, Slater has opted for minimal alterations to his lineup, allowing Queensland to head into the decider as clear favorites.
They aim to end a two-match home losing streak while striving for their fourth shield title in five years.
In contrast, the Blues, led by Laurie Daley-who may be coaching his final game-will be eager to turn around the narrative that unfolded so decisively in Melbourne.
However, the team faces challenges, including fresh combinations and uncertainties surrounding their ability to effectively score and defend.
While they do have a good recent record in Brisbane, their stuttering attack from the first two games presents a significant hurdle.
Adapting quickly may prove difficult for Daley and his squad in this crucial match.
