Mary Konstantopoulos: Maroons
“Look, I love a miracle and a fairytale, but something pretty special is going to have to happen for the Blues to beat the Maroons at Suncorp. I am willing to change this tip if someone could explain to me where the Blues are going to score their points.”
Lachlan Bickley: Maroons
“Queensland at Suncorp is a mandatory tip for now and forever. Or at least until Smith and Thurston are long gone.”
Tim Gore: Maroons
“The Maroons to wrap up another series win by smacking the same old Blues at Suncorp Stadium.”
Curtis Woodward: Blues
“I’m going for it. The Blues to win in one of the great boil overs. Haters gunna hate, hate, hate, hate but I’m gunna shake it off, shake it off.”
Joe Frost: Blues
“A bigger, more aggressive forward pack, serious pace out wide and possibly the most fearsome bench ever assembled. The Blues have got one potential weakness, and that’s the halves.
“That said, James Maloney played Game 1 as if he had more experience than Mitch Pearce, and with the nerves shook out, Adam Reynolds is ready to show he deserves to be here.
“There won’t be much in it, but the Blues will take this to a decider.”
Patrick Effeney: Queensland
“If Queensland could scrape away in a close one in Game 1 in the Blues’ home at ANZ Stadium, they’ll get up in a big way in Queensland.
“Sorry Blues fans, but this one’s merely a matter of them being in better shape than they were in Game 1. I don’t believe Nate Myles to be a huge loss, and Lillyman will inject a bit of ferocity off the bench.
“This will be a much more entertaining game than the first, but I think Queensland are just too good for a Blues side that’s still not ready to take the baton.”
