With the teams for State of Origin for Game 3 announced yesterday there’s, as always, plenty to talk about in both camps.
Following a comprehensive 38-6 Game 2 victory in Perth, Brad Fittler has named an unchanged lineup for the series decider next Wednesday night.
But that raises questions in itself.
Will Nathan Cleary really be fit enough to play after suffering an ankle injury in Perth? Is Clint GuthersonIs David Klemmer really going to stay left out? Is Fittler playing mind games naming Tariq Sims despite likely suspension?
We got Roar NRL expert AJ Mithen on the line to look over the Blues’ lineup for Game 3 and work out whether they got it right.
Listen to the discussion:
After a disappointing 18-14 Game 1 loss in Brisbane, Fittler shocked everyone after making a whopping seven changes to his side for Game 2 – including the omission of superstar Roosters centre Latrell Mitchell.
Thought to have lost the plot, the Blues entered the pivotal match in WA as slight outsiders, but stunned everyone with their second-biggest ever win over the Maroons.
A win in Game 3 will give the Blues consecutive series victories for the first time since 2005.
