Game 3 of the 2024 State of Origin series is here.
The New South Wales Blues will be out to break a horror run of losing deciders, and stop the Maroons from lifting the shield for the third time in a row.
It might be an uphill battle, but when we asked our team at Zero Tackle how they saw the decider playing out, the majority were backing the Blues to get the job done.
