A shell-shocked Queensland must find forward firepower and belief or face the embarrassment of losing the State of Origin series on home turf. NSW’s stunning 38-18 win at the MCG was built on mongrel in the middle that Blues prop Payne Haas and lock Cameron Murray had in spades but Maroons duo Reuben Cotter and Lindsay Collins lacked. The Maroons were stunned early in the match, but the forwards as a collective — so impressive in the past two series — were not up for the contest.

When Holmes made a misread in the first half and Mitchell put Brian To’o over it appeared to put the entire Maroons right edge defence out of whack. Queensland’s 38-10 win in game one against a 12-man NSW papered over cracks in their football. Slater will have some big decisions to make ahead of the decider. Recalling second-rower David Fifita is an obvious option to give the pack some much-needed oomph.
