NSW vs QLD Tips

NSW vs QLD tips for State of Origin Game 2 centre on whether Queensland can bounce back after a brutal late loss in Sydney. Game 1 showed both sides have points in them, but the Maroons looked the better team for long stretches before Kalyn Ponga’s send-off changed the contest.

Best Bet – Queensland To Win

Selection: Queensland Maroons
Odds: $2.07

Queensland were excellent for most of Game 1 and looked in control before the match swung late. Sam Walker, Cameron Munster and Harry Grant should be better for that run, and the Maroons have a strong recent record responding after an Origin loss. At plus-money odds, Queensland look the right side to force a Game 3 decider.

Same Game Multi

Selection: Queensland Win, Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow Anytime Try Scorer, Selwyn Cobbo Anytime Try Scorer, Over 42.5 Points
Odds: $10.25

Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow remains one of Queensland’s most dangerous attacking weapons and already crossed in Game 1. Selwyn Cobbo was outstanding in Sydney and looks close to finding the line at Origin level again. With Game 1 producing 42 points and both teams carrying serious strike power, the over can land if the game opens up late.

Best Value Bet – Sam Walker Player Of The Match

Selection: Sam Walker Player Of The Match
Odds: $10.00

Walker was excellent in Game 1 and would have been right in the Player of the Match discussion had Queensland held on. He is the Maroons’ main ball-player and will have a huge say in their kicking game, field position and attacking shape. If Queensland win, Walker is a strong value chance to claim the award.

Try Scorer Tip – Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow Anytime

Selection: Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow Anytime Try Scorer
Odds: $2.25

The Hammer is made for Origin footy and keeps putting himself in try-scoring positions. Even from centre, his timing, speed and power make him hard to handle close to the line. He looks the best anytime try scorer option for Queensland.

Total Points Tip – Over 42.5

Selection: Over 42.5 Points
Odds: $1.90

Both teams showed enough attacking threat in Game 1 to suggest another open contest is possible. NSW add Mitchell Moses and Payne Haas, while Queensland should again create chances through Walker, Munster and Grant. If the game stays close into the final 20 minutes, points can come quickly.

Best Bet

Queensland Maroons to win @ $2.05

Queensland were the better side for much of Game 1, and at underdog odds they look the value play to square the series in Melbourne.
