The 2025 State of Origin series descends on Accor Stadium in Sydney for Game III.

Queensland flipped the script in Perth and held off a fast finishing NSW side to square the ledger. Can they win their first decider in Sydney since 2013?

Or can NSW put a poor showing in Game II behind them and claim back-to-back series wins for the first time since 2018-2019.

Our SEN experts have given their predictions.
