Graham Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Tipsters from CM all have tipped QLD: Quote TIPS Peter Badel (Chief league writer): Queensland by 6 WHY: Daly Cherry-Evans will bring more composure and direction to the halves to ensure Billy Slater gets the winning farewell he deserves. Robert Craddock (Chief sportswriter): Queensland by 8 A dead rubber it may be, but up to 10 Queenslanders will have their futures decided by this game. They will be desperate men. Rikki Lee Arnold (NRL writer): Queensland by 2 WHY: Surely a great like Billy Slater cannot go out on a defeat. Queensland have to win for him. Travis Meyn (NRL writer): Queensland by 4 WHY: The Maroons will avoid an embarrassing clean sweep because the Baby Blues have been celebrating a drought-breaking series win and will drop their guard. Paul Malone (Senior sports writer): Queensland by 4 WHY: The home-ground factor will help Queensland withstand the loss of key players through injury, as will the difficulty teams leading Origin series’ 2-0 always face in maintaining motivation. Mike Colman (Senior sports writer): Queensland by 8 WHY: Despite all the hype about the Gen Next Blues, the Maroons weren’t far off last match. In front of their home crowd and desperate to avoid a clean sweep, they’ll be too strong. Luke Turgeon (The Courier-Mail sports editor): Queensland by 4 WHY: Maroons are playing not only for pride but for their Origin futures and throw in the home ground advantage should be able to get it done. Michael Westlake (The Courier-Mail Head of Sport): Queensland by 14 WHY: Game Two showed Queensland have the game plan to rattle the Blues. With the pressure off and calmer heads, they will get the job done. In our tipping comp on this forum, for this game, it is 4-1 in favour of NSW. What do you reckon?
