New South Wales Blues vs Queensland Maroons Game 2 Winner
We couldn’t have been more impressed with the Maroons in Game 1, despite the Blues being down a player for most of the contest.
The Maroons justified their favouritism with an impressive victory, and we don’t see this team slowing down in Game 2.
Playing in Melbourne helps the Maroons more than it does the Blues, but there has been steady money come for the Blues.
They opened at $1.99 and have been backed into $1.93, but we don’t see why. They bring in Mitchell Moses and Latrell Mitchell, but we don’t see those players being added to the team as a positive.
They’re both coming back from injury, and the Maroons have them covered for class in most positions in the back line.
Reece Walsh returns to fullback after missing the last two weeks due to concussion suffered in Game 1. He’s a dynamic player, who should have a field day for Queensland.
There is too much class in Queensland’s backline to turn down the $1.91. It’s a fantastic price, and we thought bookmakers would have the Maroons around $1.60.
We don’t quite understand the betting support for New South Wales, and although they battled well in Game 1, they were outplayed across the park.
Take the $1.91 for the better team on paper and on the field, and although people want Game 3 to have something on the line, we can’t see it happening.
Betting tip: Queensland Maroons @ $1.91

State of Origin Game 2 Exotic Tips
There is plenty of value with State of Origin Game 2 exotic markets, including first try scorer.
We’re picking Reece Walsh to have a massive return, and although he didn’t play long minutes in the opening game, he looked dynamic.
The Queensland fullback is a $12.00 chance to score the first try of the game, and we’re snapping up those odds.
We’re also backing Walsh to score a try at any time. He’s a $2.70 chance to cross the line, and those odds are generous from bookmakers.
Punters also get value odds for Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, who is a try scoring machine for both Queensland and the Dolphins at NRL level.
We thought he would be around $1.80 to score a try, so getting $2.40 for him to score is much better than we expected.
There is also a betting market for Player of the Match, and we’re backing Daly Cherry-Evans to win again.
The Maroons captain had a massive Game 1 performance, leading the Maroons around the field with distinction, and he’s often the difference between them winning and losing.
He can do it all, and the $9.00 odds for Player of the Match is too good to pass up.
Betting tip: Reece Walsh first tryscorer @ $12.00
