It’s the annual preview for State of Origin Game 1, where we analyse both teams, the key matchups and give our predictions. We discuss the breaking news of Dylan Edwards' injury and James Tedesco's timely return. We compare the back 5 of NSW and QLD—debating whether the game will be won in the backs or the forwards. We also make our picks for the Man of the Match, first try scorer as well as the overall series outcomes, including the Wally Lewis Medal winner.

To wrap up, we revisit the greatest origin tries of all time, sponsored by Nonna Tina's. Don't forget to enter our Meat Pie of the Week competition to win a week’s worth of meat pies from Nonna Tina!
