State of Origin Man Of The Match Tips
State of Origin man of the match tips – read on below for our best and value bets for Game 3 at Accor Stadium.
Members of the spine (Fullback, Five-Eighth, Halfback & Hooker) are usually the leading candidates to be awarded Man of the Match in Origin, with players in those positions taking home the honour in nine of the last 12 games – and one of the outliers was Tom Trboejvic, who is usually a fullback but lines up at centre for the Blues in Origin. Halfbacks and Five-Eighths are usually the best bet – Nathan Cleary, Daly Cherry-Evans and Cameron Munster picked up the honour in the 2020 series that Queensland took 2-1, while Munster and Cleary each picked up Man of the Match during the 2022 series.
The most likely Man of the Match is a playmaker from the winning team, so considering we’re backing Queensland to make it a clean sweep, we’re backing Daly Cherry-Evans to pick up the honours. The Queensland No. 7 has been playing some career-best footy over the last couple of years, especially in the Origin arena. Cherry-Evans is the perfect support act to Cameron Munster and his kicking game has been instrumental in winning the territory battle with NSW. If the Maroons prevail, DCE will have a big influence.
