State of Origin special: QLD stars Ponga, Taulagi, Carrigan & Fifita give us an exclusive look inside the Queensland camp | Game prep, tactics and plans to stop Nathan Cleary

from Two Good Sports · host iHeart Australia, Abbey Gelmi and Georgie Tunny

T'was the night before Origin. It's the most special time in our lives: it's Game 3 of Origin and it's winner takes all. Origin nights at Suncorp are always crazy but this one's going to be extra special. Queensland's most feral fan Georgie Tunny went up to the Sunshine Coast to get the lowdown from the players on how the Maroons are preparing to face a Blues side who will be fired up after a bruising loss in Game 2. Kalyn Ponga, Murray Taulagi, JoJo Fifita and Patty Carrigan talk to us about what makes Origin so special, how the celebrations really are after the game and how they plan to stop Nathan Cleary. Plus, what's Billy Slater really like as a coach? Why are Queenslanders so much more feral than NSW fans? And how do you learn to switch off as a player at the elite level when the game is done?   Harvey Norman love sport.
