Episode Summary:

The focus of this episode is State of Origin Game III, with Ian and Steve questioning New South Wales' team selections, bench balance and game plan ahead of the series decider at Suncorp Stadium. They discuss why Queensland appears the more settled side, the impact of key inclusions and omissions, and whether the Blues have addressed the issues that saw them dominated through the middle in Game II. The conversation also explores the Dolphins' rapid rise and asks whether they are now Queensland's leading NRL club, while examining the increasingly congested race for the finals.

The boys then review a huge weekend of NRL action, including the Bulldogs' attacking breakthrough, the Roosters' gritty win over Brisbane, the Dolphins' thrilling victory over the Warriors, North Queensland's emotional performance in Jason Taumalolo's 300th game, Manly's dominant display against Melbourne, and the latest results shaping the top-eight race. They wrap up with updated power rankings and look ahead to another pivotal round of rugby league.
