The Origin series for 2022 kicks off in Sydney at Accor Stadium and we break down the best Man of the Match plays.
Best Bet
James Tedesco is already one of the greatest New South Wales players of all-time and that has been shown in the fact he has won man of the match honours in a game in three of the last four series and in four of the last seven New South Wales wins. He racks up big metres, he gets his hands on the ball a lot, he can score and set up tries and busts tackles for fun. With the Blues tipped to level the series, Tedesco is the clear candidate to win man of the match honours.

Mid-Tier Bet
The love for Isaah Yeo is large and his first game performance can be completely forgotten given he spent every minute concussed. The Blues should play on the front foot a lot more and Yeo plays a key role in the New South Wales attack. He is right in contention for the Dally M Medal. It would be no surprise to see him get man of the match honours and selectors have traditionally held a love affair for redemption stories.
Value Bet
Bench players don’t have a long history of winning man of the match honours but it has happened before and bench players rarely have the impact Grant does. The game turned when Grant hit the field in the opener and it turned again when he departed. He is close to the most important player on the paddock and has to be considered if Queensland were to win.
