The 2025 State of Origin series heads west to Perth on Wednesday night as the NSW Blues and Queensland once again do battle in Game II.

After claiming the series opener, NSW have the chance to take an unassailable 2-0 series lead and claim back-to-back series wins for the first time since 2018-2019.

Queensland have lost three matches in a row dating back to Game II last year in Melbourne. Can they square the ledger and force a decider in Sydney?

Our SEN experts have given their predictions.
