## Resource

The 2026 State of Origin series is over, and we're breaking down all the biggest moments from the decider. This week on the League of Inches Podcast , we dive into the controversial Bostock touch ruling, the referee decisions that have Queensland fans talking, and whether the criticism is justified after last year's State of Origin Game 2 officiating performance. We also discuss Nathan Cleary's incredible Origin performances and ask the big question: Is Cleary already on track to become an NRL Immortal? Plus, we react to Laurie Daley's emotional post-match interview, Isaah Yeo being labelled the best captain Laurie has ever coached, and what made the NSW Blues so dominant throughout the series. We then turn our attention to the NRL transfer market, with reports that Jarome Luai has been given permission to leave the Wests Tigers , and the Parramatta Eels emerging as the favourites to sign the premiership-winning playmaker. To wrap up the episode, we review our Round 18 and State of Origin betting results before giving our NRL Round 19 tips, best bets, upset picks and value bets to help you get ready for another huge weekend of rugby league.
