TAB punters are confident Blues rookie Mitchell Moses has what it takes in the Origin arena, with the Parramatta halfback the third most popular pick for Player Of The Match in Game Three tonight.
While Latrell Mitchell ($10) is by far the best backed with 40 percent of the market, Moses has taken 13 percent of the money to be man of the match in his State of Origin debut at $13, just behind equal favourite Tom Trbojevic ($6) with 14 percent of the hold but ahead of James Tedesco ($6) with 11 percent.
New South Wales is being well supported for a series whitewash with almost 75 percent of the Margin betting on the Blues to win by 13+ for a third straight time.
They also hold almost 70 percent of the Head-to-Head market, although the value around the Maroons has seen some big money interest on game day with a $7,000 bet at $3.80, while at $10,000 bet on Queensland +11.5/Over 46.5 was made at $4.20.
