Queensland will draw on the spirit of their 1995 side that last won at the MCG as they target becoming hoodoo gurus in consecutive years.
The MCG has not been a happy hunting ground since Paul ''Fatty" Vautin's 1995 team, known as the "Neville Nobodies", won game two 20-12 before claiming a famous 3-0 clean sweep.
Five losses at the venue either side of that victory, most recently in 2024 when the Blues prevailed 38-18, have haunted the Maroons.
Queensland won for the first time in Perth, 26-24 in game two last year, to smash that hex.
Harry Grant said they were determined to follow suit and honour the 1995 side that boasted a suite of no-names and defended like demons to concede just 28 points for the series.
