Michael Maguire made five changes to his squad after the Blues fell in Game One.
And Maroons legend Tallis believes this is a stronger NSW squad and earmarked a South Sydney Rabbitohs pairing as a key factor.
“I think there’s a bit more football in their team,” said Tallis.
“What I mean by that is that Cameron Murray can play huge minutes.
“He’s got a good little pass in him, he’s got a great offload, he’s got the quickest play the ball in the game.
“Then you got someone like Latrell Mitchell.
“I just go back to the game in Townsville [2021].
“He and Tom Trbojevic just tore us apart, they put 50 on us.
“Latrell’s in red hot form at the moment.”
