The Queensland Maroons believe the NSW Blues will field their best attacking line‑up yet but are determined to blunt the threat of rookie Blues fullback James Tedesco.

Maroons assistant coach Anthony Seibold says halfback Cooper Cronk wants to exploit swirling winds and target Tedesco and winger Josh Mansour with his kicking game in tonights State of Origin III.

Seibold says Queensland wants to secure a rare whitewash to ensure NSW does not gain any momentum for next year.

The Maroons face the Blues at 10 tonight.
