Sportswriters Brett McKay and Ryan O'Connell have been out of the Cheap Seats studio so long, they had to reset all their passwords. True story.

But it’s State of Origin time, and the boys have managed to get back in the game to tackle some curly Origin questions, plus a bit of Super Rugby and Champions Trophy cricket to boot:

1. Is this the most open Origin series we've seen in the last ten years?

2. Why will NSW win?

3. Why will Qld win?

4. Who will run down the Brumbies in the Australian Super Rugby conference?

5. If the ICC holds an international tournament and no-one sees, was a ball bowled at all?

If there’s a curly question you want the boys to tackle, get in touch via Twitter @CheapSeatsPod, and use the old favourite, #AskTheCheapSeats.

As always, you can hear the podcast on Soundcloud, iTunes, and the TuneIn radio app.

And stay cheap!
