Channel Nine's coverage of Wednesday night's Origin decider is set to look a little different, with several changes to normal service.
In a first, Ray 'Rabs' Warren will call the game off the TV from a studio in Sydney, Phil Gould looks set to be reinstated to the commentary team, while viewers will have the choice to watch the game from a camera trained solely on the NSW halfback.
The broadcaster has confirmed those watching via 9Now will be able to select on option to focus on Nathan Cleary should they wish.

Meanwhile, it's also been confirmed Queensland's border restrictions have locked out Warren and Gould, forcing Nine into a change.
Rabs will call game III from the studio in Willoughby, something Gould says will come with its challenges.
"He's not keen to do it off the tube. When you know Ray as well as we do, these little things can sort of set him off a bit," Gould said on the Six Tackles With Gus podcast.
"He relies a hell of a lot on the atmosphere at the ground for the tone. The crowd tells him when to get excited.
"So he's never been keen to call a game off the screen in the studio for fear of the lack of atmosphere and not knowing when to get excited in the call.
"There is a huge advantage in being at the ground... you see more than the people at home are seeing on TV."
It will be the first time in 96 consecutive Origin games Warren hasn't been at the venue.
Gould himself was left out of the call team for game II in Sydney, with the broadcaster opting to give the call to Andrew Johns.
The rugby league heavyweight copped plenty of criticism following the NRL grand final due to a perceived bias towards Penrith.
Speaking on SEN, Matthew Johns said Gould wasn't the only one who lets his allegiances show while behind the microphone.
"I was really surprised last time when Nine took him off the coverage, I thought they'd throw their support behind him," Johns said.
"Now, Gus can be a little bit biased, but if you listen to the Queensland blokes in State of Origin, they openly cheer."
Before adding, tongue well and truly in cheek: "I know on grand final night he was a little bit towards the Panthers."
