Most likely, yes.

Billy Slaterâs Queenslanders are gunning for a series whitewash, the first since 2010, in their quest for domination and a place in Origin history as only the fifth Maroons team in 42 years to win a series 3-0.
The New South Wales Blues have opted for a facelift by naming seven new players as coach Brad Fittler hunts a win to avoid embarrassment on home soil in Sydney.
Rabbitohs stars Cody Walker, Cameron Murray and Keaon Koloamatangi line up in the starting side skippered by James Tedesco, while Knights outside back Bradman Best makes his debut after stating his hatred for Queensland in the lead-up to the game.

Wide World of Sports â exclusive Origin coverage will be hosted by James Bracey and feature the biggest names in modern rugby league history, with Origin legends Andrew Johns, Cameron Smith, Johnathan Thurston, Phil Gould, Darren Lockyer, Paul Vautin and Paul Gallen on hand to dissect every moment of the action.

I thought there was no media aceess at Accor due to their contract
The Nine feed coming through a fox international telecast in downtown Tokyo. Not sure how it all works but can confirm itâs being streamed live in a Tokyo pub.
No, the strike is on players appearing on media.
Watching the State of Origin live on the alternate angles through 9Now means that I wonât have to put up with the ads, the Nine VO Guy and the Nineâs NRL commentary team.
During â100% Footyâ on Monday night, they mentioned that only the two captains will be speaking at the end of the match on the podium (in the post-match presentations).
But yes, no other player interactions by the looks of it.
I thought they were also banning cameras in the rooms, but that doesnât seem to have happened.
I heard about the banning the cameras in the rooms too. So im not sure whatâs the deal is there and the turnaround.
Ratings I guess
The RLPA statement mentions the boycott of âMedia opportunities in the dressing roomsâ, so I would assume that only refers to journalist access (things like Nine sending someone into the winning sheds after the game)
That makes more sense, must have been misinterpreted (or overexaggerated) by the article I read. (either Nine or Fox papers)
