Footy legend sends brutal five-word instruction to Queensland star ahead of State of Origin showdown with NSW Blues rival Payne Haas

Pat Carrigan has been told to 'whack' NSW rival Payne Haas ahead of the footy giants' huge clash in the State of Origin decider at Suncorp Stadium.

Maroons legend Corey Parker made the remark after Carrigan promised to step up to the plate and inspire his state to a third-consecutive Origin title on Wednesday night.

Billy Slater's side head into the contest licking their wounds after being trounced by the Blues in Game II at the MCG, with legendary NSW hardman Mark Carroll insisting Queensland's forwards 'wouldn't scare kids in a creche'.

And Parker says Haas - who had his best Origin performance in Melbourne - needs to be bullied into submission by Broncos teammate Carrigan.

'It's time for Carrigan to take on Payne Haas. Rip his f***ing head off. Seriously,' Parker said via News Corp.

'In Origin, the friendship gets put aside for 80 minutes.

'I remember playing against my best mate Michael Ennis in Origin.

'With my first run, he hit me with a swinging arm across the nose and the next run I did, I said, 'Cop this' and hit him with my forearm.

'Pat should make a statement.

'Fly out of the line and level Payne. Whack him. They are best mates. but that's what Origin is about, mate versus mate.

'Payne Haas is their big dog, so Pat should take it upon himself to go after Payne Haas.

'Forget all the jargon about completion rates and defensive systems.

'Someone needs to send a message in this Queensland team.

'From the first minute, Pat Carrigan should go out there and whack Payne and send a statement to NSW that yes, we're here to play.'

Carrigan admitted that he needs to hit new heights in order to secure his side victory in Brisbane. 

'I know I have to go to a new standard, I know I am capable of it and we are just going to have to find out on Wednesday night,' Carrigan said.

'We have one more game to go and I'm keen to get it on.

'You do whatever you have to do in that arena to get the job done for your teammates.

'We got beaten in the middle in Game Two, that's no lie. The way I play the game is similar to a lot of the NSW guys - tough, fast and I love the pace and challenge that Origin brings.

'As a forward pack, we'll back our ability. With all the build-up, people can talk as much as they want, but it all comes down to actions on Wednesday night.

'I can't wait to run out with Lindsay (Collins), 'Rubes' (Reuben Cotter) and Mo Fotuaika.

'I know we are eager to work hard for each other and make amends for what happened.'
