Doesn’t matter how they play to the media. If they are named in an Origin team, they they are an ‘Origin Star...’

I'd play with 10 broken fingers for $30,000

I actually reckon we're a big chance tonight.
I wasn't confident a few days ago, but all of this noise about NSW being the clear favourites has me quietly confident. They have a lot of X-Factor style players, almost too many, several of them won't have any impact, and guess what, most of them can't defend and are ill-disciplined.

Tape some Paddle pop sticks to the fingers, she'll be right

I'm going QLD by a Milf field goal.

We are right where we love to be. Underdogs. NSW somehow favourites even with 11 debutants. Qld by 12 and a series cleansweep.

Regardless of anything, the odds are way off. We're out to $3 last I checked....this isn't club football ffs. Not so worried about their backs, it's the halves and forwards that concern me most. Either they slaughter us, or we win in a tight one.

It's classic NSW, "WE ARE SOO GOOD, DEPTH AND FORM, WE ARE THE GREATEST" meanwhile Qld just sitting back saying "well, they've already got this game won have they....we'll see about that"
NSW carry on like this every single year. Even when we had Lockyer, Smith, Thurston, Price, Civa, etc etc etc they'd carry on "THIS IS OUR YEAAAARRR'
The sad thing is one day they'll be right. Hopefully not this year, it's gonna be mega glorious if we beat them with Inglis as captain, and this team of "nobody's"

In reality, 24-12 NSW. Wishful thinking 22-20 QLD

Cleary will shit the bed big time tonight. I hope the forwards have been instructed to smash Maloney, because if he is quiet QLD will win.

I think it will be close but NSW will edge it. We just don't have the strike power they do. And our spine doesn't exactly intimidate.

Our only hope is their inexperience gets the better of them.
But I doubt it will. NSW have it won this year.

Bhunt is more likely to shit the bed than Cleary.

Maybe. If he sticks to running, he'll be alright. But if he tries to 'game manage' we'll be fucked. Munster will really have to step up, that's why Joey and co have been heaping the pressure on him all week.
If Maloney plays well and has time and space, Cleary will play well. If Maloney gets shut down, Cleary will be quiet imo.
