I tip QLD 1-12. My theory is that NSW is probably the better overall side at the moment. Game 2 is in Perth, Game 3 is in Sydney, the NRL need QLD to win this one to ignite the series a bit. You have Sutton as primary ref whose stats are notoriously home town (particularly at Suncorp). I think QLD win.

I'm a Blues man, however my biggest hope is Papa, Wighton and Cotric come through the game well and back up Friday. The result in this origin match really is secondary to that result.
We continue to **** about with blokes that are part of some fraternity. It's infuriating.

Hahaha Queensland is only going to win because of a bunch of conspiracy garbage involving the NRL and the refs?

Are you reading this, Fergus? This is how you look normally.

I have my theories on why we don't see many whitewash series, as do many others. You seem to think this is a comment about QLD specifically, it isn't.

Queenslanders didn't deserve the team they had over the last 10+ years, but they will deserve the spankings they receive in this 2019 series.

NSW by 20.

Oh man, this game just got all the more sweeter.

God I hope the NSW team thinks the same way as you do.

Yeah, I agree.

It's a bit "meh" on some levels. I'm pumped to see Jack and Nic play though.

Must just be the radio stations I’ve been tuning in to that are pumping it up.

How much game time are we tipping Jack to get? I hope he gets a decent run but fear he might just get 10-15mins in the back half. Hope I’m wrong!

I always marveled at the killer instinct of those champion QLD players. That potent mix of ability and belief was at the core of one of the best teams ever. NSW would always seem so close, yet the reality was they were never really in the same league.

Didn't the smug QLD fans know it too.

I would agree, though my social media is full of league content.

No doubt there is a sense that the teams have evened up again after so long (even if those thoughts are misplaced IMO).

Squeezing ratings dollars out of the night - most tune in at about 7:00 and will stay fixed to the chanel, no matter, what until the game starts.

NSW take the field to a chorus of jeers at Lang Park. NSW line up on the sideline... the Maroons are taking their time. Now the Queensland Maroons, led by Daly Cherry Evans for the first time, and it is a wave of noise and emotion to greet them.
