Looking forward to this. My boss let me have a couple of hours off to watch it. Oh the joys of being self-employed. ;-)

Queensland will win!

Head says cronk and smith to guide Queensland to victory.

Heart says Blues by 4 with a gallen try late on

Slater not playing for queensland could be a factor although hes replaced by Greg Ingles at full back

Suprised Ben Barba hasn't been called up he's been on fire in recent weeks. His effort to set up Josh Morris for his try against Melbourne was astonishing.

I think Queensland will win it by 4 but I really want NSW to win.

Queensland always seem to do it when it matters (unfortunately) .A NSW lapse in concentration will settle the series.

inglis is too slow for full back in my opinion, might be a key change nsw defo got a decent chance but they've probably forgotten how to win!

Inglis is too slow? Never thought I would see the day Inglis referred to as slow.

I hope NSW win this, I really do. Should be a cracker.

Once again a Maroons win just so it upsets the pillocks in the Sydney press. The Dummies were saying thank you to Mal for dropping Dave Taylor who went on to have a storming game against Panthers yesterday, the reason he turned up and had a that game was because he was dropped if he hadn't been I think the Maroons would not have had that sort of performance from him, There is more than enough class in the Maroons squad not to miss Slater or Taylor, I expect them to properly front up this match and take it to the Blues for the first time this series

What time's kick-off? 11? I need to get my day organised.

Have you seen him playing Full Back for Souths this year? He's been devastating coming in to the attacking line when he wants to, he might not be as fast as Slater but when you can run over the top of the opposition instead of around them then this "weakness" doesnt seem quite as bad!

[Fatbob]

Does anybody know of any events planned anywhere? Didn't there used to be an origin breakfast at the George Hotel?

Bolt? He couldn't even win his domestic championship races on the weekend.

aye but speed and power going forward is one thing, his slowness in defence will be exposed in SoO

I was on holiday and missed the second SOO game, but that NSW won it did surprise me at all. I thought that for the greater part of the first match they gave as good as they got and the try that was awarded to Inglis should never have been at all, not in a month of sundays.

So to see they got the result second time around was not at all surprising and I will buck the general trend and go fo a NSW win, now that they have broken the run of defeats I believe they can do it again, narrowest of margins whoever gets it but I do think that NSW can prevail this time.

[faz'_nose]

Go you Maroons.

Cronk, Thurston and Smith to run the show. I wish I could watch the match live.

[Futtocks]

And, as coverage starts on 2GB Sydney, I shall issue the usual annual announcement.

Do not adjust your soundcard or speakers. You are not experiencing distortion - Tommy Raudonikis sounds like that in real life.

[barrowraiderskid]

Inglis to full back and nielsen comes in at centre. Uate replaced by Brett Morris. Glenn Stewart fails fitness test so Tony Williams comes in.
