As much as it cruels me to say I am going to put my money on NSW in the first origin game. I just think its all against Queensland here and I just cant pass up the $2.20 being offered about the Blues. I have had $16 dollars at the $2.20 for a return of $35.20.

My concerns for Qld are that they have a horrendous record at ANZ stadium, Hunt isn’t a five-eighth and he is suspect in this role, it is going to be slippery which non of the Qld teams have trained much in this year and I think the Blues bench is just much better than Qld’s. In a game like Origin the bench can make a huge difference.

The talk is Qld will steam roll them but I personally don’t know if this will happen. My money is on NSW for financial reasons but my heart will always lie with Qld.

Where is your money going on this game?
