I like the look of SLATER to score at anytime $1.80 or INGLIS to score at anytime $1.80. I hate to say it but i also like the look of QLD 1-12 in this one.

Just watching SoO 2008 on Fox, fark these 'professional' pansies have lost the intensity those blokes used to play the series with.

Inglis was devasting during the start of the 2nd match and I thought that would be the reason they might have brought Cooper in, because neither Morris or Jennings will be able to put much on him - maybe they'll play Creagh wider in defence to manage him.  Billy is always dangerous but apart from the odd kick chase he doesn't seem to be figuring in their set plays as often anymore now that he is a targeted man.  Just my thoughts, but GL Chk Chk

They be looking like Kings after tonight. Besides, I'm the only one with any cred around here with SoO as I'm the only unbiased observer.

Yeah ME! 

My Origin II bets were as follows:

Qld (-2.5)

Qld (1-12)

Either team by less than 6.5

 

A Cam Smith try in garbage time cost me the sweep, boyo.

I'm as unbiased as they come.

 

Go Knights

Smart doesn't = unbiased, unless you're renouncing your Blues heritage

I've got NSW +6 tonight.

NSW still have plenty on the line. Even though they have already suffered the embarrassment of four consecutive series losses, they now face being the first NSW team in 14 years to be whitewashed 3-0. This is probably their best side named in the series, and if Kimmorley and/or Barrett can link up with Hayne, Jennings, Morris or Williams NSW, they begin to look pretty dangerous.

Bellamy has been critical of the 'soft defence' that led to NSW being 18-0 and 18-2 behind in the first two encounters. Surely there will be a focus on muscling up, and although the QLD backline is still extremely menacing, it is slightly less invincible with the loss of Folau. And in the forwards, there is no Civoniceva, Myles or Hannant. These are keys forwards and does perhaps negate Queensland's dominance there, particularly with the loss of Petero.

I look for Kimmorley to really step it up tonight, especially with his kicking. Queensland have just had it too easy in regards to field position with Wallace at 7. This is probably his last chance for redemption at this level, as I think they will probably revert back to a younger halfback in 2010. His Origin career has been chequered with poor performances, notably handing Queensland the game via an intercept in extra time a few years back, and if he wants to be genuinely remembered as a great halfback, being able to step it up and win a game for NSW will do him no harm.

It is unseasonably cold in the south-east Queensland area tonight, from what I have read, dropping below zero in Darling Downs this morning. It should probably get into the single digits, and hopefully this translates into a less open affair. I'll be having a shot on the under also.

NSW +6 - 1.90
NSW +5.5/U40.5 - 3.45

So OzBat has flip-flopped and now agrees with the selector's Blues team?

Not necessarily. I agree with some of the decisions, eg. Wallace gone, Kite gone. I disagree with some.

I think this is a better team than games 1 and 2, I think there is more points in this side than the previous sides.

I also think that in games 1 and 2, when NSW were storming home and Qld were camped in their own end, the QLD's looked to a bloke called Petero to get them out of trouble, who happens to be not playing tonight.

No shit - shitty Covers timing for game #3


I was about to chime in at the half saying it's the best meaningless rubber match ever

Kimmorley = cred.


Too bad fans never gave him the cred he deserves, especially for his defense.
