QLD dominated the first game on the back of more possession field position, and they still only just managed to beat the Blues, and even at one stage they were losing to them. With an equal amount of ball, can see the Blues edging this one, especially as they have gone with a much more smaller and mobile set of forwards, and in the very wet and heavy conditions, this could see them cause plenty of problems in the second half. Also expect to see Pearce and Soward kick early and try to turn the bigger forwards around, while pinning QLD back in their own half. NSW look much better in attack for this game with Hayne, Gidley and Lewis all playing, and like them to even this series up
