Queensland go into this series looking to make it 7 straight series wins. With a team that has cemented it's combinations over the years, the Blues have their work cut out. But it might not be the blow out that Queenslanders want. Last year NSW lost the series 1-2 but the biggest losing margin an any of the games was just 10 points. History shows that most of the games come down to less than 10 points between them when the final whistle blows. Go the Maroons.

The great hope for the Blues is new number 6 Tod Carney. They go in with a small mobile pack against the huge Qld pack.
Qld defence at play the ball horrible all night. Easy m to the blues. Meninga needs to tighten the wall.
