Queensland were embarrassed in Melbourne when the Blues scored a record 34 first half points against the Maroons but back at home look primed to avenge that defeat and claim the series.
NSW made some awful selection decisions heading into the opener and it cost the Blues dearly. Even though some of the failings have not been addressed, they are an outstanding bet in Game 2.
NSW embark on a new era with Michael Maguire replacing Brad Fittler after six mostly disappointing years and he has not shied away from risk in his first team selection.
Once again Brad Fittler has shown arrogance and stupidity with his team selection and it looks set to lead to just the second series sweep since the year 2000.
The series and Brad Fittler's career is on the line in Game 2 when New South Wales travel to Suncorp to meet a Maroons team with one-hand on the Origin shield.
