With Queensland enforcer Josh Papalii in danger of missing Origin I, TAB has tightened the odds on the Blues both in the match and series.

Papalii faces a possible suspension for a high contact charge from the weekend’s action which has seen Queensland’s odds go from $2.25 out to $2.40 for Game I of the Origin series in Melbourne on June 9.

New South Wales are now $1.57 favourites having previously been $1.67 for the series opener. Despite Queensland’s heroics last year the Maroons are now $2.45 to retain the shield with the Blues at $1.53.

Following Magic Round, Penrith are into $2.75 to win the NRL premiership while this week’s opponent the Rabbitohs have drifted slightly from $5.50 to $6.00 and Manly have shortened again into $19.
