The Maroons are facing record territory again with TAB for State of Origin Three despite injecting some attacking strike to their team and injuries to key New South Wales players.
Queensland are again $5 Head-to-Head, which equals the record long odds from Game Two at Suncorp Stadium, but that is only after they shortened from $6.50 following the withdrawal of Blues Halves Nathan Cleary and Jarome Luai and the return of Kalyn Ponga to the Maroons number one jersey.
In contrast, NSW has only drifted from $1.11 to $1.16 with the changes which is still a record short price, bettering last game’s $1.22.
After winning the battle to be Blues Halfback, Mitchell Moses has been priced at $2.75 to score a try on debut as Cleary’s replacement, which is shorter than Queensland’s rookie speed machine Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow at $3.
