NRL Origin 1

It's that time of year again, and the excitement is reaching fever pitch.

A new coach for NSW, more new players than we can count, the biggest loss of Origin experience ever for QLD (not verified but sounds about right) and a 20 year old from Port Hedland, in Western Australia who may just get a berth at the last minute, means the form book is thrown out the window.

Who will win? Well frankly who knows, but the bookies are backing in Freddy and his Blue lot, and whilst we agree (see below), the odds look tasty on the Maroons so we reckon give them a crack.

We also have Valentine Holmes (8.50) as first try scorer, and Andrew McCullough (34.00) to do a "Cameron Smith" and bag a man of the match!

Looking forward to it!
