Queensland has opened a $1.67 favourite with Centrebet to win Game 2 at ANZ Stadium and wrap up a record fourth straight State of Origin series!

But Centrebet media chief Neil Evans said NSW was “right in the hunt” opening a $2.20 outsider, and he expected the Blues to shorten over the next week!

“Finally, the Blues have a near-perfect blend of youth and experience, and this is one of the best back-rows NSW has had since the Phil Gould-coached days of the early 90’s,” he said. “Two super-confident hard-running second-rowers (O’Donnell and Creagh), with a real hard-head (Gallen) at the back of the scrum. If Brent Kite and fellow new prop Michael Weyman can square the ledger up front, NSW has a ‘live’ hope of equalling the series at 1-1!”

The early Game Line has been set at 2.5 points!

Queenslandd is still a raging $1.16 shot to claim the series, with the third SOO game back at Suncorp Stadium!
