State of Origin tonight. Everyone is asking will the Blues win this time? Well, no. The current Queensland team is on a different planet to NSW at the moment. The halves pairing of Cronk and Thurston, arguably the most important pairing in any football side, supercedes NSW's Pearce and Malone by a great margin.

That would usually be enough to seal the deal for most teams but add the fact that their hooker, Cam Smith, who will be steering the team around is possibly the best number nine of all time.

Want to hear more? They have a proven fullback who seems to lift to another level every time he slips into that Maroon jersey. NSW don't seem to have the knowledge or tactics to stop him. I am looking forward to see how his opposite, Jarryd Hayne performs this evening.
