So who do we all think will win. It; would set the Series up if the Blues can get the first win but it's difficult to look past Queensland- as ever.

For those who don't know the game is on Premier Sport son TV and also legally online- [url=http://sportsstream.co.uk/state-origin-game-1-2016-live-streaming/details here[/url

Looking forward to it, would like a NSW win and think the pack has a chance, but the QLD halves are too strong.

Would you know how I could watch the game on a delay or say as a replay after it is over? Gonna be finishing my shift about an hour after it starts which is annoying...

The best thing to watch about Origin is the Official television viewing figures.

The said kick-off time of 8pm / 11am GMT will actually be closer to 8.30pm AEDT / 11.30am GMT

Glad to see plenty going for NSW, the Aus media and pundits seem to be all over Queensland.

NSW have got a superior pack

I'll say what I've said before about Origin: if every game of rugby league was like that, I'd soon lose interest in the sport. Typical dull arm-wrestle.

I was annoyed to be working and couldn't watch but when I looked at the result I thought that is a couple of hours of my life that ive enjoyed more being a caretaker hahaha

Your lucky, I started watching on premier player tonight, thought it might get better in the second half I was wrong. If that is the style of play the Ausies aspire to then how are we suposed to spread this game to new fans or even keep them? it was boring not even a punch up to get us going.

It was very dull because the defence of each side was too good.

It's just Origin, though. I watched the Cowboys/Broncos the other night, and although just as intensive a game, it was a quality contest and a much better watch.
