NRL: Odds For Origin Game 3
July 8th, 2014 by TJ DilferThere’s no such thing as a State of Origin Game that means nothing. You can be sure that when they kick off on Wednesday night, the contest will be just as intense as you’d expect, with Blues and Maroons players putting everything on the line for the jersey. You can call it a dead rubber all you like, but it won’t feel that way when these guys go at it. Plus, the State of Origin odds make interesting reading ahead of Game 3…
There’s some great mind games going on in the build up to this one, with NSW looking to secure a whitewash with a win in Game Three. What do the Queensland bosses think is the best way to motivate the Blues to come out strong and wrap up the series? Put on a half-time spectacular to celebrate the years of Maroons dominance, that’s how! We’re really not sure what sort of thinking is going on at Queensland HQ, but this is really offering up some serious column inches in the run-up to Game 3. The Blues camp (understandably enough) feels like it’s not the most respectful gesture that their hosts could make, and that any celebrations going on at half time should focus on their series win instead on the achievements (impressive though they might be) of the Maroons side they have just beaten to claim the State of Origin. We suspect that your view of it all will depend on which side you’re rooting for – we’re also pretty sure the Blues we be using all of it as fuel for one more massive effort.
Queensland go into the game as favourites at odds of $1.57, but make sure you’ve got all of the State of Origin odds you need to get you ready for the game, and make sure you’re looked at all those tempting markets as well as the futures on offer at Sportsbet right now!
