Following team list announcements from both teams, TAB have listed the New South Wales Blues as the $1.75 favourites to win Game One of the series in Brisbane next week, with the hosts sitting as $2.10 outsiders.
Injury woes for the Blues ahead of their State of Origin team announcement last night saw the Maroons firm slightly from $2.15 to $2.10 post Brad Fittler’s press conference and support for Queensland has continued with TAB following Kevin Walter’s media call this morning.
“Maroon supporters thrive on being the underdog so seeing the Queensland team listed as outsiders for Game One in Brisbane is sure to be contributing to the air of confidence amongst fans in the Queensland capital this week”, TAB’s Gerard Daffy said.
“Not only is there confidence among fans that Kevin Walters’ young team can get the job done at home at Suncorp Stadium, but they’re confident of returning glory to the Sunshine state after 2-1 defeat last year with most bets on the series ‘correct score’ market sitting with Queensland at $13.”
