Queensland and NSW can both enter three-match series with high hopes as the game builds on a tense but unsatisfying finish last year
New South Wales Sky Blues and Queensland Maroons will play a historic three-game Women's State of Origin series starting at Suncorp Stadium.New South Wales Sky Blues and Queensland Maroons will play a historic three-game Women's State of Origin series starting at Suncorp Stadium.
Being forced into doing frantic maths in the heat of an exciting finish to figure out who will take the series win is far from ideal. Neither are drawn series satisfying for anyone. The timing of the series also adds an air of unpredictability to the occasion, as rather than being mid-season when players are in peak conditions – as is the case with men’s Origin – the series takes place in thepre-season. To step out onto arguably the game’s biggest stage without match play in their legs is a significant hurdle that the players must conquer and often leads to erratic passages of play, especially in the first game of the series.
