Queensland Maroons vs New South Wales Blues Preview

The Blues have opened $1.65 favourites in State of Origin Game 1 betting and have attracted plenty of support, but owing to the patriotic nature of the series, the Maroons have also taken their fair share of bets at $2.20 (at publish).

First Try Scorer betting is always one of, if not the most popular target for Origin punters and there is excellent value to be found here at Neds again.

Prior to his performance and hat-trick against the Raiders last week, Tom Trbojevic’s selection appeared to be on the fence, but he looks to be back in some serious form, and he is a multiple first try scorer in the Origin arena previously.

His opposite number, Valentine Holmes, is easily the most experienced back at the Maroons disposal this year, and he looks to be the value for Queensland.

Man of The Match betting can also be a lucrative betting option, and the likes of Cameron Munster ($6.50) and James Tedesco ($6.50) have already attracted interest.
