SOO 3... 18 sleeps to go - Bring it on !!!

Well it officially a Sell Out to State of Origin 3 to be held in Melbourne Wednesday 5th July. In fact they have now decided that they will release another 3,000 standing room tickets so that more people will be able to enjoy it. We've had our tickets organised for a while now and so I will be going along with a group of my friends. We're only 3 rows from the front just behind the goal posts!

State of Origin 2 was played last Wednesday night and it was such a great game. Queensland beat NSW 30-6, in fact until just the 77th minute it was 30-0. Justin Hodges had yet another great game and Karmichael Hunt (Brisbane Broncos) & Adam Mogg (Canberra Raiders) made solid debuts. Darren Lockyer was the official man of the match. So now the series is level 1-1, whoever wins game number 3 wins the series.

Just a few hours ago Karmichael Hunt is ruled out of playing football for next two months due to a broken foot. This is such a big blow not only to the Brisbane Broncos but also to Queensland team. But its not as if we do not have any further fullbacks... Greg Inglis (so long as he's fit by then), Billy Slater, Rhys Wesser, Clinton Schinofske & Matt Bowen.
