Have your say: who takes out the series opener?

Chaos begins on Caxton street

Reporter Dan Walsh is making the pilgrimage down Caxton Street towards Suncorp Stadium, and the chaos is just getting started.

Watch: who will score first at Suncorp Stadium?

Will Critta be fit to play?

Team lists are officially updated an hour before kick-off, which means we won’t really know if Stephen Crichton is fit to play until 7:05pm (perhaps earlier if the guys on the ground can get the inside scoop).

Here’s what NSW coach Laurie Daley said at the team’s captains run yesterday.

Have your say: who takes out the series opener?

Welcome

Welcome all, it’s Origin time.

It feels like only yesterday we were watching NSW lift the trophy at Suncorp Stadium after Michael Maguire led the Blues to a sensational series comeback. What a game. What a series.

So, here we are again, back at the Cauldron, but this time for the 2025 series opener.

Billie Eder and Tom Decent here to take you through tonight’s action, along with Michael Chammas, Christian Nicolussi and Dan Walsh who are all on the ground in Brisbane to bring us breaking news, updates from the game and get the first word from players and coaches after the match.

Kick-off is at 8:05pm, we have plenty to bring you till then.
