Strange to be feeling this confident going into a game in Sydney. The only things keeping NSW in this are the home ground advantage and any possible complacency from the Maroons. Can't see the latter happening, so QLD should win in a close one.

Is 0805 really the kick off time?
More likely how many times the block is mentioned pre game, all live and free on nine.

7:30 - welcome to the coverage
7:35 - Queensland team run down, with thoughts from Smith, Vautin & Thurston who have a origin calibre struggle with the English language
7:40 - puff piece about a qld played (prediction: the Hammer)
7:45 - NSW team run down, with thoughts from Joey, Freddy & Gal who lose to the English language via a first round knockout
7:50 - puff piece about a nsw player (prediction: Hynes)
7:55 - bit of pregame entertainment
7:56 - cross promotion for some terrible show on 9 that absolutely nobody will think is any good
8:00 - Matt Nable promo
8:05 - players run out/national anthem
8:10 - Gus speech where he uses origin and Queensland as verbs
8:15 - kick off (pushed back 10 minutes)

there will also be about 6 ad breaks slotted in there

You forgot the most important thing....showing Wally's origin try. That usually gets a run within the first 30 seconds of the coverage commencing.

also forgetting a highlights package of every Origin punch up with a voice over of toughness and standing your ground etc.

Dean Ritchie's article about bringing back the biff in origin just reinforces journo's like the touchies are stealing a wage on our great game

I would really wish media and players would just give it a rest. Before game 1 last year Hynes was bringing up the cattledog and Grant was talking about being in scraps. If you did the cattledog now the whole team would get sent off. Hopefully it’s a great game with hard tackles and intensity but those fights from the 80’s and 90’s are well and truly history
