Playing at home hasn’t been an advantage so far this State of Origin series but TAB has shortened Queensland’s odds considerably for Game Three with the match moved from Newcastle to the Gold Coast.
The Maroons were out to a record equalling $5 but are now $3.70 in the Head-to-Head market with New South Wales drifting from $1.17 to $1.28 for the first State of Origin to be played on the glitter strip.
Queensland had been as long as $6.50 after fulltime in Game Two.
