Only a handful of sleeps until Origin Two, in Perth (please don’t get me started on that
decision). The Blues have made wholesale changes while Billy is taking the steady approach
of don’t fix it if it’s not broken replacing only those who are unavailable due to injury.
I could be wrong, but Freddy looks like he is calling on some enforcers and there may be
some fireworks.
Game one was outstanding, and you always wonder how a game like that can be topped
and invariably they are – just not by a Blue’s win.
Of course, whatever the outcome the Southern Downs will be primed and ready to welcome
the maroons before Game Three at Suncorp.
Preparations already underway for the Queensland Maroons Regional Fan Day Street
Parade and Community BBQ Breakfast in Warwick on Wednesday, 6 July.
The Maroons will be holding clinics for 6-12 and 13-17 year olds at the Warwick Rugby
Union field between 10.30am and 11.30am (Registration from 8.30am)
Prior to the Coaching Clinics you can catch a glimpse of your favourite Maroon during the
street parade which kicks off in Palmerin Street at 8.30am followed by a community
breakfast.
The Maroons will have a training run at Fr Ranger Oval from 11.30-12.30 before heading
back to their Gold Coast training base.
But before all of that excitement there is game two to be won. I think we will see a higher
scoring game – maybe 29-24 to the Maroons.
Up the Mighty Maroons and Billy’s kids
