Origin III: Queensland raring to go against NSW, says Hodges

In Rugby League, the Maroons are going through their final preparations this morning ahead of their final State of Origin clash with the Blues.

Coming off a heavy loss in Perth, Queensland are the underdogs to beat the Blues on their home turf and claim the series.

However, Maroons assistant coach Justin Hodges says morale in the squad has lifted since Origin II.

“For us, our boys are primed and ready to go, if you can’t get up for a decider you’re probably in the wrong game. Our boys are ready we’re confident. We’re here to do a job and we’re gonna do it,” he said.
