ALLIES vs VICTORIA METRO |
SERIES XVII STANDINGS |
We're heading into the last round of State of Origin Series XVII with the championship delicately poised. The Allies, who have already clinched the wooden spoon after 3 straight losses, will host Victoria Metro at the Sydney Showgrounds and look to at least have a say in the final make-up of the table.
There's everything for play for for the Melbournites who enjoy a percentage gap over their country rivals and a game in hand over current ladder leaders South Australia. Barring a draw in the other game, a finals berth is all but guaranteed but Metro know a comfortable win will all but secure a berth in the Grand Final. The Allies are already assured of their final position at the bottom of the ladder, but there's still plenty of pride to play for, especially at skipper PMBangers' home base in GIANTS Stadium.
