Any good betting promos going around for State of Origin game 1?

I had a quick look around and here are the ones I could find:

Sportsbet - Cash back up to $100 if you lose by 8 pts or less
Classicbet - $2.00 lines for both teams
Luxbet - First Try Scorer, if your bet loses and your team wins by 6 or more get a free bet as your stake up to $100
Ladbrokes - $2.50 odds for NSW (max bet $20)

Anyone seen any others worth sharing?

Can't believe the video they're showing to the NSW players this year:

All you have to do is bluelieve.

*sigh*

I'm just finding it so hard to get excited this year. After we finally won it last year, what's the storyline going in this year?

On top of that, much as I love the Blues, I hate so many of the people in the team.

Hoping GI's tonsillitis keeps him out and he's ok to play in a much bigger match Saturday vs the Titans

 

[NathanMX]

Seriously, what is up with NSW selection policy?

Pick a new 5/8th every year no matter how well they play

Soward
Carney
Maloney
Reynolds
Pearce

where does it end? Not sure there are many left but I am sure they will find someone new.

Yeah I agree, I think it is because both sides are weaker then last year as NSW have lost key players who have been mainstays for years (Hayne, Gallen, Bird etc.) while QLD are another year older not another year better. Also the ANZAC test showed that these two sides aren't actually the greatest rugby league teams in the world anymore.

Having said that I'm sure when the game starts I will be excited again. NSW to win at home by 10.

wtf is the Rock doing the intro? Would he even though what it is? Cool use of Interstellar soundtrack though

 

[Boxhead_31]

Oh Shannon Noll is still performing

 

[Boxhead_31]

I've seen karaoke performers better than this

 

[Goats]

My God, this is hilarious!!! What the hell is with taiko drummers?!

That was Meatloaf bad.

Reynolds has been injured and also been suspended for games. He would have been there for game 1 with Hodkinson if both of those things didn't occur.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Also, the Rock? I love the man but holy s**t, just no.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Kick off just before midnight?

 

[Boxhead_31]

Did anyone know that the Queenslanders held the title for 8 years?
Wish Rabbits would mention items like that

San Andreas won't flog itself.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Shouldn't the singers mic volume be louder than the music?
