NSW Blues

Maroons break the Telstra Stadium Hoodoo, and keep the Trophy for 2007!

The Maroons found a way past the Wizard Blues and their Telstra Stadium advantage to wrap up back to back Harvey Norman Series with a stunning victory, 10 - 6. As a result the State of Origin shield will spend another 12 months in Queenslander's hands as NSW regroups for 2008.

All being well, in Rugby League's centenary year, Telstra Stadium will host two of the three matches and give NSW the upper hand to stop a Queensland 'three peat'.

History at Sydney Olympic Park

NSW have never lost an origin match at Telstra Stadium claiming eight wins and one draw, quite an amazing record. The Blues have well and truly been dominant whenever they play Queensland at Telstra Stadium, a record which the Blues will proudly try to maintain in the upcoming series.
