He does not particularly care if he lifts the 2016 State of Origin shield to an empty stadium but Queensland captain Cameron Smith believes Blues players deserve a full house to watch them do battle tonight.
More than 80,000 fans turned out to ANZ Stadium to see Queensland win a tense battle 6‑4 in Game One but estimates on Monday afternoon were for a crowd between 50,000 and 60,000 to what is essentially a dead rubber.
Blues captain Paul Gallen will be playing his 24th and final game for his state and Smith says they deserve near enough to a full house.
The Blues will host the Maroons at 10 tonight.
