A tenth series victory in the last eleven years is at the mercy of Queensland when they welcome New South Wales to Suncorp Stadium tomorrow night.
Having already won Game I in Sydney by the scoreline of 6‑4, the Maroons will be out to not only wrap up the series on home soil but also give Corey Parker an early retirement present after it was announced that the Brisbane Broncos captain would hang up the boots at the end of this season.
That will give the Maroons the incentive to win, but they will be aware of a Blues side that will have their own incentive as they attempt to keep the series alive in enemy territory.
Not since 2000 have the Blues won a Game II in Brisbane, when they wrapped up the series that year en route to their most recent cleansweep, and not since 1998 have they won a Game II in Brisbane after dropping the opening game in Sydney.
The Maroons will host the Blues at 10.05pm tomorrow.
