My son (both of them actually) is going to their first origin game (in Sydney, through Kelso High and Blayney school), not sure i should go or not, particularly that we go for Qld. Could be a long ride home!
Origin in Sydney are always good fun, I've been to a few and although it's not the same atmosphere as the cauldron it's still origin!
I was going to go to Melb for game 1( never been to a origin in melb) but can't get down there this year unfortunately.
I bet your boys have a good night and I hope QLD win by 8.
