Final game of the State of Origin rugby league series between Queensland and New South Wales kicks off tonight. The game doesn't matter except for pride as NSW has wrapped things up 2-0 already.

Be my first game of league I've watched in a few years and I've always enjoyed the fiery encounters between the Cane Toads and the Cockroaches. History shows best how closely contested this annual series is, with nothing separating the teams. Going into tonight's game, here are the stats:

Games: NSW 33 QLD 33 drawn 2
Series: NSW 10 QLD 10 drawn 2

You can't get much closer than that.

GO THE MAROONS!!
