If you'd offered Queensland the chance to head to Suncorp Stadium for a deciding match before the Ampol State of Origin series opener in Adelaide they would have gladly taken it.
The tricky thing for the Maroons is they don't have long to turn a game-two drubbing in Sydney into a match-winning performance.
NSW were easily the better side at ANZ Stadium with their middle forwards dominating, Nathan Cleary kicking the Maroons off the park and their back three getting almost every set off to a great start.
The Blues will start at hot favourites despite the match being played in enemy territory as they chase a first three-peat since 2003-05.
