No waiting, no sweating the final siren.

Head-to-head, Blues versus Maroons, early payout if you're in front at halftime, only at Pointsbet.

Personalised max stakes and T&Cs apply.

Look, there's obviously a lot of pressure on the referee going in the game already.

And then it's coming out now that in game one, the six against were 5-1 to New South Wales.

And can you believe New South Wales were almost perfect?

Who won the penalty count though?

Queensland won the penalty count.

But look, Ray, just leave that aside for the moment.

It was 5-1 to New South Wales in six against, and it was 6-4 to Queensland.

They won the penalties.

So, look, okay, what's that total?

7-9.

New South Wales finished slightly ahead in that area.

But once again, that's just a tactic designed to apply pressure.

That comes directly from within the team.

I wouldn't necessarily say it was Billy leaking that, but certainly someone around the quiz.

There's going to be a lot of pressure, and given the circumstances...

Now, you see how the game unfolds when you take this on board.

Given the circumstances, the less decisions Klein actually makes, the less criticism there's going to be.
