Wednesday saw Queensland level things up at 1-1 in this year’s State of Origin Series as they beat New South Wales 44-24 in game two.

Come Thursday, it’s time for the Maroons and Blues’ youngsters to go head-to-head, both men and women. These clashes are standalone winner-takes-all. NSW have won four of the five instalments of the women’s under-19s Origin clashes to date alongside three of the four editions of the men’s under-19s.

At 8pm, Super League’s schedule then begins with a mammoth clash of the top two as Leeds make the trip to Warrington. The winner of this game will end the weekend top of the pile.

A seven-course feast then takes a break before returning with Super League action at 3pm, and from there on in, it’s another triple-header. All three of the matches from the competition come behind Sky’s Red Button, but all follow on from one another, so you really could spend all day watching the greatest game of all.

The sole Super League game on Sunday wraps the weekend up and it comes on Merseyside as out-of-form Saints host basement boys Huddersfield, a must-win match for Paul Rowley’s side.
