Storm legend Billy Slater will offer his commentary on the game from the venue, only on Channel 9, just days before he makes his final selections for the Queensland State of Origin team. Indigenous NRL legends Johnathan Thurston and Sam Thaiday also join the coverage to champion their proud heritage.
Nine’s Wide World of Sports will have exclusive access to the winning dressing rooms after the game.
