They may have won six successive State of Origin series, but NSW assistant coach Trent Barrett claims Queensland will be feeling as much pressure as the Blues on Wednesday.
NSW have only ever prevailed in a decider played in Brisbane on two occasions, but Barrett believes the build-up to the
Suncorp Stadium encounter is as good as any he has been involved in.
The injury to back-rower Glenn Stewart has been the only issue to affect the Blues, with Queensland's usually flawless preparations being disrupted by the loss of Billy Slater to injury and the axing of David Taylor amidst reports the giant back-rower is dealing with personal issues.
Barrett insists Ricky Stuart's players are under no illusions as to the size of the task facing them at Suncorp Stadium, but said there is a relaxed feeling around the group.
"You are always worried about players in their team,'' Barrett said in Brisbane on Monday.
