State of Origin legend, Wally Lewis, previewed the deciding match between NSW and Queensland tonight with 6PR Breakfast.

NRL great, Jonathan Thurston said yesterday his Orgin playing games are over, after the 34-year-old multiple Dally M winner injured his shoulder, King Lewis says although Thurstan will play on with the Cowboys it’s a great loss to Queensland’s State of Origin campaign.

“Losing a player of his experience and his strike in a game like this is something that’s quite extraordinary for Queensland,” Lewis told Peter Vlahos and Jane Marwick.
