Watmough vows ‘something special coming’

HE'S been around for all eight of New South Wales' consecutive losing State of Origin series, and he keeps getting back up.

After conquering Queensland at their spiritual home of Suncorp Stadium in game one, Blues forward Anthony Watmough has made an emotional vow to NSW fans: "Something special is coming."

Tired of being on the losing end of the Origin war, Watmough says this NSW side is ready to create history.

Ready to be remembered as the team who finally put the Maroons back in their box.

The Blues are hellbent on snapping Queensland's stranglehold in front of 84,000 fans next Wednesday night in what could be an ANZ Stadium moment to match the famous deeds of 2005 when John Aloisi sent the Socceroos to the World Cup.

And Watmough, who made his NSW debut way back in 2005, isn't about to let another series slip away, especially after the heroics of State of Origin I in Brisbane.

"I know something special is coming," Watmough told The Daily Telegraph.

"You just get that feeling that we aren't going to miss out this time. That's the feeling I get.

"We have been so unlucky numerous times throughout the eight years. It has been a point here or there, a lucky kick, or Thurston flukes a bloody try from nowhere. Otherwise it is a totally different game and we win.

"We have to put that behind us and know we haven't been far off.

"They're not invincible. We've got a good team and we can match it with them.

"It's always interesting running out up there in (Brisbane) in front of 50-odd thousand so hopefully we can pack this house out blue and really send them home."

NSW trained in Coffs Harbour again on Wednesday in a sharp and trouble-free session.

And there leading the way again was Watmough, the Manly legend.

"Origin is enormous," Watmough said.

"To debut almost 10 years ago, to see where we are now and what we have built over the past five years, and to see how close we have been, it's special.

"I will play Origin for as long as I can. As long as I'm needed, I'll be playing. They have some good kids coming through so they might not need me too much longer.

"We have a tough pack but only so much toughness will win you a game — you've got to play smart.

"We've got a good mixture — some good, tough players and some players who will do a job for us."

NSW back-rower Ryan Hoffman can also feel something special.

"What I feel is a bunch of blokes wanting to do their role ... and do it well," Hoffman said.

"The feeling is that everyone is working hard individually because no-one wants to be the one that lets the team down."

Watmough said Queensland can expect a hostile and crazy reception on Wednesday night, much like NSW experiences at Suncorp Stadium.
