The final State of Origin clash could be moved to a country town - with Sydney ruled out as it battles a Covid outbreak in lockdown. Stadium Australia at Olympic Park, in Sydney's west, was to host game three of the series on July 14 - but with most parts of the state in lockdown until at least July 9, that won't happen. Rugby League Players Association chief executive Clint Newton said it would be 'incredible' to see NSW and Queensland square off at country venues such as Tamworth, Dubbo, or Mudgee next month. 'Its never happened before and Covid has taught us that we can do things for the first time,' he told the Daily Telegraph.
