Kick-off in Wednesday night’s match is scheduled for 7.40pm (AEST).
However, the chances of the game actually starting on time are as slim as the Warriors’ hopes of finding consistency.
Game 2, for example, begun 12 minutes later than advertised, so allow for a slightly delayed start time on Wednesday night.
The match is expected to conclude at 10:10pm, with an hour-long post-game dissection of the series to follow.
Wednesday night’s game will be particularly significant for the Maroons as they look to farewell accomplished fullback Billy Slater in style.
Slater captains an injury-hit Queensland side which includes the heavily-criticised Daly Cherry-Evans at halfback.
Meanwhile, Blues skipper Boyd Cordner looks set to shake off a calf injury in time for Wednesday’s battle. The only change to the series-winning seventeen is the debut of Tariq Sims off the bench in place of Matt Prior.
