It was July 12 2017, NSW had travelled up to Brisbane for State of Origin game three with the series locked at one game apiece.

The Blues were full of confidence having won game one in dominant fashion before losing a game two they controlled for large portions. Queensland star Jonathan Thurston was absent with a shoulder injury.

And then everything went pear shaped.

Queensland blew NSW away in the first half an hour and NSW were never in the contest.

The match was ultimately remembered for being Laurie Daley's last in charge and Blake Ferguson and Josh Dugan's infamous trip to the Lennox Point Hotel just five days before the game.

While Frizell readily admits things did not go to plan on that occasion, he's confident that with so much changing within the NSW setup, the Blues will be able to produce a different result in next week's Origin decider.

"Obviously that match wasn't ideal the way it panned out," Frizell said.

"But it was as up there and every game's different. You always go into games confident after a week of preparing as well as possible.

"At the end of the day, it's how you turn up and how you perform for one another, they just did it that bit extra than we did on that day."

Frizell noted the biggest difference between Origin III 2017 and Origin III 2019 is the venue, with the Blues to enjoy the benefits of a home-ground advantage next Wednesday night.

While he acknowledged that advantage can only take you so far, he said all 17 players who line up in a Blues jersey will be determined to complete the job for their home fans.

"It's pretty awesome playing at ANZ, I'd love to play every game at home. Two years ago we had the decider up in Queensland, now we get the chance to be at home and create some new history and hopefully do it at home in front of a home crowd.

"It's a lot more enjoyable playing at home. In terms of advantage, we're still playing on a footy field. If you're not turning up on the day and performing for one another, that goes out the window.

"The crowd can get behind you as best as they can and they do help you in those tough situations, but at the end of the day, you've got to be able to perform well and turn up."

The Blues are attempting to secure back-to-back series wins for the first time since 2005, with NSW securing the trophy in 2018 with a win at ANZ Stadium in game two.

For Frizell's NSW and St George Illawarra teammate Paul Vaughan, that match was the first time he had experienced a packed ANZ Stadium.

Now he's preparing for his second Origin in Sydney, the 28-year-old is looking forward to running out in front of 80,000 screaming NSW fans for what will be his first State of Origin decider.

"Last year was the first time I had played at a packed out ANZ, that was pretty special." Vaughan said. "Usually when we play at ANZ it's not that full, next week it's going to be packed out and hopefully the majority will be NSW supporters. It's going to be a cool spectacle.

"Playing in Perth was a cool experience last game, obviously it's a massive stadium and had a massive crowd as well, so that was a good experience. But a packed out ANZ Stadium, it's going to be pretty cool."
