OF the 84,000 faces at ANZ Stadium, one special individual has the influence to lift NSW towards State of Origin supremacy.
In an inspiring show of support for the Blues, Newcastle's Alex McKinnon will attend the Origin II blockbuster with his fiancee Teigan Power.

NSW and Newcastle Knights forward Beau Scott has kept the fighting spirit of McKinnon close to his heart throughout the Origin series, penning the words 'Alex' to his wrist during Origin I in Brisbane.
While one of the first people to visit McKinnon when he was originally hospitalised in Melbourne, was Blues forward Greg Bird.
But McKinnon will take a well-earned break from his rigorous rehabilitation in hospital to join with the rest of the state, who are desperately hoping that NSW can eight years of Queensland Origin dominance.
Is this the Blues side to finally end Queensland's dominance of Origin?

The invitation to witness Wednesday night's clash up close and personal, was extended live on air by legendary Channel Nine commentator Ray Warren during his Triple M radio show two weeks ago.
Warren called on his contacts at Channel Nine and also his close mate 2GB radio host and fellow Nine commentator Ray Hadley to ensure McKinnon's Origin experience came to fruition.

And despite the logistical exercise of getting to and from Sydney Olympic Park, it was an offer the rugby league mad 22-year-old was hardly going to knock back.
Hadley has become a close confidant of the McKinnon family during the most tumultuous period of their lives. The popular talkback host has visited the former NRL star in hospital on several occasions since the accident to offer his support and was influential in helping McKinnon arrive at Wednesday night's game.
In a fitting gesture, Hadley is planning to introduce McKinnon to 'Rabs' Warren prior to his live call of one of the most anticipated matches in Origin history.
