The wig has been given a supercharged upgrade with an LED antenna to light up when the lights go down and an in-built headphone connecting wearers to SMARTWiG radio.

The radio will deliver wearers with six hours of customised radio programming including Triple M’s expert commentary and live call of the on-field action during the game.

The wigs will be available exclusively to 12,000 Star Blatchys ticket holders at Sydney’s ANZ Stadium for State of Origin Game Two on Wednesday, 21 June 2017.

Before kick-off Blues legends Nathan Hindmarsh and Bryan Fletcher will talk to past NSW legends and take listeners into the NSW sheds to hear from NSW VB Blues head coach Laurie Daley.

NSWRL Head of Commercial Jodie Cross said:

“It is a great way for our fans to experience the game and the first time any Australian sport has been able to implement an activation like this.

“It’s something you can’t get in your lounge room. It’s a Blatchys Blues exclusive benefit;  you have to be at the game to experience it. We strongly urge Blues supporters to get in while stocks last.”

“Hindy and Fletch” will also speak directly to the Blatchys via the SMARTWiG throughout the game, ensuring the Blatchys Blues are one of the most coordinated supporter groups, by moving, chanting and cheering as one.
Blues need to bring home a victory.”
