Price to play in SOO match tonight

8:05 am on 15 July 2009

The Warriors captain Steve Price will take part in tonight's third State of Origin rugby league match in Brisbane.

Price has been battling the flu and had to be quarantined from his teammates.

Queensland coach Mal Meninga says Price will definitely play after training with the side yesterday at Lang Park and Meninga says he's got enough experience to handle the lack of preparation.

Meninga says even if he was crook, he certainly wanted to play.

Meninga, who has won his only four series as a coach, admitted to some nerves on the eve of the Maroons' attempt to clinch their first series clean sweep in 15 years.
