There’ll be a few tears and a dummy spit at the Tomkins’ home if the mighty Maroons don’t win the State-of-Origin decider tonight. But it won’t be from Queensland’s newest truly maroon

supporter Benji Tomkins. They’ll be from his dad Karl. Proud mum Renee says she’s used to it and it’s given her great training for Benji. Not that she’s needed it yet. “He’s an angel,” she said. For all the mums out there Benji was born on June 21 and weighed in at 7lb50z.
