Cat. No. DVDS 1121: 2013 STATE OF ORIGIN - COMPLETE SERIES. SERIOUS BUSINESS / BEYOND BHE4979

COLOUR                     RUNNING TIME: 240 mins.

REVIEW: When challenged, they stood up to be counted. And now these mighty men in maroon can count themselves as part of the greatest State of Origin dynasty in history. Their remarkable winning streak remains intact after the 2013 Holden State of Origin series saw Queensland fight back to retain the coveted Origin shield. Under new coach Laurie Daley, their opponents in blue seemed hungrier, feistier, more determined than ever. They ambushed the Maroons in Game 1 in Sydney, dominating them all over the park in the first half and leaving the Queenslanders with too much to do after the break.

Heading back to Brisbane 1-0 down was the wake-up call that Mal Meninga’s men needed as they rode a fired-up Queensland crowd and an inspired performance from Johnathan Thurston to level up the series with a commanding Game II victory. It set up a fitting finale to arguably one of the best series in years as the focus shifted back to Sydney for a sold-out game III. Facing a hostile Blues side and a parochial New South Wales crowd, the Maroons Champions found an extra gear in a tense Game III, putting the Blues to the sword to secure and incredible eight consecutive series win.
