REVIEW: Since its inception in 1980, State of Origin football has provided the Australian sporting narrative with some of its greatest ever moments. In what is widely considered our nation’s fiercest sporting rivalry, we have witnessed feats of sublime skill, dogged determination and sheer inspiration. From try-saving tackles to spectacular tries, it’s white-knuckle edge-of-your seat stuff for three nights of every year. Put simply, Origin isn’t just a game - it’s something that is ingrained in-our fabric-from the first time we pick up footy.
From the first ever in 1980, when Maroons legend Artie Beetson led to the native state into battle for the only time, to Steve Mortimer inspiring New South Wales to their first series with 1985, State of Origin has delivered countless memories for the fans. See how Wally Lewis earned his nickname “The King” during bruising contests of the 1980s or watch Mark Geyer’s infamous one-man rampage during the legendary 1991 series. Experience the peerless playmaking brilliance of Allan Langer, Andrew Johns and Darren Lockyer; the white line fever of Ben Elias and Gordon Tallis: the unbridled fervour of Billy Moore, Laurie Daley and Brad Fittler; the last-gasp heroics of Mark Coyne, Mark McGaw, Shaun Timmins and more. Relive the best tries, the toughest tackles, the pride and the passion that only Origin can deliver as we sit back and enjoy the 100 of the most memorable moments in State of Origin history, as selected by a panel of respected Rugby League experts and journalists.
