State of Origin: state against state,
mate against mate. Over a history spanning four decades, Origin football
has presented us with some of the greatest moments in Australian sport.
Now, step back in time to relive twenty of the greatest ever victories
by the New South Wales Blues, presented in their entire original
broadcast format.Who could forget the Blues first ever series win in
1985, inspired by the heroics of skipper Steve Mortimer as he charged
down and attempted field goal late in the game, sparking scenes of
jubilation at the SCG? Or when a fired-up Mark Geyer went toe-to-toe
with Wally Lewis in 1991, before Michael OConnor slotted a sideline
conversion to cap an epic Blues victory? Witness a bloodied Ben Elias
embodying the dogged determination of his New South Welshmen in their
dominance of the early 1990s; relive the playmaking brilliance of Andrew
Johns over a ten year Origin career; and experience again the
fairy-tale ending for Blues legend Brad Fittler in 2004, scoring the
final try of his last Origin encounter in front of an adoring Sydney
crowd. All these memories and more are here, in twenty of the finest
ever performances from the New South Wales Blues.
