It
is regarded by many commentators as the pinnacle of Rugby League - the
highest standard of representative football. Is has provided our game
with some of its greatest moments, as generations of fans have borne
witness to incredible feats of skill and courage. The phenomenon that
almost never was. By the late 1970s, traditional interstate matches
between Queensland and New South Wales were losing relevance, cashed-up
Sydney teams were attracting the best players from north of the Tweed
River, who soon found themselves pitted against fellow Queenslanders
from the less-lucrative BRL premiership. Sensing a decline in the
spectacle QRL supremo Senator Ron McAuliffe and his NSWRL counterpart
Kevin Humphreys developed a revolutionary plan. Players would be
selected based on their origin and the State of Origin concept was born.
Now, step back in time and witness every action packed moment from the
90s! Relive the passionate showdown between a fired up Wally Lewis and
towering Mark Geyer, when emotions boiled over. Follow the emergence of
the greatest coach in NSW history, as Phil Gould takes the reigns in
1992, leading his team to glory. Reminisce over the miracle try where
the Steeden passed through no less than ten sets of hands before Mark
Coyne famously stole victory from almost certain defeat. Re-experience
one of the more fabled moments in origin history where the code-word
cattledog triggered an all-in brawl in the 1997 series, all these
moments and many many more are included in this Mighty 90s Collection.
