Awesome the team that put this amazing piece together respecting great tv of the past and a great production team today keeping it modern forever ,thank you sports world tv keeping me safe at night as a teenager. And awesome stadium events forever 💞🏖️

Every blade of grass mate

Great doco 👍

How the hell do you play with a broken leg?! lol

Meninga had the coolest ball grounding.

Michael O'Connor was the difference in a lot of games

Two initial takeaways …..Wayne Bennett doesn’t know it all …..he’s a miserable 4ka 😏🤣

Unfortunately today’s SOO competition only a mere shadow of what the teams were like back then.

Lets GO QLD 2024... back 5m not ten 3 point try not 4

Wally didn’t look too happy when Frankenstein took his hat in the process making Wally look like a dick LOL. Too be fair Frankenstein didn’t know he was a Queensland legend, just another tourist to him.

I was lucky to experience radio calls of the horror of interstate matches in the 70s, where NSW would occasionally bump a born and bred incumbent for a Qlder playing in the Sydney comp, but for all the OTHER Qlders who'd headed south it meant no chance of playing if NSW knocked them back. A lot of talent was kept off the field, and it was ALL maroon. That was the sneaky trick in the mix. As soon as we got to pick our own, they started to run rings around those Kangaroos in blue, and take their slots on coming tours. It also meant that Qlders could now head south, giving the BRL and QRL players a boost in opportunities. Best of all, it shut the southern press down at last. All the crap about Origin not going to make any difference was over.

I, like a million or more Queenslanders feel blessed to live in a time where we could watch the career of the GOAT of our game and to feel the pain of his being robbed of the accolades, he had earned by the blinked ignorance of desk jockeys. 👑❤

Had the pleasure of meeting Alfie in Weipa. Top bloke.

rugby league week on Wednesday to catch up with the scores and news north of the border only saw them play in the mid-week comp and state of origin

diehards any day of the week

Aussies. Coolest accent on earth. From a pomm.😎

Had Tommy as a cabbie home one night from the Valley. He would have made a great Queenslander.

Darrell Eastlake commentary. Awesome

I also remember Wally copping it for being too old to play, his vindication, that try through the guts of the defence and his victory salute, one of triumph. I went to keebra Park high and Wally often came to give motivational speeches to our players. We were reeeeeeal good in the late eighties.

Now Jarrod Haynes in jail as a convicted rapist...

Well done Doc. I feel privleged to have wittness it. Ronald Edward McAuliffe should have been Premier then PM. So much ignorance south of the border. Except for the likes of Tommy and talant scouts. It may have been different if brisbane games where shown in Sydney. We got to see both. As for a Final at Lang park Better atmosphere than a state of Origin.

Wally Lewis owned origin for the best part of a decade. He was big, strong, mobile, an unbelievable defender and reader of the game. He was skilful, fearless, intimidating, passionate, and led Queensland to victory almost on every occasion he put on the maroon jersey. NSW threw everything at him, but he almost always prevailed, leading the way for his side each and every time. He is the most naturally gifted rugby league player I've ever seen to come out of Queensland, and he is probably still the most revered and feared man south of the Tweed River when it comes to rugby league. He and Arthur Beetson are the two greatest players to ever play for Queensland's State of Origin team in my opinion, and there really should only be three statues at Lang Park that need to be there as far as rugby league in Queensland is concerned : • Senator Ron McAuliffe • Arthur Beetson • Wally Lewis Those three names alone represent the whole story of the State of Origin in Queensland.

*... don't get that honey sauce on me, I don't like the way it tastes with my chicken wings ...*

To answer the question at 5:43.....only Terry Lamb never appeared again, with the G2 team shuffled all over the olace compared to G1. Sironen, Lazarus (bench player) and Farrar didnt return in 1989.

Hale terry fearnley i belive he is the first nsw coach to win in 85 even put the sookys in there place

from a cockroach point of view. Freddy the sook. Did he ever become a man?

What about Roy Masters comment about Qlders having less brains, well results speak louder than words as Qld has won more games and more series

Wally at 8:11. It took TWO magic sponges to fix him.

If this game went forward, Rugby League would have looked very different today.

Thank you man. Seriously Thankyou 🍻👏

Always see him at Paddington Central, which is just up the road from suncorp stadium, fka Lang Park, usually he's with Kevin Walters.

This video should be shown to any Qld team no matter which sport it is

When Arthur Beetson and Wally Lewis say this is Queensland's greatest and most famous State of Origin victory, I better believe that this is the whole truth and nothing but the truth!

The greatest story ever told that happened 🙌👏❤

So good ❤

you could say southern invasion ,some kiwi boys stoodup as well .

I know this is 4 years old, but this is great man, great work on this.

One of the Greatest Games ever played. I'll never forget that game. Peter Sterling played for Hull and Wigan had Brett Kenny and John Chicka Ferguson 😉 What a fkn game 😊 As an Eels fan watching two of your favourite Players head to head it was an incredible game. Although Chicka didn't play for Parra he was still one of my Fave Players. He was Greece Lightning 😏

I wish England would bring back the war of the roses as a proper match. I just think it wasn’t marketed properly but done correctly it could be big.

Wynnum should have played Parramatta. Why not.??.

The concern with this Wynnum-Manly team is the fiscal situation. The club were subsidised by the QRL ultimately paying for the contracts of players including Wally Lewis and Gene Miles, yet were bankrupt in 1986 and had to appoint Wally Lewis as Captain/Coach. That stated Wynnum-Manly played the game in a free flowing positive style and maybe the only player to out fox the negative play of Warren Ryan's Canterbury team could be Wally Lewis. It was only a bad day with the boot from Terry Lamb and a smart tactical kicking game from Peter Sterling that saw Canterbury defeated in 1986. Canterbury played in 3 straight Sydney Grand Finals and scored a combined total 15 points, for some context Manly Warringah scored 18 points in the 1987 Syndey Grand Final and Canterbury out scored this 15 points in each of their Grand Final wins in 1980 & 1988.

I watched this and remember Dad gushing over how good Wally was playing. Everything he did turned to gold.

Well done mate. Excellent doco. I wish there were more good League docos like this.

great video, learnt some things there, would be great if these old vids could be up scaled, but great effort put into making this one

What a game and I was there 🎉

Only ever one King. Thanks Wal.

The Emperor!

I was there that day too. Cheering on the Airlie Birds. I thought we were going to pinch it at the end. Not mentioned by anyone but Hull had a number of youngsters in the side, Crooks, Schofield, Divorty and Puckering. I believe they were all teenagers. Edwards being the notable Wigan youngster. Have to say though that Kenny was sheer class. Went home disappointed but still love to watch this every now and then.

2nd Test v NZ Carlaw Park not Eden Park...at that game Mel pulled off the greatest try saving play I have ever seen

If Wynnum were rated a 10 in attack in 1984 then Parramatta get an 11. Sterling, Kenny, Cronin, Ella and Grothe was the best back line in club footy that Rugby League in Australia could have offered. So much Bias in this video.
