  • How New South Wales supersub Connor Watson learned to become a State of Origin matchwinner

    1 week ago | abc.net.au | Nick Campton

    Connor Watson still isn't quite sure of how the pass happened, he's just glad that it did. The New South Wales utility put his stamp on another Origin as he latched onto a Zac Lomax pass close to the line, twisted his way through four Queensland defenders to pop a miracle ball up for Dylan Edwards to score the try that wrapped up Game I for the Blues on Wednesday night.

  • How Payne Haas used the full limits of his power and precision to lead the way in State of Origin I

    1 week ago | abc.net.au | Nick Campton

    On Wednesday night, as he claimed his first State of Origin man of the match award, Payne Haas had one of those games that makes you think he could carry the whole world on his shoulders. A performance like this from Haas in Origin has been a long time coming. He has been marked for greatness since he was still a boy because his strengths have been so blindingly obvious. In a game made for big, strong men, Haas is the biggest and the strongest and can go the longest.

  • Thirty years on, Queensland's 1995 State of Origin miracle is still a tale without an end

    Trevor Gillmeister knows how to spin a yarn better than most but he promises this one is true and that makes sense because when it comes to Queensland's 1995 State of Origin victory there's rarely a need to put any mustard on things. "When I walk down the street in Brisbane in the city or somewhere, usually near Caxton Street and especially this time of year, someone driving past will wind down their window and yell out 'Gilly, 95, how good?' and drive off," Gillmeister said.

  • As North Sydney Oval stands eternal, the Bears live between past and future

    2 weeks ago | abc.net.au | Nick Campton

    North Sydney Oval is a place where time stands still, which can be a good thing on the right day because it'll make you want to stay forever. The ground has been used for more than 150 years, so a timeless quality comes with the territory, and you can feel that age from the famous fig tree at one end to the grandstands that dot around the oval in such irregular fashion. You would never build a ground for rugby league to these specifications.
