As an international viewer, thought this was supposed to be a close contest each year. But all the historic game highlights posted here today had NSW win. Guess NSW must win every year! ;)

[@sirnolzy7113]

Quite the opposite actually

[@Oskar.s.s]

Forgot how shocking Wally Lewis was in commentary

[@RB26DETT_]

The last true game of NRL as we knew it

[@redone6171]

That stepping Jennings did for his try was a Masterpiece

[@theoriginaldudes]

Gallen with the cheap shot and ruined the biff for everyone

[@auGigaShaw]

😂😂

[@quinnlatea8561]

Bahahah that’s not a cheap ol mate stood toe to toe and threw the first don’t start

[@Mikequalitycontrol]

This is when NSW had all the Roosters players

[@joshuav.santos5220]

2013 was meant to be the year for NSW to end QLD’s streak but they did the year later!

[@pauljcross2289]

yeah....Qld won 11 outta 12 years....NSW are rubbish

[@janicewilson-tx4ck]

Mighty Queensland Maroons Dominate Origin Games Queenslander❤❤❤

[@fcukgogle9213]

Gallen was right about Nate the whole time, but that was the plan from the start and it worked, especially with a nogan like that...

[@Pizzacrust999]

No, Gallen’s just a flop. Thats all.

[@Jp-do9ny]

Back when origin was good

[@trackdaniel5630]

Back when u could just punch someone

[@tumainathan1535]

Gallon a snitch 🤣

[@dxfifa]

The consequences of this game helped ruin the NRL.
Origin died this day in its original form

[@nimi92niro91]

Whole Rugby League died that day

[@Oskar.s.s]

Because punching was banned? Grow up

[@dxfifa]

@@Oskar.s.s No, punching was always banned you idiot, it just removed ref's discretion from the game and allowed unlimited grubbing with no consequences

[@stevvvvveperry]

@@Oskar.s.s Origins ratings around this time were around 3-4 million, alot of viewership from afl states at this time because even though they weren't fans of rugby league, they would tune in for the spectacle and brutality of origin matches
Now ratings are usually around 1.5-2 million, and the spectacle is almost gone.
The administration at the time thought they were doing the right thing by cleaning up origin but all they really did was halve the TV audience and interest nation wide.

[@themanwithnothingtolose]

@@stevvvvveperry yes, because Viewership and revenue is more important than player welfare

[@Chrissmills]

Rabs commentary 😢

[@nicksalmon2389]

I can’t wait until Phil Gould stops commentating.
