During this period, as a Queenslander, you knew the NSW team had more talent. They were absolute machines and full of HOF'ers. This try is easily the most memorable of my life and seeing it live was nothing short of mind blowing as a kid. NSW ended up winning the series (as they should have), but this did a lot to keep our heads up during a tough period in the 90s for QLD.
Mal was a 2nd rower who played the game hiding in the outfield. A proper Labrador. He was as reliable as my 3W when he was kicking. We all get lucky sometimes.
I'm a QLDer too but I think NSW has always fielded bigger boys, ay haha. Edit: Living in London right now but missing the footy back home too. But stay safe all.
Watching these old games league used to be so much more exciting. When did they stop have backline moves, both centres on one side and such? Nowadays every team plays with the exact same structure. Halfback on one side, five eight on the other, every team runs the exact same second man plays etc.
Is this commentary redubbed? They mention America and stuff. Sterling made a cheeky comment about how he knew who was gonna win when that dude played the ball back the front.
Yeah we stop The game for 10 mins for someone to go Off with a HIA look at the replay 60 times with 13 camera angles and then sin bin the player for a shoulder charge the games a mess now
This game was the only thing I liked about origin that year with the mark Coyne try and the look on the NSW players faces it was just a pity that QLD couldn't send Mal off a winner six later the second time I'd been to a live origin game.
Jeez the skill level and athleticism is so much better nowadays. I can only imagine how devastating an Inglis or Taumalolo would be if they played in the 90s
Gary Paskvić Cameron Smith is a good example of a modern day natural footy player on the park, not the normal pumped up hyper fit modern day professional athletes, but yes there were a lot more players of this mould in that era of footy
That Guy these guys are much bigger than you'd think, every forward would be well over 100kegs except benny elias. And mal was faster and heavier than inglis so we know how inglis would do, not as well as Mal. And rick stuart would destroy a game today with the 40/20 rule, the amount of 30/10's i saw this guy kick was incalculable, he belts it 20 yards further than anyone today
NSW won game 2 14-0 and game 3 27/-12 for the threepeat ruining mals farewell. The try meant nothing but a highlight now for qld fans to cream over for years .
@@eddielasowsky7777 big deal you beat a nsw team who had about 7 different useless halves and gidley as a captain. If they played a decent nsw team back in the 90s would have been more even.

never mind the two last minute tries, the fact mal kicked 2 in a row is the bigger miracle

Thanks for putting these vids up.makes my day.
A player who was every bit as impressive and determined as Tallis and Webcke was Andrew Gee; he deserves to be remembered, for all the right reasons.
I'm a Queensland supporter but what a foward pack the blues had chief , Siro , Roberts , Lazarus
I'm a QLDer too but I think NSW has always fielded bigger boys, ay haha.

@MUFC the more feminine the average man gets, the more popular soccer gets.

In the 91 series (the best series ever) the QLD pack averaged about 105kgs and the NSW pack averaged about 97kg

I love this game. Its forever young and ageless
I’ll never forget when Mark Coyne scored that try my dad got so excited he nearly throw me through the ceiling 😂
Wherever I go on something sport related you’re there
How was he when they lost this series anyway ? Threw you out the window ?

I hear you mate. I played inside centre of the 5/ 8thg in rep in 1983. Long back line and short right side. Good times.
What a gun Daley was
Sironen bumps off Meninga what a beast
Darren Fritz was hanging for a dart after that last try.
Man Willie Carne was a unit
what a classic... that f**king try!!!
Great commentary

Coyne. What a try
These 90’s games are the only rugby league I watch anymore. The modern game just isn’t the same and holds little interest for me these days.
Yeah we stop
The game for 10 mins for someone to go
Off with a HIA look at the replay 60 times with 13 camera angles and then sin bin the player for a shoulder charge the games a mess now
This is what state of origin footy is all about
God how many Broncos in this Origin !
1:34 I didn’t know Samsung existed in 94
30 years on.
How can you defend against such terrifying players.
I remember This night👈🏾👏🏾💖
Between 1990 to 2005, NSW won 10 series, Qld 4. The heyday of Blues. Qld won two draws, a draw is not a win.
2 former and 2 current origin coaches playing here
great QLD try. Fortunately a superior NSW side won the last 2 games of the series.
I see why, everybody was surprised they won this game. Great game tho
yeah that's as good as it gets great game
Can you upload game 2 1994 at the mcg?
This game was the only thing I liked about origin that year with the mark Coyne try and the look on the NSW players faces it was just a pity that QLD couldn't send Mal off a winner six later the second time I'd been to a live origin game.
That was an epic try
Times have changed...This was just before pacific islanders came into rugby league and started dominating it.
We definitely need the talent pool that they provide though. It's good for the game the more countries that are involved.

Totally disagree.The skill level is evident in all these players playing here in this game.
What if you gave them 90's fitness levels and nutrition? What if you gave Alfie, Ricky etc modern training methods and nutrition? You can't compare
A lot of players played footy part time and had full time jobs during the week. This was just before it became a professional sport.
Bella @8:53 lol
Langer can’t even pass the ball to his left properly. Stuart was a way better half back.
Carne dropped the ball over the try line
No I didn’t 🤷🏻♂️😂
@@KillerCarne 😉
for what
It is. Pretty funny.
Great defence force nsw
1:30:10
can you please put up game 3 1992
NSW won game 2 14-0 and game 3 27/-12 for the threepeat ruining mals farewell. The try meant nothing but a highlight now for qld fans to cream over for years .
Threepeat is the best NSW fans can cream about, whilst getting 8 in a row dunked all over them.
@@eddielasowsky7777 big deal you beat a nsw team who had about 7 different useless halves and gidley as a captain. If they played a decent nsw team back in the 90s would have been more even.
