Unfortunately for me I`m a NSW supporter but can't deny how good the QL team was in these days. Meninga, Lewis, Langer, Renouf, Hancock and Carn were just so painfully unbeatable. Same with Smith, Cronk, Lockyer, Slater, Inglis. Not sure if I hate to love them or love to hate them. The reason I`m such a sad NSW supporter.
@@elrey8876 Thanks mate. Yes I am happy. I really thought NSW were going to lose Game 3 this year with QL`s second half come back. Fortunately James Tedesco scored that last minute try. Finally some wins coming our way!
@@seankiely975 There was not a single highlight showing Meninga breaking a McGaw tackle. Meninga loved to play against Steve Ella and Paul McGregor. However McGaw had the combination of upper body strength, speed and aggression to nullify Meninga, Meninga was actually psyched out by McGaw and used to slow down or pause when he saw McGaw coming at him in defence, On the other hand, McGaw scored or setup several game winning tries against QLD with Meninga in the side. Meninga was the better overall player but one on one could not get over the top of McGaw.
Superb! Im a st helens supporter who was only a toddler when he played for us, what i have seen of him wishes i was older. Utter class!
Legend in the making during that time one the best players in Queensland's history for state of origin. woot woot GO QUEENSLAND !!! GO MAROONS!!!
Up the blues 🔷🔵🔹🔵🔷🔵🔹🔵🔷 NEW SOUTH WALES on top
I met the big fella in my senior year of high school in 2005 and got him to sign my exercise book. I'll never forget that day.
Best Center of that Era.
mark coyne was an awesome player too like the visions of him in this video too :)

You should be a happy one now... and for a few years to come I think.

Don't forget Linder mate and being a nsw supporter I agree but awesome football,shits on today.
No wonder they won so much Meninga ,Lewis ,Linder .what an Era,great days even for us nsw supporters
Man he was strong. Power, speed, strength. But skill as well. Great combination of traits..
If Wally was the King, Meninga was the Prime Minister and how good was Bobby Lindner in those days?
Love it
Immortal
The young’ns today have no idea how good Big Mal was...GI could be as devastating, but Mal was devastating more often.
Good video but not long enough
what a legend
How is this great man not an immortal?!
???
Great Origin player until McGaw intimidated him out of running the ball hard.
I think you mean paul McGregor
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I’m as big a Blues fan as anyone...but that’s simply not true. Is that you, Mark?
