Who were our best State Of Origins Players, by State

[Grantysghost]

You're right. I remember it was career-ending so I assumed it was the knee but it was his Achilles

Wasn't the phantom drink cart was it?

[bornadog]

What was the deal with Stuart Wigney?

He wasn't much of a player

[Axe Man]

He wasn't much of a player

But he had a magnificent curly blonde mullet.

[jeemak]

How did he manage to get a game for Victoria?

Must've been a lot of injuries!

[Mofra]

I have in my mind that he snapped his achilles.

I can recall him being on crutches and getting a huge roar in our last game of his final year when he emerged from the players dugout.

I remember that too - everyone in the crowd where I was was yelling out to give him one more game on the bench

[Axe Man]

How did he manage to get a game for Victoria?

It was the B side, but still a surprise looking back.

Ted Whitten was the star of interstate games which were not necessarily state of origin. The crowds at the MCG for the games were incredible being one sided. I loved when the crowd lit up when Ted went near the ball, everything he did they adored. He loved the arena, the stage and flamboyantly played it up but still delivered.

Doug Hawkins giving Dunstall and Lockett silver service at the MCG.

[Mantis]

He wasn't much of a player

He had one quite good season playing as a roaming CHF which coincided with him playing for Victoria, but when teams played him more physically his form dropped away.... quickly!

[Rocket Science]

Fondly recall one of our senior assistants having some influence off half back for the Big V in the late 90s.

Y'know, back before our number fives rolled without a team of stylists.

[Avoid the rush]

Jack Collins played every key position for Victoria and excelled at them all. As already mentioned Brian Royal was elite in these games and John Schultz was a star for Victoria in his day. Who would get a game for the Vics out of our current line up?

Bonts gets in. I'd expect a fight over Naughton. Initially grew up in the early years in Victoria, but moved to WA where he played his U/18's footy. I enjoyed the haggling over players and 'state's rights'.

We're pretty diverse. Bonts and and potentially Jack or Smith at the Big V (very hard midfield to crack). Naughton (probably) and English for WA. Daniel for SA.

Libba way ahead of Smith on their most recent seasons and he probably wouldn't get in either. Bailey Dale a chance in the backline.

It’s a rediculous midfield at the Big V. I wonder which other state would be the best match up? WA maybe?
