In the first of a three part series we look at the history of the Rugby League State Of Origin series. As we look at the history of interstate football between NSW and QLD from 1908 to 1981 and we talk about the birth of State Of Origin football.

We go through each thrilling series, the highlights, the low-lights, the players who stood out, and the people that shaped this incredible contest.

This is the Wally Lewis Era, from 1980 to 1991. We hope you enjoy it!
