The amount of head high tackles that would be sin bins nowadays ahaha

[@MrKangdon]

The fact that none of the "victims" complained about the tackles says a lot about today's game.

[@bighole2908]

This is only 2000 but looks like the 80’s/90’s

[@jitbetripping2953]

I know it looks so weird the T-shirts lol

[@pantherz9103]

Well it was similar jerseys to 90’s obviously because it was just after the 90’s. I was there that night at what was called ‘Stadium Australia’ back then. I saw Tallis sent off haha.

[@rjoe001]

The true spirit of State of Origin is witnessed in this game. 💪🤘🤘

[@MJBOGAN]

The true spirit of biased refereeing, a one sided bashing 14 vs 12 if you count the ref. If you don't see how this highlights everything wrong with league I'm not gonna explain it any further.

@@MJBOGAN we smashed QLD in the next 2 games anyway lol 💙💙

[@jimwatkins3134]

absolutely I agree with you! Blues knocking the ball on and play on! in 1993 the decider Queensland was denied a match winning try to willy Carne, when the series was 1-1 in the decider , the blues won it 2-1 check the video out! Queensland should have being awarded the try and the series!@@MJBOGAN

[@MJBOGAN]

That was 11 minutes of the most jilted refereeing ever.

[@1362pc]

Harrigan never knew what a NSW knock on or forward pass was...

[@12from121]

oh glorious peach! My heart be broken 3 times over 99, 01, 02. You were sharkie personified! Both brilliant and bound for heartbreak

[@fredbesari3614]

The ragging bull live.

[@fishbarra4880]

Two knock ons and two tries. Still you southern mob are way behind on origins won and that's with 3 times the amount of players in the nursery. Reckon we can give you mob another lesson this year A.

[@TallTony27]

And we did 😁

[@1362pc]

Harrigan didn't call NSW knock ons...

[@mathewmatters4212]

The worst Irgun match Harigan has ever reffed!! If he knew how to call a knock on for the blues it would have been a massive difference

[@1362pc]

Tallis was right...

[@auzziguy449]

@@1362pc camera angle exaggerates how obvious we might think the knock on was.

[@azkatro]

Peachey should have played way more rep football.

[@dragonoftheeast7572]

At least 20 sin bins

[@MrKangdon]

Gotta love hearing Butthurt Wally whinging

[@icmull]

Sometimes I think they tell the ref to go easy on NSW cause they dont want them to give up on Origin

[@t3chn1n35]

Harrigon was a bias muppet, in this whole video he lets 2 clear knock ons go ahead…what a disgrace

[@jamesmcgowan8709]

I’m a NSW fan and completely agree. Tallis didn’t help himself though. He always had a problem with keeping his mouth shut

[@fpot]

More like three.

This was the real "worst Queensland team ever". NSW 3-0.

[@morganaris7424]

Useless referee 👎

[@jimwatkins3134]

Nsw Cheated in this series with knock ons being allowed to play on! disgraceful refereeing Queensland dont deserve to lose this match! I have watched most matches live since 1990 and only missing 1 to 2 matches! even The great Ray Warren admitted at the end Queensland believe they were the better team and he was spot on! the Nsw blues were Cheating in the series scoring off knock ons! and so many other series in the 90s

[@random_fixes3229]

The last play....🤦‍♂️ Paul green this is why you shouldn't be QLD coach...You got no flair in you....You couldn't do anything for QLD during your stint playing...useless

[@auzziguy449]

yikes this didn't age well

[@fantomghost6213]

RIP Paul!!
