'Mango' the man of the moment for Maroons | Game 1, 2005 | Classic Origin Finishes | NRL

[@tristmas6458]

I still get chills watching Matty B score this. The Legend. This was just before the QLD dynasty. This and the ending of the 2015 Cowboys Premiership Game. The best for us in NQ !

[@philipgould4438]

I loved watching Matty Bowen play. One of the best.

[@williamtiki819]

I watch this game when I was 10. Am 28 years old now. That day I favourate Bowen as my best State Player.

[@tamataua4370]

I remember watching this in a packed bar here in Auckland and the place erupted when Bowen got the intercept ... aw happy days

[@blaze-ut4fo]

Matty Bowen is My nephew 😁🙏🏽 we're both from the same community Cape York Peninsula Far North East Coast Queensland 😁 During his time playing for the cowboys I've always told him I'm a Sydney Roosters fan 😂 The 2005 grand final The week after I saw Him Here (HopeVale) I said to Him: What happened? Did Benji Marshall put you Under the table or in the closet! 😂😂 He said to me: shut the FK Up!!! 😂😂😂 My little brother's team West Tigers!! 💪🏽😁👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@mwhite4324]

Crazy seeing Cameron Smith on the bench during such a critical moment of an Origin match haha

[@seansmith9435]

Because he was still young at that time

[@TristanButler23]

Thank god! I’ve been looking for this games highlights in good quality forever!

[@gulugul78]

We want more🙏🏾

[@Threeniner]

Bowen is so underrated. One of the best fullbacks in NRL.

[@ethanmullins9523]

He’s not underrated that was his origin debut in 2005

[@Cloncurryboi88]

when he arrived at the cowboys thats when fans started to drive 800km+ to watch them play

[@voooboooo5618]

One of the best

[@darylkanofski9327]

@@ethanmullins9523 I disagree, he never got the chance for Australia only playing 1 game because of Ricky Stuart

Shaun Berrigan was so good.

[@random_fixes3229]

That was the last time kimorley ever played for the blues 🤣😂🤣...I will never forget that intercept I watched it live...I still get goosebumps watching this

[@whyumad8947]

He last played in the 2010 series

[@whyumad8947]

Love the confidence though 🤣

[@Ignatius7778]

Probably the best origin game ever

[@awolemangi]

When JT the goat was born

[@uncolouredsteve5839]

Insane how far forward that pass was

[@everydaysadaytopleasegod2439]

No way

[@PeterDrewery]

Which pass

[@adolphfalustasik6213]

Bowen was one of the best full backs of the time, and several times in state of origin games he scores intercepted tries, that he is one of the greatest of all time.

[@long2d]

Brett Stewart was better

[@mrrl9189]

@@long2d better at what? Flopping in origin? Cheap shotting other players? Prime Bowen runs rings around Stewart little

[@atak1_]

MR RL bruv does Bowen have a premiership or over 150 tries don’t think so 🤣🤣🤣

[@mrrl9189]

@@atak1_ no premiership doesn’t mean anything, that’s a team effort not an individual one. and Bowen had two knee reconstructions. Without them he would’ve had 150+ tries comfortably

[@FigsyGames]

Crazy seeing Lockyer take the pressure goal kick in the 77th minute when JT is in the team. How things change

[@rjak187]

Miss all the old legends good on ya mango Mande Qld proud

[@jaiboyslim]

Ah, KZbin. Literally like time travelling. What a moment still to this day, 17 years later.

[@DLolok-ve5pw]

Brad Thorn celebrating from the bench after JT kicked the field goal was just too good.

[@philsy154]

My first ever origin. I was right in front of that intercept 5 rows back. To see that live especially after Steven Bell had touched the JT field goal (the whole crowd thought the field goal wouldnt count because of the hand that bell got to it). Unbelievable game.

[@ethanmullins9523]

I love these vids

[@jamesdurham2590]

Remember watching this as a kid with my old man

[@GoDxism]

Wow, I watched this live but I couldn't remember this game being so fast paced. You would think this is the first 10 minutes of the match if there wasn't a timer there.

[@taniahossack5326]

the first clip should have been a forward pass

[@gulugul78]

I remember it like it was yesterday🥲👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@matthewvalencic4217]

Because Of Delta Goodrem’s 2003 Debut Studio Album Innocent Eyes

[@smokedog3750]

Pass from Matt King was so blatantly forward

[@jinx103]

He defs should be in the running for NRL hall of fame

[@petergriffiths5537]

Hamiso reminds me a little of bowens playing style. Hope he has the same effect this year. Big boots to fill in gagais

[@Sylbais7]

Unpopular opinion. Scot Prince and Matt Bowen didn’t get more game time in Origin coz they were in the same era as Lockyer, Thurstan, Smith Inglis etc….

[@thinkcritically6373]

as a qld'er, poor noddy 😔

[@nathanirwin6875]

What year did Bowen rundown minachello

[@kennykoimo7084]

King threw a clear forward pass but luckily it was a 4 pointer

[@Tooomasbiwden]

No one pulls up Matt king's forward pass......

[@patorr69]

Right? it went at least a metre forward. lol

[@lolosaulala48]

No where near foward

[@maccaspope2275]

Cause it wasn't it left his hands backwards. But the momentum from the run makes it drift forward

[@Tooomasbiwden]

@@maccaspope2275" momentum rule" was BS that got introduced to protect Andrew johns.its a disease on the game.... The rule states if the ball is received forward of where it left the hands it's a forward pass

[@PeterDrewery]

That NSW try pass was forward

[@02783]

that pass was fkn 7 metres forward

[@ronanrogers4127]

All the banana benders moaning about King’s “forward” pass…it was backwards out of the hands and drifted forwards

[@Oskar.s.s]

What a team that NSW side was, nearly clutched it without Joey

[@seansmith9435]

QLD too good mate haha even if nsw have superman they’ll still get beaten from QLD hahaha

[@tobyparkinson3189]

Then in game 2 The GOAT 🐐 Joey single handedly manhandled Smith, Slater, JT and Lockyer all in the same game

[@Zmart30]

@James East Bowen played game 2 against Johns

[@legendwaitforitdary4735]

At that point, apart from Lockyer, all those players were new to origin and not as good, but if they get were in their primes, it would’ve been a different story *cough cough* 8 series in a row *cough cough*
