Qld vs NSW State of Origin Game 1 1990

[@kenjones6441]

I remember Dan Stains, Michael Hagan and Martin Bella at Halifax in the 80s and 90s. Great times never to be repeated and never forgotten.

I was at this match at age 11 and have never ever forgotten the electric atmosphere. Unbelievable experience as a kid... love Origin!

[@glensmillie5101]

Great times, enjoyable memories and I used to love it, but it's been transformed into an ugly golden goose... I remember when footy players had day jobs!😢

[@glensmillie5101]

Walfords kick and chase display was brilliant 😅

Air New Zealand ultimate football

The jump in skill level in Rugby League between 1985-1990 is astronomical, a new generation of players just coming thru here, no veterans of the 70's still floating about.

[@raphaelbernard7954]

Yeah, does Wally Lewis, Mal Meninga ring a bell?

[@kenjones6441]

Over 30 years ago and still miles ahead of Super League.

[@DylanBrown-do2gz]

NSW dominated Origin in the 90's.

With most of the games controlled by QLD born refs🤯

[@philipgreenaway5631]

It’s clear here QLD missed Lewis in this match. They looked disjointed, disorganised even uncoordinated in attack and defence, hence the score line.
