Im a Qlder, and even I have to admit that Kurt Gidley has balls of steel. lol lot of respect for that guy.

[@iluzonist]

Yeah catching that ball he knew what was coming.

[@ianpowell2530]

You should learn the meaning of a King hit. What Goddard did was a great punch. A king hit is a cheap shot. Usually from behind.

[@feedthebeast5123]

The back story to the first fight is hilarious. Great job with video as well 👍

[@Giveme1goodreason]

1:13 people often forget the prelude to Tallis vs Ross. In 2001 Gordon Tallis took an innocuous knock that virtually paralysed him for a minute or 2. He later went to the hospital where scans showed from memory a thin spinal column meaning that for the 1st time in his life Gordon Tallis wasn’t just mortal he was vulnerable. He sat out the remainder of 2001 and came back in 2002 where he had mentioned to coach Bennett that he felt no one was scared of him any more and he might have to put on a Donnybrook to put the fear back in the opposition so that they could just let him play his game and let him finish his career peacefully. To which Bennett said well do it early and make it a big man. Gordon had been tackled by Ben Ross several times, and each time Ross had put pressure on tallis’s throat and neck as seen clearly 1:13 Tallis Warned him do not touch my neck again. He did the footage is what followed.

[@noelwebb6843]

Tallis tried to be an old school hard head giving a young player the old fashioned "welcome to 1st grade", was happy throwing punches until Ross could throw some back then wanted nothing to do with it

The last one man, they always forget to mention the significance of QLD kicking and giving the ball back to NSW, thank you! For some reason it always gives me goosebumps and makes me emotional seeing QLD stick up for their mate and destroy the blues, whether games/series wins or just giving them a good smack around.

You obviously didn’t see the qlder get laid out 1on1.lol The qld pack of cowards kick the ball back so 10 of them can dog shot Kurt gidley from all angles because they couldn’t win a fight. Hodges the fake tough guy thinking he’s the man unless it’s a dog shot he had nothing. We all know that because he gets knocked out every time he steps in to a boxing ring.

Yep lol, and then you have people that think he is some world class fighter or some shit, the guy had aggression I’ll give him that but if people seriously think he’d beat someone like Gallen they are off their heads lol

Dude pretty cool narration. Keep up the great work.

[@randombuzz6370]

Gordie was a raging bull. I recall hearing Joey on a Channel 9 show, saying Gordie puts the fear of god in him.

[@jooshualewis1872]

He is a bitch imo lol, pretty much all the fights he had with people involved him throwing the first 20 punches with people that didn’t even want to fight, and if that isn’t bad enough he actually lost one of them once. He threw like 10 punches at a guy before he had the chance to strike back but when he did he inflicted more damage on Tallis in one punch then Tallis did in his whole career of being the “Raging bull”

[@jimtekkit]

Gorden Tallis is a fucking savage and was one of the great State of Origin players.

[@jooshualewis1872]

He just wasn’t though, he would just throw his hands first and throw a lot quick to put himself at an advantage in the fight, I forget who it was he done it to once but I remember he like hit this guy 10x before he had enough time to react and the other guy got the better of Gordon with like 1-2 punches

[@Mac-jx8uj]

​@@jooshualewis1872it was the Englishman Terry O'Connor. I like Tallis but he got lucky that night if it had of gone on O'Connor would have done a lot more damage.

Don’t ever remember GT ever not king hitting someone to get the upper hand. I could be wrong but has anyone seen him not sucker punch someone?

[@7s29]

Gordon did his thing after Ross messed with his neck. Goddard is a boxer, John's found that out the hard way.

[@noelwebb6843]

So he's good against half backs but not other forwards 😆😆🤣🤣😆

[@michaelboyce7079]

Goddard was a Mt Isa boy - they can all fight! Without a doubt, it was the most violent town I ever lived in! Getting into a blue in the Isa wasn't a hard task! 🤣

[@jurgentreue1200]

Where it all began. Arthur Beetson flattening Parramatta team mate Michael Cronin in the first State of Origin match in 1980. After the game, no more was said about it and they sat next to each other on the return flight to Sydney. Cronin and Beetson remained life long friends.

[@CapnMcRummy]

You need to go back and watch from the 70's through the 90's. These little disagreements have nothing on the barneys that happened through those decades 🍻

[@joedont9307]

Love joey johns but it always makes me laugh seeing him get smacked 😂

[@Giveme1goodreason]

I’m a Queenslander but it makes me happy seeing Joey stand up. Sure he gets punished but he stood up. Compare that to the like of Maloney and Thurston, who got real tough when sin bins became mandatory for biffs. Although the goat halfback brawlers are tommy R. And Peter sterling. Who I’ve watched get hit by Greg Dowling in an origin (game 1 or 2 in 87) then sterlo throws a bunch of uppercuts into the jaw of GD and they break up and get on with the game after sterlo sledges him a bunch.

[@Mac-jx8uj]

@@Giveme1goodreason Terry Lamb wasn't shy either , I know he played a lot at 5/8 but think he started at half back with western suburbs , he give it to Michael Speechley one day wreaked him !

[@fatngrey]

Johns didn't get dropped by a king hit. A king hit is when he sneakily done, there was no sneek in that punch, he was just dropped
