Ebook: Greats of Origin

Only now it has become Australia's premier sporting event, attracting a huge television audience and constantly sells out the stadium. Cadigan interviews the highest profile players of the game, including Allan Langer, Mal Meninga, Wally Lewis, Andrew Johns, Ricky Stuart, Phil Gould, Wayne Bennett and Steve Mortimer amongst others, discovering what Origin means to them, how it has changed from 'their day' and what they think of their old foes.;Greats of Origin : Blues legends on the toughest footy known to man -- Greats of Origin : Maroons legends on the toughest footy known to man.
