(Memories of the
First State of Origin Clash 1980)
From reserve grade to QLD captain. AND he (Arthur
Beetson) lead from the front.
We were standing on the hill at the XXXX brewery end.
Artie came on and the ground trembled under the roar from the
crowd. We had been flogged year in and year out by NSW sides
containing ex pat Qlders and we were dead set filthy. We sensed
it, the crowd sensed it,
the players sensed it....we were seeing something extraordinarily
special and we knew we were about to see probably the greatest
sporting moment in Qld's history.
It was the end of being walloped.
To see Close and Meninga
dominate Rogers
and Cronin
like they did will stay with me forever.
Likewsie Arthur standing up toe to toe with allcomers..what
a night
