Message: [QUOTE="Astroboy, post: 2217289, member: 1994"] So many great players to choose from! But for the sheer impact on results factor (I've heard it said the 80's tally would have been reversed had he been on the other side) it has to be THE KING. If one is old enough, one only has to remember how everyone said when he retired "he IS State of Origin - it will never be the same without him". Alfie - close second - due to his genius, longevity, ability to pluck victory from the jaws of defeat in the closing minutes, and utter personification of the pride of Qld. And of course coming back from England to cut the Blues to shreds in 01 when we had no-one else. Too many names to mention - close third. One of those is Price. Another is Civo. Another is Meninga. Another is Lockyer. Another is Thurston. Another is Belcher. Another is Miles. Another is Willie Carne. And the pick of the recent additions is Inglis - for consistently scoring 1 or 2 tries per game - amazing scoring rate. So many other champions. I admire Tallis greatly for his passion, but not so much for being involved in so many losses. Not that he was really responsible for that. Webcke did a great job up front APART FROM his predictable tendency to come up with 1 or 2 knock-ons in every game. [/QUOTE]
