I want to have a lady.

I'm 20.

And the boys go, let's go get jeans on now.

It's time to go out and have a beer together.

And then I thought, oh, God, that was a big day.

Well, there was like four of them.

There was four in a row.

We'd go do 4X promotions and go to local pubs.

But part of that was cool because you'd go and see the public.

Yeah.

And it's Queensland's team.

So you'd go.

into the heart of Ipswich or wherever, Logan, and you're walking into a pub as a State of Origin player and you're walking around with a jug and giving a couple of blokes a free beer.

It was great times and those guys don't get to witness it and all they talk about is Caxton Street now, but I had probably the 80s preparation, which I loved because they were all my heroes.

You say, mate, what are you doing?

I said, I'm buying a beer.

He goes, no, no, no.

Well, there's one team block.

Well, don't forget the first ever team that come out was Queensland, State of Origin in 1980.

Broncos come out after it, Cowboys, Titans and Dolphins come out after it.
