They got a story out there through the media, through a little bloke that's sitting here.

That's you, not me.

It was called Teflon Bill.

Mate, I'm telling you now, Billy was filthy at that at the time.

Yeah.

Filthy at that at the time.

So he can be rattled, but New South Wales hasn't managed to do it.

And this might have been at the time when Neil was still an assistant coach at the Cowboys before he'd even become a head coach.

I think it put Neil on the map, to be honest.

But this goes on quite a bit.

You think of another one.

I'm just off the top of my head.

Was it the 2006 series that started the great Queensland run?

Yep.

And it was game two and they'd lost, was it lost to the previous?

And Mal had come out and spoken about the fact that Origin could be dead if Queensland keep losing.

And that was also the time.

But it was also, that was also the time where Mel, I think the guys that he'd pulled into the room, Lockie, his career, origin career was on the ropes.

Sivinus Siva.
