Willie Mason

Well, we thought that he wasn't even going to play.

And then if he plays, you know, because that's how important origin is, man.

Do you know what I mean?

And at the end of the day, when you retire and everything like that, you're like, you leave off like, you know, when you all sit around the same table now and you're like people like, you know, some of these Queenslanders, right, who got those eight series in a row, they racked up like 30 origins, 28 origins, 20-something origins, where like our era, we're like 10 to 20 max.

You know what I mean?

You know, like you're sitting there and I'll probably miss like six or legit like probably six or seven through injury.

And it's like, it's fucked.

So on your resume now, I'll get a 20-something, but I've got like 13.

So people think I played like 20-something origins because I was in my peak around then.

But I'm like, no, I missed about two or three years in that stage with a knee injury, a foot injury, all that sort of shit.

And it hurts.

It doesn't hurt.

But it's like when you're bragging rights, right, when you're fucking sitting there.

And like, but it's your moments in that origin.

No.

Because that's what you do in origin.

You get 30 and no one gives a fuck.

You know what I mean?

Or 20 or 10 or 15.

If that makes sense.
