With the Super League war ruling out most of their star players, coach Paul Vautin assembled a passionate and largely unheralded group of players who went on to defy the odds and etch their names into Origin folklore.In Part 1, the panel relives:The shock of being selected amid the Super League chaosThe build-up to Game I and that 2–0 defensive masterclassThe “Queenslander” war cry echoing through the SFS tunnelThe brutal opening scrum and brawls of Game II at the MCGRaw, honest, and filled with legendary stories — this is Origin nostalgia at its best.#FOGS #QLDER #FOGSQueenslander #Podcast #1995Origin #Queenslander #TrevorGillmeister #BillyMoore #BenIkin #StateOfOrigin #MarkBraybrook #QueenslandMaroons #FattysNevilleNobodies #OriginHistory
