Six Tackles With Gus

Between 2006 and 2013, Queensland enjoyed the greatest winning stretch Origin has ever seen.

They won 11 of 12 series - including eight in a row from 2006.

But it was a dynasty that almost didn’t happen. And had it gone the other way, some of the state's greatest players may have suffered a premature end to their time in Maroon.

This is the story of The Dynasty featuring Darren Lockyer, Greg Inglis, Cameron Smith and Paul Gallen.

Welcome to Stories of Origin, a podcast series that explores the rich history of NSW V QLD in the words of the warriors themselves.

We start our series at the beginning of the modern origin format. The birth of Origin. 

In 1980, The Queenslander’s were sick of New South Wales stealing their players so they got them back for a one-off game in 1980. 42 years later, it’s never been bigger!

You’ll hear from The King - Wally Lewis, Paul Vautin and passionate Queenslander Chris Close. They talk about the passion instilled in the Maroons jersey and the growth of the interstate battle to the juggernaut it is today.
