Fans of National Rugby League across the nation watched in
fascination as Queensland, with it's mix of top players from across
NRL, overran NSW for 8 long years of the Origin series-an
achievement that will probably never be repeated. Game by game The
Streak breaks down the reasons why Queensland dominated for so
long. Paul Connolly examines Mal Meninga's coaching contribution
and how NSW failed to outgun him. It looks at the line up of top
players, that included the cream of rugby league: Billy Slater,
Cooper Crank, Greg Inglis, Jonathan Thurston, Steve Price, Steve
Thaiday, Israel Falou and all the others. It also picks over the
controversies and turning points that made the series so memorable.
Queensland dominated for nearly a decade and NSW came agonisingly
close many times. But the crown stayed with the Maroons for 8 long
years. An in-depth, vividly illustrated exploration of the How and
Why behind Queensland's winning streak, The Streak will delight
fans of NRL Australia-wide.
