This thread is different to the 'Favorite Player' thread- this thread is about your favorite players in State of Origin, guys who you might not neccessarily like during the regular season or even hate, but when they pull on your state colours you love them.

Willie (you just gotta love him in a sky blue)
Gower (indifferent to him usually but embodies the toughness of Origin)
Gasnier (dont really like him, but i'm glad his a blue rather than a maroon)

Anthony Minichello- Most of the year I would boo the Count, but when he runs out for NSW I cheer hard for him. He is a kick-arse player at Origin level and the best fullback running round in Australia. Whenever he gets the ball you know you are about to see something great. The only reason I don't get 'MINICHELLO' and the number 1 on the back of my Blues jersey is that people might think I am a Roosters fan!

Brett Finch- He is a useless, whingeing, untalented gimp. But every time he has played for the Blues, more often than not he has played wonderfully, and who could forget Game 1 last year? If he could only pick up his form the rest of the year....

Cameron Smith-Overall would have to be one of the nicest guys in the NRL,and he's just so proud to be a Queenslander and such a good sport as well.
Brent Tate-I know a lot of people don't like him but he's always been really good for Queensland and Australia for that matter.

Justin Hodges - Still have good memories of him repeatedly butchering everything he touched for the Maroons :D

For me its Shrek, I love the pride and aggression he brings to the game, he plays origin the way it should be played "hard".

Carl Webb (surprise) - Big angry bastard who would die for his state. His passion absolutly bubbles over when he runs out onto the field. Tattood "124" on his neck and shaved a "Q" into the side of his head, whats not to love?

Gordon Tallis - His passion for the jersey was clear, and Brett Hodgeson still has nightmares about him.

Matt Bowen - Could always pull something out of his ass even with the limited time he was given on the field, i dont think theres another fullback in the league that would have backed themself to take that intercept from Kimmorely, he has the guts to step up and make something special happen.

Darren Lockyer - Best player in the world and captain of my state, enough said.

Jonathon Thurston - Busts his guts for QLD and has excelled from what he was only a few seasons ago, long future ahead of him.

Steve Price - Superman, the body might not be as willing as it once was but come origin time id still stay the f**k out of his way.

Danny Nutley - Only given the one chance in origin but gees he left nothing in the tank, absolutly wrecked himself out there and showed so much heart, shame the rest of our team that night werent doing the same. Definatly not the most gifted player but what he lacks in skill he more than made up for with effort and thats all you can ask for.
