This would make a good recruitment poster to get more kids to play rugby league

Yeah I don't remember the game much at the time but recall seeing images on Ch 7 sports show of Benny Elias with blood on his face.

Years later I realised what it meant. It captured what Origin is about.

A head knock with blood coming down wasn't going to stop Elias.

That game is one of the most significant games in Origin history in my opinion. The first post Wally match, first game with Daley as captain, first game with Gould in charge, the start of a very dominant NSW period capped of with Benny's inspirational performance.
I vaguely remember Daley knocked himself out. I remember an ad around the time with him in it saying he would rather put himself in a coma for NSW than lose. Imagine that these days.

Yeah that rings a bell... I have this recollection it might have been a missed shot at penalty goal by NSW and Trevor Gilmeister was in possession of the ball and coming out of the QLD in goal. Daley launched himself at him trying get him trapped in goal but knocked himself the f**k out... Probably completely wrong but that's the play that came to mind...

It was Peter Jackson but the rest of your recollection is spot on. The amount of players going of injured in that game is insane.
