Interstate Origin (Men)

In 1982, after single matches in 1980 and 1981,
interstate series' between New South Wales and
Queensland were contested by selecting teams based
on the state where they played the majority of their
football in their junior years. These are the men who
played State of Origin whilst playing at the Roosters.
