I’m so blessed to have watched him and what is the greatest team ever assembled in Rugby League history. Queensland won 8 years straight and won 11 years total in 12 years. It all started in 2006 when the ball hit the deck and Darren Lockyer intercepted it for a try just before full time to win the series and broke the hearts of every New South Welshman.
Oh, hell yeah. A glorious, history-making chain of victories made sweeter if you were lucky enough to watch the games in the presence of some of those broken-hearted New South Welshmen!
Just a insider on NRL that the QLD vs NSW sides are representative teams made up of the best players from QLD and the best players from NSW and go head to head in a 3 game series to win what is called State of Origin. Hence Billy Slater and Greg Inglis are seen on the same side, along with other greats like Thurston.
The highlights are from the State of Origin series. It's a three game series played between the two rugby states of Australia which are Queensland in the Maroon jersey and New South Wales in the Blue jersey, and it is played every year. It's like the Allstar game of NRL but with more passion and real rivalry and is the highest level of Rugby league played anywhere in the world.Players are selected based on which state they come from and from in season form hence the series name state of Origin. Greg and Slater are legends in Queensland they are both retired now. They both also played for a while at club level at the Melbourne Storm. Hope this information helps you out thanks for reacting to our game.
@@scottrobinson7360 You're not completely wrong, the big stars were at or started at Melb, but ask Qld and they'll point out it takes the whole team, not just a few stars, to win Origin. Something NSW still struggles to understand.
Hi Guys. I’m a true Born & Bred Queenslander ,& What you have just watched , is undoubtedly the Best team EVER to play this most Wonderful team & community sport period Cheers Tony QLD
G.I the Goanna was his nickname because his try celebration was him crawling like a Goanna also side note he's native Australian which some of the best rugby players are in the world ✊🏽 (Aboriginal)
At the time of QLD dominance, the top 3 players are Darren Lockyer, Cameron Smith, and Jonathan Thurston. Jarryd Hayne was the best player for NSW at that time.
Aborigines (indigenous Australians) have a very long history of thriving in Australia's notoriously-harsh desert environments, where survival can involve travelling long distances for hunting and gathering. The traditional stereotype of the Aboriginal rugby league player is of thin, wiry athletes with great speed, stamina, footwork and reflexes. Greg Inglis broke the stereotype by being a huge, strong and powerful man with all of those other gifts as well. He's a rare beast, Inglis. A man of destiny, and a hero to many.
Aboriginals come in all shapes and sizes depends where you are go into the northern territory where the communities still live off the land they're built like brick shithouses even the woman
You obviously are forgetting some of the best Aboriginal props and forwards who came before him. Lots of great indigenous players of all sizes. Heck even Matty Bowen isn't a small guy....maybe just on tv 😂
@@TheLocalGent Blokes like Mr. Bowen, A. Mundine, N. Blacklock, D. Peachey and the little man GOAT P. Campbell could strap on a cannonball and still not look like Artie Beetson... AND still beat 5 defenders to score you a try with the cannonball to win the game.
@@stevemillar4248 you obviously missed my point brother. Inglis is the first nor the last beast brother of his size....yes for a fullback of course but plenty of great forwards who are Aboriginal aswell as him
@@TheLocalGent You're absolutely right about those forwards (R.I.P. Carl Webb) but not so much with your understanding of the words "traditional stereotype". As for Inglis not being the first or the last, if you don't think the future Immortal was unique in his physicality, then please be my guest and name 3 other Indigenous players with the same physical attributes and stature as the great GI. No hurry - I'll give you 10 years to come up with the 3 names 😝
Billy Slater & Greg Ingliss Came up in the NRL Team Melbourne Storm Together both making names for themselves way back in 2006 - 2012 til Ingliss went to the Rabbitohs whole Billy stayed at the Storms.. Both Representing this Great Australian State of Queensland..
billy slater is the greatest player of all time. Darren Lockyer, Greg inglis, Johnathan Thurston, Cameron smith. are all in the top 10 greatest of all time and also played in the same teams, QLD maroons and the Australian national team. it was an era unrivalled when they all played together.
cameron smith, johnathan thurston, greg inglis, billy slater, cooper cronk. all played for queensland at the same time. they won 8 series straight, 8 years in a row. legendry. smith is the goat of the nrl, hes pretty much the lebron of the nrl without the athleticism or size, thurston is some peoples goats but id say hes like somewhere in the top 5, greg inglis got the best highlights, this vid left out all his club highlights so you havent even seen his best, billy slater is some people goat fullback, coop cronk is clutch and had a great career gotta be soemwhere in top 5 for halfbacks. its so sick to see them all play together, like the dream team in basketball.
GOAT is between Smith and Joey. Smith had the insane field and game control but Joey was an all round amazing player who could turn a game on his own. Only Queenslanders will argue JT was better than Joey and they’re objectively wrong. Joey could defend and was a better in game kicker. Slater the best fullback I’ve ever seen even though he was a grub. GI just a beast. That smith, cronk, slater combo was insane in that era.
Billy and Inglis played many origin games together because Queensland is a representative team made up of the best players who grew up in the state. At club level Greg played for Rabbitohs and Billy played for Storm, but in the early 2000s Inglis actually did play for Storm alongside Billy in his really early career days
I'm a QLD fan from PNG a country north of Australia. GI & Billy Slater are two of Queensland's best players. They are immortals. In my country, violence between fans do occur as a result of these series of games. The State of Origin games is God's greatest creation!💪💪💥
It’s the Queensland state team. Every year they play a three game series against New South Wales call “State of Origin” The team with Inglis, Billy is the greatest Origin team of all time.
This is state of origin, a representative game, where all the players are from their respective state. New South Wales or Queensland. Except all the NSW players are from NSW and QLD players are from anywhere they want. There’s a song about it called “that’s in Queensland”. Even GI in this video is from NSW 😂
This is Queensland v New South Wales in state of origin.bits a 3 series we have every year state against state. So alot of these players are on different club teams. I guess it's like an all stars game in that sense. Inglis and slater played together at club level also during most of these games for Melbourne storm. 2 of the best
One of the reasons why a rugby league player needs to be strong and fast is that unlike the NFL, they're not allowed blockers. So, in essence, they're using their speed/weight and strength to function as a blocker as it were, to get an advantage over the defence :)
NRL more than any other type of football requires the stamina to absorb endless physical punishment. Offense, defence, no blockers, constant movement. Literally nowhere to hide in an NRL field.
State of Origin is like Pro bowl. It is run between Queensland Rugby League and New South Wales Rugby League with eligibility rules and Greg Inglis is the reason they added eligibility rules in state of origin.
Inglis and slate played club together for a few years, with also smith and Cronk in that team. Greg moved to another team pretty decently early on though.
My best team from this amazing of state of origin era of State of Origin dominance, I'll put this team up against any Blues team of the same era: 1. Billy Slater 2. Darius Boyd 3. Greg Inglis 4 Justin Hodges 5. Jharal Yow Yeh 6. Darren Lockyer 7. Jonathan Thurston 8. Matthew Scott 9. Cameron Smith 10. Petero Cevoniceva 11. Ashley Harrison 12. Sam Thaiday 13. Corey Parker Greg Inglis was a special once in a generation player and he was amazing to watch. You could put him in any position and not worry about his output. Darren Lockyer was my favourite player in this team growing up however a healthy and hungry Inglis was near unstoppable.
You have to watch his Rabbitohs highlights. Greg’s a machine! There’ll never be another GI. Such a threat. As a person born in NSW you just can’t say that we had a chance when he was on the QLD side, those years belonged to that squad, they just destroyed us for like 3 or 4 years in a row 😢 But please, do a reaction video to his non State of Origin highlights. You won’t regret it!
Brother …if you ask Papua New Guineans 🇵🇬 ….they will insist …this 👆version of rugby… is indeed played in heaven,😅… AND…. on certain occasions….us mortal beings get treated to a marvel …perhaps like an angel incarnate … in the form of GI….and the choir that is the mighty Queensland Maroons ….play this 9 year symphony of total dominance…Ah…best years north of the Straits for sure brother👏
The QLD Maroons & the NSW Blues are the two State Teams that go head to head in a 3 series test. Slater and GI are from the QLD state. ( Queenlanders) They are both now retired.
It’s the state of origin games where the best players in the NRL who are from New South Wales and Queensland are selected to represent their state kind of like the east vs west all star game in the NBA except it’s competitive as hell unlike the all star game nowadays because the nba all star game is nothing more than a joke!
Greg Inglis & Billy Slater playing for their state Queensland in representative footy but they also spent 7 or 8 seasons playing together for the Melbourne Storm in regular club footy & won premierships together .
9:47 that little crawl he does is called “the goanna” which I believe but may be wrong here is the animal emblem of his aboriginal tribe, and he only ever did it when knew the game was won, that night in this video Queensland was so dominant that less than halfway through the game he was doing it.
Wait till you find out about Billy Slater and Greg Inglis' other teammates; Jonathan Thurston, Darren Lockyer, Cooper Cronk, and the G.O.A.T. Cameron Smith. 😂👍Queensland Maroons were stacked af in that era.
Inglis and Slater were the finishers, but the team was a cheatcode because of Jonathon Thurston and Cameron Smith. They were the brains of this team. Thurston was the Tom Brady of this team.
They were a cheat code. Bro Gi was the man aye. In that team they won 8 series in a row. They were unstoppable. The best players in order is hard because of there age differences. But during that 8 year period I’d say 1. Greg Inglis 2. Jonathan Thurston 3.Darren Lockyer 4.Billy Slater 5.Cameron Smith
State of origin is kinda pro bowl but serious. It's the best players from their area vs the best from the other area. Queensland vs New South Wales. Only the best get picked at that level. During the time of Greg, Billy and a a bunch of other guys Queensland won 11 out of 12 series which is a record that may never be broken. They were that good bro✌
I don't think you could recieve a definite top3 answer for this team. It was a once in a generation team, the only answer you could really get are top 3 favourite players in that team. They all worked together beautifully.
6:19 “let me know who are the top 3 players in this team” during this time G.I was probably 4th, 5th or even 6th depending on who you prefer honestly! Smith, Thurston, Cronk, Slater and Lockyer were all mega stars during their time to!!
Top 3 is probably Johnathan Thurston who you hear a lot, Cameron Smith is probably up there as well and then third would be either Billy or Inglis. This team won 8 origins in a row and has got to be the best state of origin side of all time.
All the players on those 2 teams are the best players from those 2 states NSW and QLD but if you wanted the 3 too dogs in that QLD side at the time would be Thurston, Inglis, and slater but the whole team was unstoppable in them days
This qld team from 2005-2013 won every year. Most of the Australian international side was made up of the same players. Darren Lockyer, Jonathan Thurston, Billy Slater, Greg Inglis, cooper Cronk, Cameron Smith, Darius Boyd and Israel Folau. All some of the best players to play the game.
So the team you're watching here is the Queensland State of Origin team that achieved Eight Straight...... meaning they won the series eight years straight. You asked for the top three players.... well, that's damn near impossible JT (Jonathan Thurston), one of the best the game had produced Valentine Holmes, Cameron Smith, and Darren Lockyer. The State of Origin is played once a year and is only three games..... the only participants are Queensland and New South Wales, and it started in 1980..... it doesn't matter who you play club footy for each week is about your State of "Origin" so only those from Queensland or New South Wales can participate. If you view clips from any of the players I've mentioned, then you won't be disappointed they were all greats of the game. State of Origin is the pinnacle most players strive to achieve. Hope this helps a little.
@@craigroyle860 he grew up and played in NSW until he moved to Queensland when he was 18. The rule is now where you played your junior football…..he played his in Bowraville NSW.
@@craigroyle860 he was eligible for NSW based off playing his full junior football in NSW. He only played in QLD cos he was signed by the Melbourne Storm and their feeder club was a QLD cup based team and because he played there at 18 he was also eligible to play for QLD. He played and lived in NSW more than QLD. He was born in NSW. He is a state traitor no matter how you try to swing it.
They state against state mate against mate. All through the year some these people play for the same club. It comes down to where you played you first game of football that's the side you play on
No Steroids or any drugs in this sport. Everyone is 100 percent çlean. Billy Slater and Greg Inglis playéd for different clubs in the NRL (National Rugby League ,) competition. Every year we have the State of Origin competition, between Queensland in maroon and New South Wales in blue. It's magical and as a Queenslander, we were pretty unbeatable for over 10 or more years.
Hey nice reaction brah. NRL(Natiaonl Rugby League) is so much better live. There are sights and sounds that occur that the TV wont air or is able to catch live. Highly recommend if you can at least once in your life to see a live match. Try get to las vegas if you can afford to make the trip for the annual NRL tour. It happens only once per year in las vegas and for the next 4 years only. 2024 was the 1st year. So thats the opening Round 1 match, once a year, in las vegas, until 2029. Next year is going to be a different set of NRL teams going to las vegas and possibiliy a womens NRL match happening over one evening. So within the space of 3 hours. So you will get to see 2 NRL matchs and one NRLW match, all back to back. Thats 3 games. It goes fast. Plus unlike NFL, unless theres a major injury or some other random phenomenon, NRL dont have huge breaks between sets. Its just continuos.
This just some of G.I's Queensland state of origin highlights. State of origin is the best of the best,mate against mate,state against state. Much like a all-star/Pro bowl game only it's a best of 3 annual series on the NRL calendar & all player's involved would die for their state.You need to checkout at least one of Greg's many club or career highlights video compilations.The dude was a legit cheat code. Greg played with Billy at the beginning of his career on the Melbourne Storm & Obviously as you just seen with Queensland.
It's STATE V'S STATE QUEENSLAND V'S NEW SOUTH WALES.. Player's are selected from different teams (Club Level) To play for the State Of Origin! 😁 And you Have To be Born in That State to represent your State. Like On you birth certificate. 😁💪🏾 There's only 3 Games held to win the State Of Origin Shield 🛡️ best Two games out of 3 Wins. The Game will be in May this year bro 😁💪🏾🙏🏾
There wasn’t a top 3. For most of GI’s run he had Cameron smith, Billy slater, Jonathon Thurston and cooper Cronk. He also had Darren Lockyer Justin Hodges, Israel folou, petro civaniciva and Karmichael hunt. Most of these guys are in the top 10 to ever play in their position. At least 6 are in the 3 in their position and Lockyer, Thurston and smith are top 5 all time in all positions.
Top three, more like top 10 players. Players to check out from this team are. Johnathan Thurston Cameron Smith Cooper Cronk Darren Lockyer Just to name a few. Johnathan Thurston probably the best.
Yep they both on the same team Queensland Maroons. And they both retired. BILLY is now the Queensland Maroons Head Coach and he is too good to be a Qld Coach.
Your watching state of origin. Which is like your pro bowl. You need too watch the games live. The video doesn't do the actual plays much justice. Live it's unreal the speed of some of these guys. But Greg and Billy also played together on a club level for Melbourne storm.
I LOVE NFL. But its less a sport than it is a game. Think muscular chess with a bit of running thrown in. I mean even the off season is gamified through the draft and free-agency (amongst other things). But NRL is non-stop, relentless, hit after hit, run after run. They're nothing short of peak physical fitness. GoBills!
This is pure Australian indigenous athleticism.... 💪🏾
Damn straight. Just built different
Oath !
His regular season game highlights are even crazier 😅

Both Representing this Great Australian State of Queensland..
billy slater is the greatest player of all time. Darren Lockyer, Greg inglis, Johnathan Thurston, Cameron smith. are all in the top 10 greatest of all time and also played in the same teams, QLD maroons and the Australian national team. it was an era unrivalled when they all played together.
Gi, Slater, smith, Thurston, Locky,, the list goes on,, Qld greatest sport team ever
cameron smith, johnathan thurston, greg inglis, billy slater, cooper cronk. all played for queensland at the same time. they won 8 series straight, 8 years in a row. legendry. smith is the goat of the nrl, hes pretty much the lebron of the nrl without the athleticism or size, thurston is some peoples goats but id say hes like somewhere in the top 5, greg inglis got the best highlights, this vid left out all his club highlights so you havent even seen his best, billy slater is some people goat fullback, coop cronk is clutch and had a great career gotta be soemwhere in top 5 for halfbacks. its so sick to see them all play together, like the dream team in basketball.

Slater the best fullback I’ve ever seen even though he was a grub.
GI just a beast.
That smith, cronk, slater combo was insane in that era.
@@thelandlord111 I’m going off on who won more. I think judging off of their game is too subjective
Smith, cronk, Thurston, slater. Probably the best spine ever assembled on a football field.
You should check out Matt Bowen highlights he a good player

GI is the best New South Welshman to ever play for QLD lol 😂😢
I'm NSW through and through, but I still loved GI.
It’s the Queensland state team. Every year they play a three game series against New South Wales call “State of Origin”
The team with Inglis, Billy is the greatest Origin team of all time.
This is state of origin, a representative game, where all the players are from their respective state. New South Wales or Queensland. Except all the NSW players are from NSW and QLD players are from anywhere they want.
There’s a song about it called “that’s in Queensland”.
Even GI in this video is from NSW 😂
Gotta do the rest of the big 5. Smith, Lockyer, Slater, Inglis and Thurston. Those were the days ❤
This is Queensland v New South Wales in state of origin.bits a 3 series we have every year state against state. So alot of these players are on different club teams. I guess it's like an all stars game in that sense.
Inglis and slater played together at club level also during most of these games for Melbourne storm. 2 of the best

7. Jonathan Thurston

Greg Inglis was a special once in a generation player and he was amazing to watch. You could put him in any position and not worry about his output.
Darren Lockyer was my favourite player in this team growing up however a healthy and hungry Inglis was near unstoppable.
You have to watch his Rabbitohs highlights. Greg’s a machine! There’ll never be another GI. Such a threat.
As a person born in NSW you just can’t say that we had a chance when he was on the QLD side, those years belonged to that squad, they just destroyed us for like 3 or 4 years in a row 😢
But please, do a reaction video to his non State of Origin highlights. You won’t regret it!

Welcome to the light bro
The QLD Maroons & the NSW Blues are the two State Teams that go head to head in a 3 series test. Slater and GI are from the QLD state. ( Queenlanders) They are both now retired.
The only thing I would like to see added to these origin highlights is when GI uses the first tackler like a front end loader continuing forward!!!
That man was a fucking cheat code 🐐
Great to watch
It’s the state of origin games where the best players in the NRL who are from New South Wales and Queensland are selected to represent their state kind of like the east vs west all star game in the NBA except it’s competitive as hell unlike the all star game nowadays because the nba all star game is nothing more than a joke!
Greg also played for storm in 2006
Bro you should’ve seen the Melbourne storms team back in the day one of the most dominating teams of all time
Greg Inglis & Billy Slater playing for their state Queensland in representative footy but they also spent 7 or 8 seasons playing together for the Melbourne Storm in regular club footy & won premierships together .
As a nsw fan. This hurts so much

As qldr you have my respect I was there when yous used to give us hidings all the time back when Andrew johnny John’s was carving up
Yes greg and jt are on the same team
They were a cheat code. Bro Gi was the man aye.
In that team they won 8 series in a row. They were unstoppable. The best players in order is hard because of there age differences. But during that 8 year period I’d say
1. Greg Inglis
2. Jonathan Thurston
3.Darren Lockyer
4.Billy Slater
5.Cameron Smith
it’s equivalent to East v West in the NBA best of the best from each state
Inglis should be playing for the Blues! He was born in New South Wales not Queensland!
State of origin is kinda pro bowl but serious. It's the best players from their area vs the best from the other area. Queensland vs New South Wales. Only the best get picked at that level. During the time of Greg, Billy and a a bunch of other guys Queensland won 11 out of 12 series which is a record that may never be broken. They were that good bro✌
I don't think you could recieve a definite top3 answer for this team. It was a once in a generation team, the only answer you could really get are top 3 favourite players in that team. They all worked together beautifully.
Top 5 players on the Queensland Team is, Greg Inglis, Jonathan Thurston, Cameron Smith, Billy Slater & Cooper Cronk 💯🔥

6:19 “let me know who are the top 3 players in this team” during this time G.I was probably 4th, 5th or even 6th depending on who you prefer honestly! Smith, Thurston, Cronk, Slater and Lockyer were all mega stars during their time to!!
Top 3 is probably Johnathan Thurston who you hear a lot, Cameron Smith is probably up there as well and then third would be either Billy or Inglis. This team won 8 origins in a row and has got to be the best state of origin side of all time.
All the players on those 2 teams are the best players from those 2 states NSW and QLD but if you wanted the 3 too dogs in that QLD side at the time would be Thurston, Inglis, and slater but the whole team was unstoppable in them days
billy, greg, and johnathan
i miss those days Gi and slater Queensland Origin
Born in NSW!
This qld team from 2005-2013 won every year. Most of the Australian international side was made up of the same players. Darren Lockyer, Jonathan Thurston, Billy Slater, Greg Inglis, cooper Cronk, Cameron Smith, Darius Boyd and Israel Folau. All some of the best players to play the game.
Thanks bro
Eight Straight started with the first win in 2006 to 2013..... you're a year out. ❤
Thank you for mentioning Folau he truly doesn’t get the respect he deserves smh 🤦🏾♂️
So the team you're watching here is the Queensland State of Origin team that achieved Eight Straight...... meaning they won the series eight years straight. You asked for the top three players.... well, that's damn near impossible JT (Jonathan Thurston), one of the best the game had produced Valentine Holmes, Cameron Smith, and Darren Lockyer. The State of Origin is played once a year and is only three games..... the only participants are Queensland and New South Wales, and it started in 1980..... it doesn't matter who you play club footy for each week is about your State of "Origin" so only those from Queensland or New South Wales can participate. If you view clips from any of the players I've mentioned, then you won't be disappointed they were all greats of the game. State of Origin is the pinnacle most players strive to achieve. Hope this helps a little.
Fun fact he was born and raised in Bowraville NSW…….yet he played for QLD. State traitor but one of the greatest players to ever play.
That's not the rule
@@craigroyle860 he grew up and played in NSW until he moved to Queensland when he was 18. The rule is now where you played your junior football…..he played his in Bowraville NSW.
@@craigroyle860 he was eligible for NSW based off playing his full junior football in NSW. He only played in QLD cos he was signed by the Melbourne Storm and their feeder club was a QLD cup based team and because he played there at 18 he was also eligible to play for QLD.
He played and lived in NSW more than QLD. He was born in NSW. He is a state traitor no matter how you try to swing it.
They state against state mate against mate. All through the year some these people play for the same club. It comes down to where you played you first game of football that's the side you play on
No Steroids or any drugs in this sport. Everyone is 100 percent çlean. Billy Slater and Greg Inglis playéd for different clubs in the NRL (National Rugby League ,) competition. Every year we have the State of Origin competition, between Queensland in maroon and New South Wales in blue. It's magical and as a Queenslander, we were pretty unbeatable for over 10 or more years.
Jonathan Thurston👑Greg Inglis👑Billy Slater
Hey nice reaction brah.
NRL(Natiaonl Rugby League) is so much better live. There are sights and sounds that occur that the TV wont air or is able to catch live.
Highly recommend if you can at least once in your life to see a live match.
Try get to las vegas if you can afford to make the trip for the annual NRL tour. It happens only once per year in las vegas and for the next 4 years only. 2024 was the 1st year. So thats the opening Round 1 match, once a year, in las vegas, until 2029.
Next year is going to be a different set of NRL teams going to las vegas and possibiliy a womens NRL match happening over one evening. So within the space of 3 hours. So you will get to see 2 NRL matchs and one NRLW match, all back to back. Thats 3 games. It goes fast. Plus unlike NFL, unless theres a major injury or some other random phenomenon, NRL dont have huge breaks between sets. Its just continuos.
Check out the highlights of Jarryd Haynes.
JT, GI, Billy, Cam Smith....
This just some of G.I's Queensland state of origin highlights. State of origin is the best of the best,mate against mate,state against state. Much like a all-star/Pro bowl game only it's a best of 3 annual series on the NRL calendar & all player's involved would die for their state.You need to checkout at least one of Greg's many club or career highlights video compilations.The dude was a legit cheat code. Greg played with Billy at the beginning of his career on the Melbourne Storm & Obviously as you just seen with Queensland.
His ancestors hunted the kangaroo and the emu (the meat that makes men strong) for 40,000 years.
Check out Jonathan Thurston as well too
It's STATE V'S STATE
QUEENSLAND V'S NEW SOUTH WALES..
Player's are selected from different teams (Club Level)
To play for the State Of Origin! 😁
And you Have To be Born in That State to represent your State.
Like On you birth certificate. 😁💪🏾
There's only 3 Games held to win the State Of Origin Shield 🛡️ best Two games out of 3 Wins.
The Game will be in May this year bro 😁💪🏾🙏🏾
You need to check out Jonathan Thurston and Darren Lockyer.
It is a crime for Greg Inglis and Billy Slater to be on a team together because they were on my team the Melbourne Storm
Impossible to pick the best 3 in this team....the team was the best.
GI, slater and Johnathan Thurston
17 x Greg Inglis beats 17 x anyone else
There wasn’t a top 3. For most of GI’s run he had Cameron smith, Billy slater, Jonathon Thurston and cooper Cronk. He also had Darren Lockyer Justin Hodges, Israel folou, petro civaniciva and Karmichael hunt. Most of these guys are in the top 10 to ever play in their position. At least 6 are in the 3 in their position and Lockyer, Thurston and smith are top 5 all time in all positions.
Top three, more like top 10 players.
Players to check out from this team are.
Johnathan Thurston
Cameron Smith
Cooper Cronk
Darren Lockyer
Just to name a few.
Johnathan Thurston probably the best.
yo should watch Greg Inglis bit hits
You need to do a Review on Steve The Hitman Matai.
React to Jason Taumalolo,Johnathan Thurston,Shaun Johnson,RTS so many players past and present ! State of Origin would be a good reaction !
Should checkout Latrell Mitchell called Latrell crazy year he's like a Greg Inglis clone..
No he isn't. Latrell has a long way to go to be in that conversation.
Greg Inglis actually scored the greatest try of all time for the Rabbitohs. Link below:
ua-cam.com/video/nW8GJg6RQVU/v-deo.html
Yep they both on the same team Queensland Maroons. And they both retired. BILLY is now the Queensland Maroons Head Coach and he is too good to be a Qld Coach.
Should watch some Reese walsh highlights
Your watching state of origin. Which is like your pro bowl. You need too watch the games live. The video doesn't do the actual plays much justice. Live it's unreal the speed of some of these guys. But Greg and Billy also played together on a club level for Melbourne storm.
No Drugs here Mate just a lot and lot's of Training and of course Spirit Queensland Spirit. Sorry N S W
We all know NSW are a really sorry bunch 😂😂😂
I LOVE NFL. But its less a sport than it is a game. Think muscular chess with a bit of running thrown in. I mean even the off season is gamified through the draft and free-agency (amongst other things). But NRL is non-stop, relentless, hit after hit, run after run. They're nothing short of peak physical fitness. GoBills!
