State of Origin Rugby League - The Ultimate

With Origin time still among us, today's post will stay in the tradition of State of Origin Rugby League, true NSW vs Queensland stuff - as we look back upon League players and State of Origin Stars of past years.

We thought it best to rank and give a quick overview of the 5 best State of Origin players of all time. (Proudly supported by NRL News - the Daily Website for Rugby League - www.NRLnews.com)

Best State of Origin Players (NSW and QLD)
1. Wally Lewis (Easy choice, Lewis was the King in Origin - always got the Maroons home)
2. Brett Kenny (Became the NSW version of the king, tough and gutsy always there for NSW)
3. Allan Langer (Close behind the King, little Langer or Alfie or Alf as he was known was brilliant)
4. Mark Geyer (A true NSW enforcer, first man to stand up to the tough Maroons)
5. Andrew Johns (A NSW player of supreme skill and guile, rated best in the world)

Hard to pick the top 5 Origin players, we had to leave out guys like Ben Ellias, Sam Backo, Brad Fittler, Steve Mortimer and Peter Sterling and many, many more.

We'd love to hear your Origin comments, please visit www.NRLnews.com and post your thoughts on the shout box.
