In the 45th year of rugby league’s fiercest rivalry, Stories of Origin is back with its most emotional season yet - Magic Moments: As Voted By You, thanks to TAB. Across six epic episodes, fans chose the plays that made them shout, cry and believe again, and the legends who lived them tell every raw detail.

We kick off where Origin itself began: Arthur Beetson’s thunderous return to Lang Park in 1980. A weary warrior summoned home, Beetson strapped on the captain’s armband and, in eighty unforgettable minutes, turned a fledgling concept into the greatest spectacle in Australian sport. Hear rare archival audio, inside-the-sheds reflections, and fresh insight from Wally Lewis, Phil Gould, Roy Masters and more as they relive the night one man’s pride and power put State of Origin on the map. Narrated by Mathew Thompson.

Game 1 of the 2025 State of Origin series is live and exclusive on Nine & 9Now, Wednesday 28 May.

Gus weighs in on the Lachlan Galvin bombshell. He questions the motive behind the decision, the timing, and the role of player managers in today’s game. “It’s untenable,” he says. “It’s not going to last.” With strong words for the Tigers’ reaction and real concern for Galvin’s welfare, Gus doesn’t hold back.
