  • Fatty’s Miracle: 30 Years Since Queensland’s Greatest Origin Upset
    Jul 8 2025

    No one expected them to win. Facing a New South Wales side stacked with international stars, the Maroons were written off before a ball was kicked.

    But what happened next became legend. Three decades on, Stories of Origin revisits the year Fatty’s Neville nobodies delivered a clean sweep and redefined what it means to wear Maroon.
