In 1995, the game of Rugby League was at war with itself.
Clubs, officials, players and supporters had turned on each other. Sponsors were walking away, TV Ratings were down, and most importantly the games supporters were disillusioned and disappearing,

The game needed something inspirational to give it a lift.
In short, the game needed a miracle!
That miracle arrived with the 1995 State of Origin Series.
