58. State Of Origin | Tim Grant & Brett Kimmorley | The Decider
Description
This week’s episode of Behind The Roar is a special State of Origin preview as we count down to Wednesday’s series decider at Suncorp Stadium.
We chat to a couple of fellas who know a thing or two about Origin deciders at Suncorp having experienced all that the Queensland cauldron has to offer.
We are joined by Wests Tigers current NRLW Coach Brett Kimmorley, who played 10 Origins for NSW over a ten-year period, and current Head of Wellbeing, Tim Grant.
Noddy talks about his highs and lows in Origin, including a victorious clean sweep in his debut series, and that costly, ill directed cut-out pass in game one, 2005.
Grant was a part of the NSW team that headed to Suncorp for the 2012 series decider, after making his Origin debut just a few weeks earlier. He talks about the hostility of the Queensland crowd and the star-studded lineup he faced that night which included the likes of Inglis, Smith, Cronk and Thurston.
Both give their views on the series so far, the changes made to each team, and how the game will unfold.
In a special edition of Behind The Roar, Wests Tigers CEO Shane Richardson sets the record straight about some key issues at the club ahead of Friday’s sold-out match against the Eels at Campbelltown.
