QLD STATE OF ORIGIN 1996 RETRO JERSEY
1996 was supposed to be Queensland's year of redemption. They'd dominated NSW the previous season with a stunning 3-0 whitewash, and with Allan Langer leading the side and a full-strength squad back following the Super League war, the Maroons arrived confident.
What followed was one of the most gut-wrenching series in Origin history. Game 3 saw Queensland storm home from 15-2 down, with Mark Coyne somehow conjuring a try after the ball ricocheted off his boot, before Brett Dallas crossed to make it 15-14 only for Brad Fittler's earlier field goal to prove the difference. The Maroons left with nothing but pride and a story they'll tell forever.
For Queensland fans, this jersey isn't about a loss, it's about the fight. It's the jersey of Langer, Coyne, and a team that refused to lie down even when it was too late.
