The fans have spoken – but have they nailed it?
Since the first game in 1980, the Greatest Game Of All has taken the action to another level for State of Origin, with a who's who of rugby league greats etching their names in rugby league lore.
So many names. 17 positions a side. How can you split Thurston and The King?
Below, the fans' best 17 for each side - for better or worse.
The WWOS team will announce their all-time NSW team during Origin II and the Queensland team during Origin III.
