Alfie & The Greatest Origin Comeback

  • Summary

  • After a humiliating defeat in the 2000 State of Origin series, Queensland turned to legendary coach Wayne Bennett to restore state pride. Bennett's bold move to select an entirely new Maroons team paid off with a victory in the opening game of the 2001 series.

    However, the Blues fought back, leveling the series with a dominant performance in game two. With the decider looming, Queensland needed a spark.

    Enter Allan Langer.

    In this episode of Stories of Origin, we revisit the dramatic and unexpected return of Alfie Langer for the 2001 State of Origin.

    Hosted by Nine’s NRL Commentator Mathew Thompson.

    Produced by 9Podcasts & Wide World of Sports.

    Presented in partnership with Youi.
