This Queensland team has won 4 series in a row and will go down as one of the greatest teams ever to play State of Origin football. But some have gone so far as to say that they are THE Greatest to ever put on the Maroon jersey. So it got me thinking, is enough respect being paid to the Queensland sides of 1987-1989? The side of 87-89 did not win 4 series in a row, but the Queensland side of 06-09 never won a series 3-0. In the great era of Queensland dominance from 87-89, Queensland only lost 1 game. The Queensland side of 06-09 has lost 1 game in each series.
So BroncoMatt and I have put together the best players from the 2 teams and we want to put it to BHQ once and for all. Which is the better team?
