State of Origin is rugby league's toughest arena. It's where the greats are elevated to the status of Immortal, the game's highest individual honour.

In Immortals of State of Origin these two fabled League concepts come together. The book celebrates a dream team of Queenslanders and a supreme side of New South Welshmen, from over four decades of cane toad versus cockroach competition.

Author Liam Hauser delves into the Origin careers of his selections, highlighting each individual's triumphs and heroics. The Immortals of Rugby League is filled with memorable moments, action photographs and Origin career statistics.
