		Queensland's success in rugby league was largely due to the non-existence of rugby union in the 1920s.
		It is a little known fact that the rival rugby code folded during World War I and failed to rematerialise in Queensland until the 1930s, thus providing a platform for growth for rugby league in the sunshine state.
		It is now history that since the 1960s the QRL have fought to have home grown players represent their state, and this ideal was finally realised with the introduction of the State of Origin series in 1980.
