29 - I Miss You The 2006 State of Origin Series

Well well well, look at all this! It’s another episode of I Miss You Man! With the 2021 Origin series wrapping up, Lonnie has decided to take Dylan back to the good old days of 2006, when Queensland began its rugby league dynasty of domination. It’s okay if you don’t like footy – Dylan certainly doesn’t care much – because Lonnie is here to lay out the sporting narrative of one of the most monumental series of all time. Darren Lockyer, Johnathan Thurston, Mel Meninga, Andrew Johns, Greg Inglis and Brett Finch all get a mention – as well the Queensland team’s outrageous post season celebration. Huge shout out to Michael Adams from the Rugby League Digest who provided us with a much-needed New South Wales perspective. Thanks Michael!
