Summary

Sky Blue Blood: NSW’s State of Origin Heroes

The Blues tells the back stories of the 300-plus New South Welshmen who have contested the legendary State of Origin series.

This is more than a rugby league book. It’s a book about the children of immigrants, military personnel, farmers, and factory workers. It’s the story of indigenous kids and boys from the bush who were told they were not good enough, and the story of those seemingly always destined for greatness.
