What Origin Means To: Brett Kimmorley
Jack Brady, NRL.com
If ever there was someone who has been involved with the complete emotional spectrum that State of Origin has to offer, you have to look no further than former New South Wales halfback Brett Kimmorley.
The now 37-year-old Canberra Raiders assistant coach has been through the extreme heights and jubilation of State of Origin. After leading his state to a 3-0 whitewash in his debut series in 2000 – and keeping now immortal Andrew Johns on the bench in the process – Kimmorley will always have good memories to look back on during his time in the sky blue jersey.
However sad it may be though, Kimmorley won’t be remembered for these good times by the majority of those south of the Tweed thanks to a certain intercept pass he threw in Game I, 2005.
