The first player to be sent off in a State of Origin match was Greg Dowling, who received a red card during the inaugural game in 1980. Dowling was penalized for a high tackle on New South Wales player, and his sending off marked a significant moment in the history of the State of Origin series. The incident highlighted the intense rivalry and physicality characteristic of these matches.
