The Blues
The idea of State of Origin in Australian rugby league was conceived by former New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL) official, Kevin Roberts, in the early 1980s. The concept aimed to create a representative competition that showcased players based on their state of origin rather than club affiliation. The inaugural State of Origin match was played in 1980, leading to its establishment as a key event in the rugby league calendar.

The nickname of New South Wales rugby league teams is "The Blues." This name is used primarily for the New South Wales State of Origin team, which competes against Queensland in the annual State of Origin series. The nickname reflects the team's blue-colored jerseys and is emblematic of their representation of the state in rugby league competitions.
Rugby League changed from the past in term of technology, money and popularity. Today, we can watch rugby league matches from our phone, and state of origin is viewed in 3D. Money, players are increasingly acheiving money, though publicality and popularity of the game is increasing without Australia and worldwide.
