Last ever City v Country
Gal's final rep game
Now I know the concept is dead and buried, and it stopped being a Origin trial years ago, but I still think the game has a place.
I'd like them resurrect the game, but with teams made up of retired players, both professional and bush footy.
Have them play for Beyond Blue or Black Dog. Gives regional centres a chance to see the game, and gives ex pkayers a chance to pull on the boots again, something that some players need while struggling with retirement and mental health issues.
