Arthur Beetson's legacy in rugby league endures 45 years after he led Queensland to a historic victory.

This legacy is embodied by teenage medical student Ziggy Pidgeon, who played for the Queensland Murri Under 16s team in last year's Interstate Challenge against NSW Koori.

Pidgeon, from Cherbourg like Broncos star Selwyn Cobbo, has also made a name for himself academically, being named Dux of the Year at Murgon State High School while excelling in rugby league.
