Matthew Johns has recognized Queensland captain Cameron Munster as one of the five greatest players in State of Origin history following his leadership in Game 2 against the NSW Blues, which secured a victory for the Maroons.
This win was crucial in keeping their series hopes alive as they prepare for the third game in Sydney, seeking to reclaim the shield after two consecutive losses in 2024.
Munster, who debuted in 2017, has become a key player in Queensland's halves, participating in 20 Origin matches and contributing to multiple series victories.
His skills and performance have earned him praise, leading to his inclusion in Johns' elite list of all-time Origin players.
Alongside Munster, the list includes legends like Cameron Smith and Wally Lewis.
Johns also mentioned that the remaining spots in the top five could feature either Andrew Johns, Bradley Clyde, Brett Kenny, or Laurie Daley, all notable names who made significant contributions to New South Wales rugby league.
