Maroon Mentality: The Tragedies, Inspirations & Hidden History Behind Sport's Greatest Gladiators

By Robert H. Burgin

Designed to coincide with the 40th anniversary of State of Origin, Maroon Mentality delves into the childhood factors that helped forge the resolve of all 203 Queensland players to participate in the brutal contest from 1980 to 2019.

Featuring 100+ original interviews, more than 5000 reference materials & extensive background research, there's something uncovered about every player.

This is more than a rugby league book.

It's a book about resilience, leadership, Queensland's history - both proud & shameful - & of young people from all corners of the state, indeed the world, who would stop at nothing to realise their united dream.
