The '''1982 State of Origin series''' was the first [[State of Origin series|annual three-match series]] for rugby league between [[New South Wales state rugby league team|New South Wales]] and [[Queensland state rugby league team|Queensland]] to be played entirely under "[[state of origin]]" selection rules. After the matches in [[1980 State of Origin game|1980]] and [[1981 State of Origin game|1981]] that trialed the concept, 'Origin' was fully embraced in 1982, with no matches using the [[Interstate Rugby League in Australia (1908–1981)|previous seventy-four years' residential-based selection rules]] ever played again.
The series came down to the deciding third match, which a mistake-riddled New South Wales lost to a more professional Queensland.<ref>{{cite news

}} New South Wales, captained for the first time by [[Manly Sea Eagles|Manly-Warringah]] hooker [[Max Krilich]] who got the job ahead of [[Parramatta Eels|Parramatta]] lock [[Ray Price (rugby)|Ray Price]], won their first Origin match in game I of the 1982 series at [[Lang Park]]
==Game II==
Line 80 ⟶ 81:
The Queensland plan was to bustle the Blues out of the contest and they were aided in this by Qld referee [[Barry Gomersall]] making his own Origin debut and allowing the Maroons enormous latitude in the tackles.
With Morris leading from the front in a man-of-the-match winning performance, Queensland ground New South Wales out of the contest, scoring three tries to one to win
Queensland's win in game 2 ensured that the third game would also be played under Origin rules. According to some reports, had NSW wrapped up the series in the second game, the third game in Sydney would have reverted to the old State of Residence rules and would most likely have been played at [[Leichhardt Oval]] instead of on the hallowed turf of the [[Sydney Cricket Ground]].
Line 86 ⟶ 87:
==Game III==
The first three-match series came down to a Game III decider to be played at the [[Sydney Cricket Ground]], the first time the Maroons had played at the ground since 1976. The attendance of 20,242 was the largest for an interstate game in Sydney since 1973 when 19,049 saw NSW defeat Qld 26-0 (reports at the time said NSWRL officials would have been happy if they got 20,000 to Origin's first game in Sydney after years of sub 5,000 crowds for interstate games at [[Leichhardt Oval]]). Officiated by a neutral referee – New Zealander Don Wilson, it was the first State of Origin match to be played in Sydney, and for the players, test positions in the [[Australian Kangaroos|Australian team]] for the [[1982 New Zealand rugby league tour of Australia and Papua New Guinea|upcoming series]] against [[New Zealand national rugby league team|New Zealand]] hung in the balance.
