Proper True Yarn
Still Wearing Boots at 1am – Life After Origin
Ep. 315
•
Jarrod Wallace is back with more cracking yarns from his Origin days—this time unpacking what it’s like after the final whistle. From rolling straight into Titans duty with adrenaline still pumping, to wild celebrations that saw Cam Smith still in full kit at 1am, Wallace gives us the raw insight few get to hear.
He talks the pressure of representing Queensland, playing alongside legends like JT and GI, and what Origin means to those lucky enough to wear maroon. This one dives deep into the heart of State of Origin footy—equal parts hilarious, nostalgic, and full of pride.
