Season 5 of Stories of Origin is almost here, and we’re starting with a massive statement.

After a stinging 16-10 loss in game one of the 2022 series - a result that left the Blues reeling and under immense pressure - Nathan Cleary faced the ultimate test of character. How did the game's greatest player bounce back to deliver one of the most clinical masterclasses in Perth?

In our Season 5 premiere, hosted by Mathew Thompson and proudly brought to you by TAB, Nathan Cleary pulls back the curtain on his favourite Origin game. We explore the tactical brilliance, the pressure of the jersey, and the exact moment he turned a career low into his defining Origin performance.
