The dad who can still name the 1994 series but gets the years wrong and refuses to be corrected

What it is

Liam Hauser, 416-page hardcover covering every State of Origin game since 1980, with blow-by-blow accounts of the triumphs, controversies and incidents across all matches.

Why we picked it

Origin arguments are always about a specific incident in a specific year, and this settles them game by game going back to 1980. It is a reference book disguised as a gift, which is why it stays on the shelf rather than going to the op shop.
