    FOG #64 Mark Coyne | Sunnybank Junior, Dragons Captain & The Miracle Try

    Mark Coyne is FOG #64 — a Brisbane-born centre who built a remarkable career through loyalty, resilience and a deep love of the Maroon jersey. From junior footy at South Sunnybank to captaining the St George Dragons and later St George Illawarra, Coyney became one of the game’s most respected professionals in a tough era.

    A premiership winner with Past Brothers in Brisbane before making the move south, Mark went on to play 233 top-grade games, including three grand finals, and earned the rare honour of captaining both Dragons entities. At representative level, he played 19 State of Origin matches for Queensland and nine Tests for Australia, including the 1995 World Cup triumph at Wembley.

    Of course, he’s also etched into Origin folklore as the man who finished off the Miracle Try in 1994 — a moment that still gives Queenslanders goosebumps.

    A proud Queenslander and a true Dragon who earned everything the hard way.

    FOG #59 Dan Stains | Darling Downs Battler, Origin Maroon & Kangaroo Tourist

    Dan Stains is FOG #59 — a proud Queenslander whose rugby league journey began on a dairy farm on the Darling Downs and carried him all the way to State of Origin and Australian representation. A tough, determined forward, Stains built a respected top-grade career across Australia and the UK through persistence, resilience, and belief.

    Raised in rural Queensland, Dan’s early football came through Toowoomba Valleys before progressing into Queensland representative teams alongside future legends. After earning his opportunity at Cronulla, he played 190 first-grade games across Cronulla, Balmain, Halifax, and the London Broncos, becoming known as a reliable, hard-working professional in an unforgiving era of the game.

    Dan represented Queensland in four State of Origin matches and earned the ultimate reward in 1989 when he was selected for the Australian tour of New Zealand — a defining moment that capped off a career built on earning every chance the hard way.

    In this episode of the FOGS Queenslander Podcast, Dan reflects on:
    • Growing up on the Darling Downs and discovering rugby league late
    • Moving to Toowoomba and finding opportunity at Valleys
    • Early Queensland teams and the confidence they instilled
    • Fighting for a first-grade chance at Cronulla
    • Life under Jack Gibson and the demands of elite professionalism
    • Pulling on the Maroons jersey and handling Origin intensity
    • Being selected for the Australian tour of New Zealand
    • Playing club football in England and broadening his life experience
    • Lessons learned from mentors, coaches, and teammates
    • What it means to be remembered as a FOG

    A genuine Queensland battler whose story reflects the grit, humility, and pride that define Maroon football.

    FOG #13 Rod Morris | Origin Original, Kangaroos Enforcer & Wynnum-Manly Premiership Captain

    Rod Morris is FOG #13 — a proud Queenslander, a hard-nosed front-rower and one of the original State of Origin pioneers. A three-time Brisbane Rugby League premiership winner with Easts and Wynnum-Manly, Morris also starred for Balmain in Sydney and became a mainstay of the Australian pack across World Cups and Kangaroo tours.

    Born in Ipswich and forged in the old-school era of 80-minute football with no interchanges, Rod played for Queensland before Origin, then returned in 1980 to help launch a new era alongside Arthur Beetson, Wally Lewis, Mal Meninga and Chris Close. He toured with Australia in 1977 and 1978, played 16 Tests, and in 2025 was inducted into the Queensland Sports Hall of Fame alongside his brother Des.

    In this episode of the FOGS Queenslander Podcast, Rod reflects on:
    • Growing up in Ipswich with “more freedom” and old-school junior footy
    • Rising through Ipswich and into a dominant Easts Tigers side in the 1970s
    • Playing 80 minutes every week in a brutal Brisbane Rugby League era
    • Winning BRL premierships with Easts and captaining Wynnum-Manly to their first title
    • The frustration of pre-Origin interstate footy and playing for both Queensland and New South Wales
    • Kangaroo tours, club games in England and why players today miss that experience
    • Being an Origin original in 1980 and the pressure Queensland felt to “get it right first time”
    • Balancing elite footy with running his own business and the parallels between leadership in sport and business

    A tough, intelligent front-rower who helped lay the foundations of State of Origin and left a lasting mark on Queensland rugby league.
