Battle of The States


Who will win the State of Origin? & Who are the real winners?

RPR Trades have established business in QLD, NSW & VIC and are headed up by a Regional Manager for each state. Competition is great and the battle of the States always heats up during the State of Origin! QLD may be well ahead over the past 10 years but can we retain the winning edge?

2007 Queensland 2-1
2008 Queensland 2-1
2009 Queensland 2-1
2010 Queensland 3-0
2011 Queensland 2-1
2012 Queensland 2-1
2013 Queensland 2-1
2014 New South Wales 2-1
2015 Queensland 2-1
2016 Queensland 2-?

Michael Chammas reported in 2014 that the State of Origin series is estimated to be worth $150 million.

The talk during the State of Origin always turns to the Experience, leadership and Youth coming through in the team. As the Banter starts in May leading up to game 1 so does the office rivalry. How do you engage each State to work together and compliment the overall success of the business? The State of Origin is a great success story bringing in revenue across not only NSW & QLD but also in VIC. Everyone are the real winners when you engage highly competitive team with a fierce rivalry!
