NRL: Scott Prince joins Darcie McDonald to reminisce about his State of Origin career.
Tigers 2005 premiership-winning captain Scott Prince admits leaving Wests for the Titans in 2006 is his biggest rugby league regret.
It was a fruitful time for Prince as well with the dynamo making his Queensland and Australian debuts while at the Tigers. “But at the time, a young family, I just wanted to get back to Queensland. It was a real regret and something that doesn’t really sit comfortably with me. “Ironic in the fact that it was a bit of a Steven Bradbury story where every known halfback in Queensland fell over or was injured so I was the last man standing. I got the gig and couldn’t wipe the smile off my face.
Prince said the disappointment of being dropped from the Maroons inspired him to put all his focus on the Tigers which culminated in the 2005 grand final win over the Cowboys.“I was disappointed . Once you have a taste or Origin you just want more and I just though to myself ‘if I’m going to miss out, I’m just really going to focus on what I do well at club land and that’s just playing well and at some point that actually pushes Locky and JT to play their best football too.
“Initially I was just trying to get my breath back because I was on the other side and I knew Tim changed it up a bit and put Benji on the wing just to change the dynamics of the edge defence,” he said. “I mean, we saw it every week at training everyday so it didn’t surprise us too much but the fact that it’s a grand final and he’s pulled that out of his backside, and more importantly, how did Pat Richards catch it? He didn’t see it at all and it landed in his right hand,” Prince said.
