Sunday’s NRL grand final clash between the Brisbane Broncos and the North Queensland Cowboys is cause for celebration in the Sunshine State, as it will be the first all-Queensland final in the game’s history.

The North Queensland Cowboys beat the Storm 32-12 in Melbourne last night to join the Brisbane Broncos in the first all-Queensland National Rugby League grand final.

Tate played 114 games for Brisbane – where he was part of Wayne Bennett’s 2006 grand final-winning side – and the last 67 of his 229 NRL games for North Queensland, where he battled a career-threatening neck injury and came back from three knee reconstructions.
