About FOGS

QUEENSLANDERS HELPING QUEENSLANDERS

Founded by the late Richard ‘Tosser’ Turner and Alan Graham in 1997, FOGS (Former Origin Greats) was established to preserve the spirit of the State of Origin series and honour the elite players who have represented Queensland since its inception in 1980.

Over the years, FOGS has expanded its focus to include supporting charities, promoting Rugby League development, and mentoring Indigenous communities throughout Queensland.

FOGS is dedicated to making a real difference through our fundraising efforts. Our annual events, such as the FOGS Annual Charity Lunch, play a crucial role in raising vital funds for various charities.

Join us in our mission to support those in need and harness the unifying power of Rugby League to create positive change.
