A jaw-dropping kick during the State Of Origin left fans and commentators in disbelief as it soared to unprecedented heights
Brisbane: So, you won’t believe what just happened at the State Of Origin! Matt Burton kicked the ball, and it just kept going up and up. The commentators were totally blown away.
“It’s up there forever, it’s the highest kick in history!” one of them shouted. And you know what? With 52,000 fans watching, it was a sight to see.
The kick was so high that the cameras couldn’t even keep up with it. Seriously, it was like watching a rocket take off! The ball was in the air for almost seven seconds before it finally came down.
But the height was just insane. The Queensland Maroons couldn’t even get close to it. It came down like a missile, and you could tell it was something special.
For those who don’t know, the State Of Origin is a big deal in Australia. It’s a three-match series where two state teams go head-to-head. Burton was playing for the New South Wales Blues, and this isn’t the first time he’s pulled off a kick like this. They even call it the ‘Burton Bomb’ now!
He’s a top player with a killer kick, and he’s raking in about £500,000 a year with the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs. Not too shabby, right?
