Rugby League's State of Origin series is an annual event unlike any other on the Australian sports calendar. For fans like author Darren Groth and his father Des, it is more than a yearly three-game series between two states, it is part of their DNA.

'Marooned' (Hawkeye Publishing) traces the deeply ingrained commitment and passion the Groths share for the game and each other. Darren shares how he and his dad have navigated the challenges of life and footy, with both presenting their fair share of wins and losses.
