Players of the Queensland team are sometimes referred to as the cane toads and the New South Wales players as the cockroaches, due to a marketing campaign used in the 1980s where the respective teams were depicted in such a manner. More recently, the NSW representatives are sometimes referred to as ‘Cattledog’, following the controversial tactics employed by former coach Tommy Raudonikis during the 1997–1998 series.
