See the strange social media post that made footy fans believe Maroons Origin star was HACKED
Queensland Origin star Lindsay Collins was the victim of a bizarre Instagram hack just hours before kick-off at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on Wednesday. Footy fans didn't know what to think when the 29-year-old - who rarely posts on social media - was the new owner of a luxury Mercedes thanks to Bitcoin. 'Today marks a new milestone in my life. I purchased a new Mercedes!,' the post read. 'All the work, decisions, and time spent to make it up to this moment has all been worth it. It still doesn't feel real, but it definitely is. 'Basically, bitcoin mining is real life changing opportunity for evervone (sic) so advise not to miss out. A big thanks to my coach Shannon Alexis who made this day perfect. 'Excited to finally be ZERO emissions.' It comes after the Roosters enforcer recently revealed he spends $1000 every week on groceries. Ahead of his 13th Origin cap, Collins said the strict diet is key to him staying at the top of his game. The 106kg prop loads up on grass-fed beef, free-range chicken, organic eggs and fresh produce from his local farmer's market. It's all part of a 6000-calorie-a-day routine designed to keep him primed for battle. 'I'm also trying to fuel my family with the right stuff,' Collins said. His wife Kaylah caused a stir earlier this year by sharing their shopping habits online during Australia's cost-of-living crisis. The couple, based in Bondi, have an 11-month-old daughter, Georgia. Breakfast consists of half a kilo of grass-fed beef mince, six eggs and an avocado.

Queensland Maroons star Lindsay Collins reveals absurd $1000-a-week grocery bill
The cost of living impacts everyone but not many could say it costs them upwards of $1,000 a week for their weekly grocery shop alone. But for 106kg hulking Queensland Maroons enforcer Lindsay Collins he spares no expense when crafting his weekly diet, consisting largely of grass-fed beef, free-range chicken, organic eggs and bags full of avocados. FOX LEAGUE, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every game of every round in the 2025 NRL Telstra Premiership, LIVE with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited-time offer. Earlier this year Collins' wife Kaylah revealed on social media that the family's weekly grocery bill was well above a thousand dollars. And now Collins has opened up about his insane diet ahead of what will be his 13th State of Origin appearance for Queensland in Game 1 on Wednesday. 'I'd love to not spend $1000-a-week on f***ing groceries but that's what I've got to do,' he told Code Sports. 'If I didn't have to spend that much I wouldn't. I'm also trying to fuel my family with the right stuff. It's bigger than me.' The Bondi-based couple and their 11-month-old daughter Georgia, shop exclusively at farmer's markets and organic butchers where prices for top quality produce are at a premium. Collins himself is no light eater and given the rigours of being a professional footballer the 29-year-old averages an intake of around 6,000 calories a day spread across five meals. While Collins has tinkered with his diet over the years, the Roosters forward says he has finally found what works for him. From his breakfast that used to be a handful of Weet-Bix with sugar every morning, it now is often 500g of beef mince, six free range eggs and an avocado. 'You test, try and figure out what works and what doesn't work for you. It's been a long trial and I'm still working out the kinks … We are professional athletes and have to look after ourselves,' Collins continued. 'It's not only your footy career – it's also life after. There is a huge impact in what food can have on your body and how you feel.' Collins' daily diet consists of beef mince, eggs and avocado for breakfast, snacks on fruit and yoghurt during the day and usually steak for dinner. He avoids heavily processed foods and gluten. Breakfast – 500 grams of grass-fed beef mince, six free-range eggs, organic avocado Morning tea – organic yoghurt, banana, honey Lunch – club provided beef/chicken, rice, vegetables Afternoon tea – organic fruit

Maroons enforcer reveals his $1000 a week grocery bill ahead of opening State of Origin clash at Suncorp Stadium
Lindsay Collins has revealed the eye-watering cost of fuelling his State of Origin body - and it's not for the faint-hearted. The Queensland Maroons prop, known for his uncompromising approach on the field, spends $1000 every week on groceries. Ahead of his 13th Origin cap, Collins said the strict diet is key to staying at the top of his game. 'I'd love to not spend $1000-a-week on f***ing groceries,' he told News Corp. 'But that's what I've got to do.' The 106kg enforcer loads up on grass-fed beef, free-range chicken, organic eggs, and fresh produce from his local farmer's market. It's all part of a 6000-calorie-a-day routine designed to keep him primed for battle. 'I'm also trying to fuel my family with the right stuff,' Collins said. 'It's bigger than me.' His wife Kaylah caused a stir earlier this year by sharing their shopping habits online during Australia's cost-of-living crisis. The couple, based in Bondi, have an 11-month-old daughter, Georgia. Breakfast consists of half a kilo of grass-fed beef mince, six eggs and an avocado. Morning tea is yoghurt, banana and honey. Lunch is typically meat, rice and veg, while dinner is more beef or steak with rice and greens. Collins says the transformation began after joining the Roosters in 2017. He worked with former NRL star Anthony Minichiello to overhaul his eating habits. 'I used to eat Weet-Bix with sugar every morning,' Collins recalled. 'It's been a long trial and I'm still working out the kinks.' He steers clear of processed food and fast food chains. 'If I don't know what the ingredients are, I don't eat it,' he said. While he avoids Coke and burgers, he does indulge in one guilty pleasure. 'Chicken wings from a local burger store,' he admitted. 'Not the big chains.' Collins has become a key part of Billy Slater's Queensland setup since his 2020 debut. Despite a recent knee injury, he's fit and firing ahead of Wednesday's series opener at Suncorp Stadium. 'I felt I could've come back earlier but the bye gave me another week,' he said. 'It worked out really well.' Collins says the Origin arena still gives him chills five years on from his debut. 'It's still hard to explain,' he said. 'I try not to take it for granted.' While Collins is preparing for battle, teammate Moeaki Fotuaika has issued a plea to the referees, calling for leeway when it comes to high-contact rulings in Origin I. 'Controlling aggression is important,' he said. 'But I hope they let a few slide.' Fotuaika will start alongside Tino Fa'asuamaleaui in Brisbane's front row. Both missed key matches last year but are determined to lay a physical platform in 2025. 'Tino's a big lad,' Fotuaika said. 'His presence gives us all confidence.' When Fa'asuamaleaui got the call-up, he gave Fotuaika the nod. 'We all knew what that meant,' Fotuaika smiled. Coach Billy Slater has also called on Reuben Cotter to step up after a disappointing 2023. Cotter is expected to switch between edge and middle roles. 'I'll find myself in the middle at some stage,' Cotter said. 'We're up for the fight.' With Tom Gilbert ruled out again, Slater has brought in rookies Trent Loiero and Beau Fermor. The pack is under pressure to deliver after being outmuscled in last year's series.
