Message: [QUOTE="subsbligh, post: 2590691, member: 1950"] Lots of good memories as a kid in the 90s, it was seriously the highlight of the year behind Christmas. [B]Game III, 2006[/B] Stands out to me for a number of reasons. Qld had one or two victories over the prior few years but the Blues were clearly the better team over 2003, 2004, 2005 series. 2001 was the Langer miracle comeback/Bennett masterstroke. 2002, the edges were fraying but we got away with a drawn series on the bell. Anyway, it had not been a great time as a Qld supporter. Staring down the barrel of 4 series defeats in a row, the Qlders got off to a great start, Mogg scored from memory. 6-6 at halftime? Huge arm wrestle. Early in the second half the Qlders looked to have nabbed a decisive Tony Carrol try - only to be denied by a typically horrendous video referee strip ruling (similar to the Hunt on Burgess penalty this year). Two more BS tries put NSW up 14-6. I remember my sister's fuckhead boyfriend and NSW supporter of the time ruining my peaceful Origin family tradition with his typically fuckwit lair behaviour. Tate scored off a brilliant Thurston show and go. 14-12. We're still in it. Did we have enough to get home? Where would we find the points? Did we have the self-belief? The ultimate clutch player finds something off a wayward pass.. QLD are in and home, Lockyer you legend! There's a school of thought that had Hodgson not thrown that pass, Lockyer gets dropped, Qld re-shuffle and history is vastly different. There is no bigger Origin moment IMO. [/QUOTE]
