70. Game Two, 2008: Cameron Smith wining try to seal series win.
With Origin assumingly dead and buried in 2005 thanks to the unbreakable New South Wales dominance, nobody could have seen that a mere three years later the Queenslanders would go on a miraculous run of their own, a run that is still to be broken. In their third consecutive series win, Cameron Smith would be the man to seal the series for the Maroons. It would come off a Johnathan Thurston bomb to Billy Slater, a bomb that the fullback would bat back, more in hope, to his teammates. The bat back would be intercepted by Blues back-rower Luke O'Donnell. Though in a sheer display of desperation, O'Donnell attempted to remain in the field of play but only dropped the ball for Smith to swoop down and secure Queensland a 2-0 lead and the series win.
