With the State of Origin games you've watched so far, what's the most memorable referee call that's been made in your view, who said it and what year was it made.

Harrigan 2000 sin binning the incomparable meathead Gordon Tallis. A whole country united behind the decision (Even QLDers).

One of the great moments in Origin history.

Inglis state of origin try/no try strip I think in Melbourne handed Q another series win when everyone was desperate for a blues win.

How about Klein's attempt to call a penalty try on a tiny brush of the shoulders from Luai 40 metres down-field late in the decider last year?

Hodges shepherd try in 2012 sticks out.

Also 2007 when Hayne clear as the day stepped on the sideline but there was mass hoopla around it.

McGaw's try in 87 to win the game. There was no safety net back then so credit to Mick Stone for getting the call spot on.

Otherwise there was the 2002 Lockyer 'No Try'. Langer grubbers into the NSW in-goal, Tahu knocks the ball forward, Locky leaps up above Hodgson and miraculously plants it down before the in-goal and the video erronously denies the try and gives the ball back to NSW.

It's a try that should have gone down in the annals of Origin history.
