Wins after the siren

- Last year's wobbly kick from Lockyer carrying a fractured cheekbone, against the Dragons in the semis. Epic game!
- FG from Lockyer against the Titans that hit both goal posts before falling behind the transversal (2008 I think).

Can't remember if the siren went during the play of just after putting it down, but Pearce scored a length of the field match winner against Penrith in 2007 which was pretty special.

Panthers had the ball 3-4m out from our line with seconds on the clock, all panthers had to do was kick it out. Ball goes to Gower (who had felt up Pearce's sister that off season), who gets rushed by Sa, panics and throws the ball to no one. Wing swoops on the loose pass, flicks it to Pearce and he goes 80m to score under the sticks for the win :D

I think that is the game I was referring to

I do remember listening to that game on the radio.
The commentators were banging on about what a 'ridiculous decision' it was to go for goal when they could have kicked for touch and then given it to Greg Alexander to kick a field goal.

I remember NSW defeated QLD in an exhibition match in maybe Los Angeles after the siren. Length of the field.

There's only been one "exhibition" Origin game & it was after the 1987 series. It was in LA & NSW beat QLD 30-18.

Manly last year at Shark Park. Up by 13 with 20 to go, and lost on the siren.

God. Damn. Heartbreaker

This game became extremely important for the whole context of the season.
Sharks had been on a mini-roll, it derailed and basically ended our season through lack of confidence. Manly showed they had the metal to win at any time throughout the game and went on to prove it.
Shows why the game a few rounds ago was so important to the Sharks, same position, same ground, same atmosphere, and they won.
Never discount experience.

Right. Was a try after the siren but not to win match. Fuzzy head at that time of the morning.

It feels like the last time we won an origin match. :)

Sure. But in the same theme as last year, Manly should never have been allowed back into the game.

The Warriors beat the Storm in 1998 with a try from Tony Tatupu after a Hail Mary bomb put up after the hooter.

Syd Eru, who contested and I think actually touched the kick, was miles offside and yet somehow the try passed inspection from the video ref. I guess those were simpler times.
