Your most tense Origin moment?

The moment in Origin that had your heart pounding like no other?

Mine, strangely enough, was Game 1 2004. I think it was the first time a team I followed went to golden point, and I really thought Qld were going to do it via Prince or Locky getting a field goal, until Shaun Timmins kicked one of the most unlikely FG's ever. The feeling of elated relief when the ref signalled it had gone between the posts was huge!

Every single origin match.

I'm gonna wear a HR monitor when I head to game 3 to see just how high it actually gets. It was absolutely racing last night

Likewise. Every Origin get's me going and my heart pump's like it's going to jump out of my throat. Out of all games though the last 10minutes in this game my heart was racing like crazy.

Knightmare, how was Locky going to kick a field goal? I don't even think he was in Sydney for that game! :lol: Otherwise fair call.

The final five minutes in Origin 3. Time REALLY slowed down there. Game 2 2007 and Game 3 2008 were also very tense finishes.

From last night my heart was in my mouth when Queensland made that late break, the one that ended with Cooper Cronk getting flattened by Luke Lewis.

Easily done for you. He wasn't in your side. I still have nightmares about the "shitman" playing.

As soon as it left the boot I knew it was going over. That was a very tense game from memory too.

Game 1 2009 when Wing came on kept Gidley out of dummy half and combined with Farah to get the attack firing, bringing NSW to within a converted try with 10 minutes remaining. Nervous hope and anticipation was soon shattered though due to yet another Gidley error. Have never been more disgusted with an Origin player in my entire life.

The last 10 minutes of every game when NSW are up by 10 or less. Always scares me due to QLD being fast finishers.

Nate Myles spear-tackle on Ben Cross in 2008. Should have been sent off for sure.

Steve Price's injury in Game 3, 2009. Very scary times there.

And the head clash between Jason Smith and Ian Roberts in 1994. They both looked like horror movie characters after that.
