1. Brisbane Broncos vs North Queensland Cowboys - 2015
It's probably no surprise this grand final tops the list, for sheer drama and entertainment, it's probably only contested by the 1989 Raiders versus Balmain match for the best grand final of all time.
It was a first for the NRL, an all-Queensland grand final played in Sydney.
The Broncos a side that once claimed premierships with regularity had been staring at an empty spot on a dust-covered shelf since their win in 2006.
The Cowboys by contrast had waited ten years to find themselves back in a grand final, the loss in 2005 and subsequent decade of struggle firmly implanted in the mind of captain Johnathan Thurston.
Their maiden premiership would come in a classic encounter with their Queensland siblings, Brisbane.
The two sides would trade points in the opening half, a break from Corey Oates leading to a runaway try for Brisbane.
The Cowboys would answer swiftly when Jake Granville sniffed out space from the scrum and went inside to Justin O'Neill to score.
North Queensland would claim the lead when James Tamou crossed over in the 24th minute.
A Thurston error in the 33rd minute would prove costly however and Brisbane would recapture their edge when Jack Reed found a four-pointer.
The Broncos would lead 14-12 at halftime.
The story of the second half was different however, half chances for both sides would come to nothing thanks to the brilliant defence of both sides.
The only points came by way of a penalty goal to extend the Broncos' scoreline to 16, with it not being until the siren sounded that the Cowboys would find a way around the Brisbane defence.
It was the superb work of Michael Morgan in the final play of regular time that led to Kyle Feldt scoring in the right-hand corner, drawing the game at 16-all, with a kick to come.
It would be up to Johnathan Thurston to win the game with a sideline conversion, but in a cruel twist of fate, the ball would strike the upright.
For the first time, the grand final was to be decided in golden point.
Thurston would get his redemption quickly when an error from Broncos halfback Ben Hunt gave North Queensland prime real estate for a shot at a field goal.
The North Queensland halfback would take the shot from 30 out and kick the Cowboys into the promised land, dramatically winning their first-ever premiership.
