The NRL season is over, but some of this year's contests will live on in the memories of fans for at least a couple of years.

We've had a look back at every game this year to pick 10 of the best, from amazing comebacks to heavyweight clashes that lived up to the billing. We've tried to steer clear of games that ended controversially, but there were still plenty of exciting battles to pick from across 200-odd games.

With that in mind, here are our picks for the best games this year - did we miss anything?

10. ROUND 12: Brisbane 35 def. Gold Coast 24, Suncorp Stadium, May 27

It's hard to remember how good the Broncos were during their streak in the middle of the year, given how poorly they finished, but for the wide array of wins they secured during that period, the comeback over the Gold Coast was the most enthralling.

The game started with a sin-bin before scores had even been opened, with Jordan Riki sent for 10 just seven minutes into the contest following a late challenge.

It took the Titans less than a minute to capitalise, with a right-side move shifting the ball through six sets of hands before Preston Campbell challenged the line and won.

They didn't score again with the numerical advantage, but in the moments after Riki's return they found their way across the line through Corey Thompson.

Six minutes later and the Titans were in again after an offload from Tino Fa'asuamaleaui kept the play alive for Toby Sexton to dish out another assist, this time with a perfectly-weighted grubber kick into the in-goal for halve partner AJ Brimson. It was beginning to look like the Broncos' streak was going to end at five games.

But the Broncos finally found a foothold after a break by Selwyn Cobbo. Though he was stopped by Sam McIntyre, the Titan tried to slow play down illegally while a teammate lay injured on the ground, and he was penalised accordingly and sent to the sin bin.

The Titans did well to maintain their composure and line until a brain snap by Esan Martsers, pushing Kurt Capewell back to the ground as the Broncos attacked the line, earning himself 10 minutes in the bin and leaving his team critically undermanned.

They were made to pay immediately as Cobbo went over in the corner, but they restored the 18 point lead despite being two men down after David Fifita bullied his way through for a 20-point lead with 30 minutes remaining.

The Broncos needed to score next and did through a piece of individual brilliance by Te Maire Martin before another mind-boggling decision from the Titans. A short kick-off was immediately pounced on and taken the other way, with Jordan Riki crossing for the second try in two minutes.

With all the momentum, Brisbane continued to catch up, with a Herbie Farnworth try bringing the margin back to two before Kurt Capewell was the first of three Broncos to an in-field kick from winger Corey Oates to take the lead for the first time.

Though the Titans already looked defeated, the Broncos had one more to score, with an excellent Farnworth offload putting Ezra Mam in to seal the result before a Tyson Gamble field goal.
