It is decider day!
Tonight the Blues and Maroons will go at it in front of a sold out Accor Stadium with the 2025 Origin series on the line.
It doesn't get any better than this!
Grand final day aside, perhaps, this is the biggest arena our game has to offer.
Unfortunately not all deciders live up to the billing. We're not here to discuss those today.
Instead we are here to look at the thrillers, the biggest moments, the best deciders.
Here are the five best Origin deciders of the past 20 years.
5. 2024 - NSW def QLD 14-4
There could be a fair bit of recency bias here but last year's decider was a cracking game.
Not all entertaining contests need to be 30-28. This was the perfect example of a low scoring game being a brilliant one.
Both teams ran out onto Suncorp Stadium knowing they each recorded a huge win in the series. This of course meant that both teams had also suffered a big loss.
In the opening half, despite numerous opportunities for both sides, the deadlock could only be broken via a Valentine Holmes penalty goal.
He would add a second in the 62nd minute, while Zac Lomax opened the Blues account earlier in the 45th minute, again via penalty goal.
Five minutes of halves genius would ultimately decide the series as Jarome Luai's 65th minute break saw Bradman Best cross for an amazing try up out wide.
A moment of Mitch Moses madness saw him step through the QLD defense to cross and wrap up the game and the series.
The fact that both tries, the only tries in the game, were scored within a three minute period showed just how little there really was between the sides.
I still get goosebumps thinking about that Moses step and try. He oversaw the Blues capping off one of the greatest all time comebacks following their Game One drubbing.
