5. South Sydney v North Queensland and Bulldogs (2008)
A Chris Sandow field goal was the difference as South Sydney recorded the equal-second biggest comeback of all time against North Queensland.
Trailing 28-4 with less than half an hour to play, the Rabbitohs stormed back to level with four quick tries, before Sandow snapped a one-pointer in the final minute.
Just nine days later, Souths recovered from an 18-point deficit against the Bulldogs to send the match into extra-time. The Dogs led 24-6 early in the second stanza, but the match was levelled at 30-all when Rabbitohs winger Fetuli Talanoa scored with seven minutes remaining.
Craig Wing sent Luke Capewell over for a try in the second period of golden point to clinch a memorable 34-30 victory.
