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?
6. ROUND 25: Canterbury 21 def. Manly 20, Accor Stadium, September 2
It's hard to believe that two teams who were well out of finals contention in the last game of the season โ effectively a dead-rubber - could put on such an entertaining contest, but anyone who stuck with the Manly/Bulldogs game in the final round will be glad they did after a herculean comeback in atrocious conditions.
The Sea Eagles made the most of the conditions early, scoring through Daly Cherry-Evans after the captain backed up Dylan Walker.
When Christian Tuipulotu and Martin Taupau both went over within five minutes of each other, Manly were scoring at a point a minute and the Bulldogs seemed to have forgotten to show up. Combined with the weather some fans may have already been thinking about leaving.
But 10 minutes later the Bulldogs finally struck a blow. A simple move to the right was suddenly enlivened when Raymond Faitala-Mariner held up three defenders and got an arm free to offload. Quick hands shifted the ball to Braidon Burns, who went over with ease to give the Bulldogs some hope as halftime neared.
But they weren't done there, crossing again in the final minutes of the half after another strong run by Faitala-Mariner.
Zach Dockar-Clay scooped up the ball from dummy-half and went on a jinking run to his left, capitalising on the tough conditions to score and bringing the Bulldogs back to within four after being blown off the park in the early stages.
Manly seemed to reclaim the ascendancy after the break as conditions settled down, but the game was suddenly brought to life by Aaron Schoupp, who took an intercept 15 metres out from his own line and ran the length of the field to level the scores.
The Sea Eagles fought back again though, and looked to have dealt a critical blow when Haumole Olokau'atu scored from a grubber kick with 15 minutes remaining.
But the game wasn't done, with a Kyle Flanagan bomb causing headaches for the Manly defence before being spilt into the path of Tevita Pangai Junior, who got an offload back to Flanagan to score in the corner and restore parity.
With 90 second left, the Bulldogs hit the lead for the first time in the contest after a Matt Burton field goal, bringing a captivating game to a close and ensuring golden point would be avoided.
