Queensland etched another chapter in their book of incredible comebacks as a new suite of young guns announced themselves as State of Origin heroes.
The 44-24 win at the MCG, breaking a 31-year Origin drought at the venue, was one for the true Maroons believers after everything that could possibly go wrong in the first half did.
The way razzle-dazzle halfback Sam Walker, freakish hat-trick winger Selwyn Cobbo and powerhouse utility Max Plath responded to a 10-point deficit will have the Blues quivering in their boots at the prospect of trying to win the series in Brisbane.
All three are aged 24 and have a decade of Origin ahead of them.
The bravery of prop Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, playing after the death of his father Fereti, will never be forgotten.
