TWELVE SECOND-HALF MOMENTS THAT CRUELLED NSW IN ORIGIN II

47th: Mitchell Pearce crossfield kick for Josh Dugan that Valentine Holmes fields inside his in-goal. Seven tackle set.

52nd: Wade Graham and Nathan Peats' missed tackles on Josh McGuire ended in Dane Gagai's first try, igniting the comeback.

58th: Jarryd Hayne attempts an audacious, no-look flick-pass out the back on a left side shift early in the tackle count that went over the sideline.

60th: Hayne compounds the error by getting penalised for stripping the ball from Gagai.

62nd: James Tedesco pulled for a head injury assessment, sending Dugan to fullback.

65th: James Maloney's short ball to a marked Graham never found the mark, resulting in a penalty for the Maroons and possession on the halfway line.

69th: Pearce's long kick was cleverly retrieved by Billy Slater in the in-goal. Seven tackle set.

71st: Hayne fumbles Pearce's offload, giving Queensland another set on the halfway line.

74th: With the Maroons struggling to get out of their own end, Graham is penalised for a third-tackle strip on Dylan Napa. Cooper Cronk forces a repeat set on the last play.

77th: And it's in that set where Billy Slater darts across field on a right-side shift, finds Michael Morgan, who produces the flick pass for Gagai's second try.

78th: Johnathan Thurston nails an inswinging conversion from 23 metres out and 10 metres in from touch for the match-winner.

79th: Maloney's crossfield kick taken by Gagai under little pressure.
