The 2014 State of Origin series provided some of the toughest rugby league we have witnessed in recent years. With the series wrapped up, The Roar has taken a look back at some of the most memorable moments, and asks which ones will never be forgotten?

Game 1 saw a brutal encounter, with the Morris twins’ courageous efforts to play on through serious injuries likely to go down in Origin folklore.

Jarryd Hayne also delivered one of the finest individual Origin performances in recent years as he led his New South Wales side to a Game 1 victory.

With New South Wales trailing Queensland late in Game 2, Trent Hodkinson stepped up to deliver the try that secured victory for the Blues.

However, the game wasn’t without its controversy with Aaron Woods’ ‘chest of god’ moment a big talking point from the match.

With seconds remaining, Hayne ran out the clock as the Blues took out their first series victory in nine years.

In Game 3 Queensland were staring down the barrel of a whitewash, but they bounced back in a big way, as their attacking stocks clicked into gear.

Darius Boyd sealed a Queensland victory with his 15th Origin try to equal the all-time record and Cooper Cronk returned from a broken arm to cap off a dominant Queensland win.
