Canberra's Golden Point try against Penrith is dubbed the "Miracle in Mudgee."
The event has been termed the "Miracle in Mudgee," as Canberra's remarkable 90m Golden Point try against Penrith captured global attention, significantly altering the NRL finals landscape.
With just 1:51 left in the first half of extra time, Nathan Cleary's long field goal attempt struck the left upright, bouncing back into play. Jed Stuart seized the opportunity, collecting the loose ball and launching Ethan Strange downfield, who then passed it to Kaeo Weekes for the try.
This breathtaking conclusion has been described as one of the most memorable finishes in recent history, drawing the largest audience for a Friday 6pm match since the NRL expanded to 17 teams in 2023.
