It was dubbed the Miracle in Mudgee, but Canberra's stunning 90m Golden Point try against Penrith made headlines around the world as the NRL finals race was turned on its head.

With 1:51min remaining in the first half of extra time, Nathan Cleary's long range field goal attempt hit the left upright and rebounded into the field of play for Jed Stuart to pick up the bouncing ball and sending Ethan Strange racing downfield before passing to Kaeo Weekes to score.

It was one of the most stunning finishes to a match in memory and one worthy of the biggest broadcast audience for a Friday 6pm match since the NRL expanded to 17 teams in 2023.
