North Queensland Cowboys scored three tries in three minutes to snatch a stunning 28-26 defeat over Manly Sea Eagles last night.
Trailing 26-12 with just seven minutes from fulltime, the Cowboys mounted a remarkable comeback as Reece Robson, Murray Taulagi and Valentine Holmes crossed in succession to shock the Sea Eagles.
The Cowboys did so after losing Queensland forward Reuben Cotter in the warm-up with a hamstring injury that has him in doubt for next weekend's Origin in Perth and they never really looked like winning until the dying stages.
The Sea Eagles will now host the Storm in their next match on the Thursday after Origin II, while the Cowboys continue their epic rivalry with the Broncos in a Queensland derby clash on Saturday, July 2.
In other results, the Dragons thumped the Rabbitohs 32-12 and the Melbourne Storm defeated the Brisbane Broncos 32-20.
Meanwhile, the Sharks will meet the Titans at 5 this afternoon, the Warriors will take on the Panthers at 7.30 tonight and the Eels will play the Roosters at 9.35 tonight.
