The traditional Anzac Day clash between the Sydney Roosters and St George Illawarra Dragons has produced a plethora of breathtaking games, moments and tries over the years.
Since its inception in 2002, half of the matches have been decided by 10 points or less, proving the tightness and dramatic nature of the annual clash.
With so many amazing moments and frantic finishes over the years, Sporting News have compiled the top five moments in Anzac Day history below.
5. Matt Dufty's freakish solo try (2019)
Rugby league fans have been gifted to plenty of Matt Dufty over the past five years - but none have stood out more than this effort against the Roosters.
The 26-year-old scored one of the great individual tries in recent memory on Anzac Day in 2019, despite the Dragons going down 20-10 at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Coming up against the reigning premiers, Dufty got the ball mid-field and standing still, but was able to find the smallest of gaps to dart through.
The fullback was then able to beat both James Tedesco and Cooper Cronk - two legends of the game - on his way to the tryline.
Dufty would play another two seasons in the Red V, before departing the club and moving to Canterbury in 2022.
4. Brad Fittler proves the difference (2004)
Speaking of individual tries, Roosters legend and current NSW Origin coach Brad Fittler was able to score plenty during his illustrious career.
Fittler was coming towards the end of his career by the time the 2004 Anzac Day game rolled around, but managed to prove the difference in a low-scoring affair.
With the Tricolours down 8-2 with 20 minutes left on the clock, Fittler got the ball at first-receiver and stepped straight through the Dragons' defence in trademark fashion, before stepping the fullback to score right next to the posts.
Ray Warren chimed in with a perfect call of "age shall not weary them" - befitting both the Anzac legends and Fittler in the twilight of his career.
Brett Finch would kick a late field-goal for the Roosters to seal a 11-8 victory, but it was Fittler's solo effort that is still replayed to this day.
3. Mitchell Pearce's perfect first field-goal (2017)
Mitchell Pearce spent a large majority of his NRL career maligned due to his shortcomings at State of Origin level and his inability at times to ice big moments.
After close to a decade in the top grade heading into the 2017 Anzac Day game, Pearce was still yet to kick a field-goal in his career.
St George Illawarra had started the game well, but it was all the Roosters in the second-half, who looked set for a victory before Nene MacDonald crashed over with three minutes remaining and took the game to golden-point.
Enter the Roosters No.7, who nailed a perfect one-pointer in the 83rd minute to break the hearts of Dragons fans at the old Sydney Football Stadium.
Pearce would be let go by the Roosters at the end of that season and move to the Knights, with the club signing Cooper Cronk to replace him at halfback.
2. Matt Head's minute of brilliance (2005)
As we've already seen on this list, Anzac Day games between the Roosters and Dragons have produced some stunning finishes.
But after future Immortal Brad Fittler's late heroics in 2004 sunk the Red V, a far-less famous playmaker stood up to return the favour to the Roosters.
In a see-sawing affair between the two sides, it was the Roosters who were in the lead at 24-20 with just under nine minutes remaining, before both Brett Finch and Justin Poore were sent to the sin-bin for a melee.
With three minutes remaining, it was Dragons halfback Matt Head who stood up, pulling off a chip-and-chase from inside his own half, before throwing a cut-out pass to centre Matt Cooper, who crossed out wide for the Dragons to level the scores.
Head would be tasked with slotting the conversion from five metres in from touch - and he made no mistake, nailing it over the black-dot and helping the Dragons to a dramatic win.
St George Illawarra coach Nathan Brown was coming into the game under plenty of pressure, and the late heroics from Head helped the Dragons kickstart their 2005 season.
1. Ben Creagh crashes over in frantic finish (2012)
Out of all the finishes in Anzac Day history, this one seemed the most unlikely and certainly the most chaotic.
After legendary coach Wayne Bennett departed at the end of 2011, it was always going to be a tough year for the Dragons.
In a back-and-forth match, it was the Roosters who would gain the ascendancy at 18-10 after a Mitchell Pearce try in the second-half. Michael Weyman darted over for the Dragons and hit back soon after, but Braith Anasta would score two minutes later to give the Roosters a six-point lead.
The biggest piece of drama would come when a Pearce field-goal attempt hit the posts and bounced into the in-goal area. Daniel Vidot was subsequently dragged back for a drop-out and Jamie Soward decided to mouth off at the referee, who blew a penalty and allowed the Roosters to kick the goal and take an eight-point lead with less than five minutes remaining.
What followed was one of the craziest endings to an NRL game of all-time. St George Illawarra got the ball back from a short kick-off on the left-side, swung the ball all the way over to the right-side, and scored through Matt Prior. Soward added the extras, but his side were still behind with a minute to go due to his referee spray.
Enter Ben Creagh. who charged onto a Weyman offload and scored from close range, sending the Sydney Football Stadium into raptures.
