STATE of Origin III will be remembered for many reasons but high on the list will will be Valentine Holmes’ try off a pinpoint Cooper Cronk kick.

With Queensland up 6-0 and with Josh Papalii having split the Blues up the middle, Cronk took the ball off the next play and what happened next was pure magic.

His kick to Holmes out on the wing was sport at its purest.

Watch it in the player above.

ORIGIN FUTURE: It’s all looking bright for Maroons
