A superb 110-metre movement involving Albert Hopoate and Bradman Best in the final 90 seconds of play has seen the NSW Under-16s side secure a memorable 22-16 victory against the Queensland Under-16s at Suncorp Stadium.

New South Wales have pulled off the greatest under-16s State of Origin try in the concept's brief history, going 109 metres in the last minute to defeat Queensland 22-16 in a thriller.

Playing 30-minute halves, it appeared Queensland had pinned New South Wales in their own half with just over 60 seconds to go as their field goal attempt rolled in the in-goal just centimetres from the dead-ball line.

Funny watching it, the ball looked to be going dead and there was no real urgency then Hoppa had to play and his only option was to try and run around/through 3 qlders just to make the field of play. Next thing he knows he is in space and 40m out before the cover defence comes at him, up pops Best and game over.

Gee that Bradman Best is very quick, Hoppa is not slow and he was off, Best easily caught up fighting past a qld player to get in position and once Hoppa put him away it was all over.

Hopoate had a blinder and there were 5 Manly boys in the team. Future looking bright. Half our team will be made up of Turbo's and Hoppa's in the next few years.

Schuster was superb out there. Played really well, however at timees made unnecessary decisions but only shows his confidence. Hoppa was pretty good as well, that last play was phenomonal. Ben Turbo for me is overrated, but is still good. He unlike Schuster dosent seem to be breaking tackles, when he makes a hit up, he gets put to the ground straight a way similar to Tom and Sometimes Jake but he his defence was solid thou. We didnt get to see much of Weekes and Filimaua but Weekes seemed promising for a kid playing up an age group.
