Roycie Simmons 1991 - two tries in his last game, the GF, and then offering to all Penrith fans to "have a beer with every one of youse..." (and by all accounts, sticking to his word).

The ultimate fairytale - Webcke will be looking for similar

In 91 when Canberra tried a short drop out and big MG came out of no where to swoop on the ball and set up Roycie for his 2nd try.

In 94 Big Osbourne having an absolute blinder.

97 with John's going down the short side to set up Albert for the match winner.

02 the flying headbutt on Freddie which seemed to fire up the chooks to win.

1996: Ridge being tackled only to get up and play on [onya Mander] It was actually David Manson
1997: Alberts try. and i knew someone had to bring it up :(

Despite all that Canterbury were too dominant in 95 and deserved the game..if you want to complain about that game we can always go back to 78!!!!;-)

The penalty try in 99 would have to be my highlight, but Choc dropping the ball cold over the try line would have to be right up there for me as well ;-)

Alan Cann scored in 1992, a pretty good try beat about 6 of them.My vivid memory of 1993 was Jason Stevens getting injured in the first tackle, and Kevin Walters having a hand and all the tries.1997 was of course Darren Albert's try. other moments in that game were Toovey getting stomped on and O'Davis' two tries. People sometimes forget Troy Fletcher made a big bust to set up O'Davis' second try to level the game. If it wasnt for Fletcher, Newcastle probably wouldntve gone on to win.
