Best or Most influential one match performance

[mongoose]

Brad Clyde in the 89 grand final was perpetual motion and then some.

Some good ones mentioned here, I also concur with Darren Lockyer in the 2004 Tri Nations final.

lcoky's second half was probably the best if not one of the best second half performances of all time

also sharks vs knights 2003, kimmorley had an absolute blinder and was one the very few people to get a rating of 10 in rlw match review

Dead set, there was 3 of him on the field in every game he played.

SBW against I think canberra maybe 2 years ago, or possibly last year? There was one game where he was playing at centre I believe and was just toying with them, they had literally no answer. He strolled over for a few tries, made breaks and offloaded at will. Best ever individual performance Ive seen, I was amazed at how good he was that night. Shame really. Does anyone remember that one?

 

[CGD]

Yes, he scored a hat-trick. It was 2007.

lcoky's second half was probably the best if not one of the best second half performances of all time

Are you sure you remember that game? The score was 38-0 at halftime. We let in a try to Brian Carney in the second half and only scored one more try of our own, to Mason off a Kimmorley grubber.

It was all Lockyer in the first half. He set up every try, except for the best of the night (Minichiello's), but still touched the ball 4 times in the lead up.

Well, everyone was wrong.

Probably not the best of all time, but Jarrod Croker gave Hodges a footballing lesson earlier this year. Pretty impressive for a rookie to school one of the best centres in the world like he did.

 

[Broncodr01d]

See any of Wally Lewis's M.O.M. performances at Origin level. Genius.

Andrew Johns' mesmerising performance in 2005 Origin.

There was a day when Steve Renouf was untouchable in a club game where he scored four tries. It was jaw dropping stuff.

Ricky Stuart in his prime put in some ***** performances routinely.

Fittler's 10/10 game against NZ.

 

[Mr Saab]

Well, everyone was wrong.

Exactly. Lockyer helped carve up England in the first half. In the 2nd half no one really gave a toss.

 

[jpaciocco91]

Ooh Aah Gasnier vs the Tigers in 06, got a 10/10, turned out to be his last game at Kogarah Oval as he was injured throughout 07 and we didn't play there in 08.
Benji Marshall vs Sharks in 05 & 09 at Toyota
Andrew Johns in '05 origin
Jarryd Hayne vs Brisbane 07, vs Warriors 09, heaps more lol

Have been watching league for 30 years and have seen some stirling individual performances. I've never even seen anyone come close to single-handedly dominating a match the way Joey did in SoO2/05. The fact he had played farqall in months & yet was able to be rushed in with no match fitness and own the game made it legendary.

 

[Hanscholo]

Bill Harrigan binning 4 players at Marathon v the Knights in about 2000?

vs Parra? And i think it was three not four.

Funnily enough i got to ask him about that game a couple of years ago when he was a speaker at a work function. It was the one time that the league hung him out to dry for a performance, needless to say he wasnt that forthcoming with information, but he always believed parra went to newcastle with intent of laying in the ruck for long periods.

 

[Hanscholo]

Brett Mullen vs Knights some years ago...dont recall when, dont need to really, all knights and raiders fans know what i am talking about. One of the great individual performances.

Benji marshall's last 20 mins vs the knights this season at Campbelltown. Untouchable. The knights never really recovered from that for the rest of the year.

John's in 05.

Those three stand out to me...im sure there are a lot of others that i have forgotten.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Am I right in saying Johns turned in another freaky performance in a game v the Storm in 2005?

He turned in that many it is hard to keep count.

sirro v the poms 3rd test on the 90 kangaroo tour. 1 game all and we'd only just got home in game two with a miracle last minute try.

sirro was a man on a mission and belted hanley every time the ball went near him to completely shut down the pommy attack. huge huge game from the big tiger.

 

[Moffo]

rod silva 1998 sf vs parramatta....the rocket brained them

 

[Shire Panther]

Terry Campesse lat year when Canberra beat us by 1000.

Tony Puletua vs Tigers in 2001 i think he was unstopable we came from no where to beat them after we getting hammerd with 20 to go.

Lockeyer 04 tri nations

Johns to many to mention.

Mullins v Brisbane.

Kurt Gidley vs us in 06 i think where he played fullback in defence and hooker in attack he carved us up and nearlly won the game for Newcastle by himself from memory i think it was the knights 1st win in 12 weeks.
