Billy Slater - Great GF Moment

[simostorm]

Stopping Morris from scoring that try is a great GF moment. Had Morris scored the Dogs could have went on to win it.

Up their with Sattlers tackle in 2003.

If the Dogs scored that we are still 4 behind. It was a good play and an unlucky bounce but I don't know if it would have changed the result.

 

[simostorm]

Would have given the Dogs momentum i reckon.. Whole reason Morris had to kick it in the first place too was because of Billy being there.

 

[gronkathon]

A good fullback play but nowhere near the game changer and "moment" of Sattlers tackle

this

honestly this was more to do with 2 shit bounces of the ball as opposed to any great play from slater.

first bounce didnt sit up. second bouce went backwards over his head.

he was well ahead in the race and as well.

nothing compared to sattlers tackle.

 

[Springs]

The bounce saved the try. Honestly every fullback would have done the same thing. The only other thing he could do was stand back and let Morris catch it.

 

[Raider_69]

I think it was a fairly big moment
Slater got help from the bounce of the ball, much like Sattler got help from a slow winger and a good angle to the ball, but that doesnt take away from the moment.

It was a big play that many fullbacks would not have made and for my mind, it crushed the spirit of the dogs, after giving so much and looking like finially getting some reward, it was taken from them. From that moment on i think most felt the storm had the game wrapped up.

I agree, it was a great GF moment.

Agreed, 9 times out if 10 that ball bounces straight up into Morris' hands.
Slater was lucky.
Morris was not.

Well said.

Slater's cover defence was great all game.

 

[betcats]

It was a good play but not up there with Scott Sattler's tackle imo.

 

[Parra Pride]

Graham's ear bite was better.

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

This.

Scott Sattlers tackle was all time. The years really do fly by. Nine f**king years ago.

And during that great moment Ray Warren's commentary was pathetic.

He simply said the ball has gone dead. No mention of Slater's effort to punch the ball dead.

Ray Warren PLEASE RETIRE!!!!!!

 

[Hutty1986]

Good defensive play. Not in the same league as the Benji flick, Sattler tackle, etc

 

[AlwaysGreen]

The bounce was horrendous, Slater made a good effort but it wasn't match defining IMO. Waqa's efforts in defence were just as good.

 

[age.s]

Thought Cameron Smith stopping Ennis 1 on 1 over the line was equally as big a play.

 

[Mr Saab]

IMO Mal Meninga doesnt get enough cred for his ankle tap on Mick Neil in the 89 GF. If Neil scores the game is over.

Not really, Morris was ruled to have knocked it on before Slater battered it over the touch line!

 

[Elektrik Shock]

The play of the GF and quite possibly the year was Widdop chasing down reynolds and forcing an error, at this stage its 4-4, dogs streaking downfield, Barba in support, he doesnt make that tackle its 10-4 dogs leading into half-time. We scored off the set after that tackle and then marched down the field again to make it 14-4 on the the stroke of half-time, which happened to be the final result. THAT was a Sattler type play.

Incorrect.

Only reason it was ruled a knock on was because slater knocked it dead after Morris had tapped it up.

If slater wasn't as close and Morris regathered it is a try.

Don't agree it's as good as Sattlers tackle though.

As has been mentioned Smith holding up ennis and widdop chasing down Reynolds were just as good as Billy's effort.
