This week, we look back at three classic fixtures featuring players who scored four tries in a game.

Select your option in the poll at the bottom of the page, and the match with the most votes by 11pm on Monday, February 8, will go to air on Fox Sports 3HD and Fox Sports 3 at 8.30pm (EDT) the following day, Chooseday.

So get voting and chune in next Chooseday to watch one of the following memorable rugby league games.

Craig Gower
Penrith v Northern Eagles, round 25, 2000
This was a huge game for the seventh-placed Panthers, who were looking to consolidate their spot in the top eight. The Eagles, meanwhile, had suffered an extremely disappointing first year, but they had defeated Penrith 27-16 in round three. Craig Gower shone throughout the season, and this clash with New South Wales incumbent Geoff Toovey was viewed as an ideal opportunity to push his claims for inclusion in the Rugby League World Cup squad. Gower played all but two games in 2000 at No.9, and this record-breaking effort was an example of why he won Dally M Hooker of the Year award.

Adam MacDougall
Warriors v Newcastle Knights, round 20, 2001
The Knights were sitting comfortably in fourth place on the ladder, while the Warriors were one point outside the top eight. And the Warriors' 45-24 hammering in round seven meant the New Zealand side had recorded just one win from their past eight encounters with Newcastle. Adam MacDougall had been a key member of the victorious New South Wales side that swept Queensland in State of Origin. He scored 14 tries in 2001, the highlight being this round 20 contest. The popular winger known as Mad Dog equalled Darren Albert's club record of four tries in a match, displaying his trademark strength.

Denan Kemp
Brisbane Broncos v Parramatta, round 12, 2008
Brisbane were fourth on a compressed ladder, just two points from the lead, with Parramatta 11th, just two points further back. The Broncos' six rep players were well-rested after a bye, but there were doubts over skipper Darren Lockyer after he had missed State of Origin I with a knee injury. In an incident-packed game rated one of the best of the season, the try-scoring performance of Denan Kemp was largely overlooked. But he became the fifth Brisbane player to score four times in a match. He crossed for 19 tries in 2008, many a result of his brilliant pace.

Fox Sports is giving you the chance to play program director, by choosing which classic rugby league match you want to see each week on Chooseday Night Football.

This week, we look back at three classic fixtures featuring standout performances from that year's Dally M Medallist.

Select your option in the poll at the bottom of the page, and the match with the most votes by 11pm on Monday, February 22, will go to air on Fox Sports 3HD and Fox Sports 3 at 6pm (EDT) the following day, Chooseday.

So get voting and chune in next Chooseday to watch one of the following memorable rugby league games.

Cast your vote in the poll at the bottom of this page.

Preston Campbell
Sharks v Broncos, round 24, 2001
With three rounds remaining, only one point separated these sides fighting for a top four position. Broncos captain Gorden Tallis and halfback Scott Prince were part of a massive injury toll and it was no surprise to see them lose four in a row. In contrast, the Sharks had won seven from eight and a big reason for their success was the outstanding form of Preston Campbell. The mid-season gamble of moving him to half proved a masterstroke and his brilliance in attack was a catalyst for many big scorelines. The 2001 Dally M Medal is a fitting inclusion on the resume of an amazing player who has defied the odds for someone considered too small and played 228 games in the NRL.

Andrew Johns
Roosters v Knights, round five, 2002
Newcastle's title defence was looking strong. They were unbeaten after four rounds stretching their winning streak to nine games. Following a convincing start against Souths the Roosters had lost three in a row and injuries left them severely depleted for this match. Surprisingly, the game hung in the balance and the Knights turned to the genius of Andrew Johns in search of a club record 10th straight win. Throughout 2002, Johns displayed his vast array of skills and was the standout performer of 2002. Johns became the first and only player to ever win three Dally M Medals by season¿s end.

Cameron Smith
Storm v Cowboys, round 10, 2006
To the victor of this clash would go the outright ladder lead. A game full of wonderful attack and punishing defence ensued. Although the Storm's campaign ultimately ended in grand final disappointment, the team dominated the regular season, claiming their first minor premiership by eight points. In a team of stars, Cameron Smith was the perfect fit as hooker. His ability to consistently contribute in numerous areas of play provided a great platform for success. To cap a terrific season, he became only the second hooker to win the Dally M Medal and he also made his debut for Australia.

As we're all counting the days, hours & minutes until the Eels v Dragons game on Friday night, here's something to fill the appetite. Bulldogs v Knights for me, so many talking points.

Fox Sports is giving you the chance to play program director, by choosing which classic rugby league match you want to see each week on Chooseday Night Football.

This week, we look back at three classic round-one fixtures.

Select your option in the poll at the bottom of the page, and the match with the most votes by 11pm on Monday, March 8, will go to air on Fox Sports 2HD and Fox Sports 2 at 8.30pm (EDT) the following day, Chooseday.

So get voting and chune in next Chooseday to watch one of the following memorable rugby league games.

Cast your vote in the poll at the bottom of this page.

North Queensland Cowboys v Brisbane Broncos, 2001
The sides had met on nine occasions, but the Cowboys were yet to taste victory in this Queensland derby. They had gone close on two occasions, however, with draws in 1997 and 1999. Could they kick-start the 2001 season with a maiden win over their big brother? This shaped as a mismatch, with the reigning premiers taking on the wooden spooners of 2000, but five lead changes proved otherwise. Also, typically humid conditions in Townsville and alterations to the interchange rule favoured the locals.

Sharks v Melbourne Storm, 2003
The Storm entered 2003 with Craig Bellamy as their new coach after missing the finals in back-to-back seasons. And their first assignment was a trip to Toyota Park, where they had lost three in a row. Adding to the intrigue was the combination of Sharks coach Chris Anderson and skipper Brett Kimmorley, who were an integral part of Melbourne's grand final triumph in 1999. Keep an eye out for a 19-year-old ex-jockey named Billy Slater on debut.

Newcastle Knights v Bulldogs, 2007
There had already been numerous memorable encounters between these rivals, but an amazing combination of twists and turns in this blockbuster left the fans breathless. Many folk thought the game would be decided by a brilliant display from either Andrew Johns or Sonny Bill Williams, but an incident in the fourth minute saw both players leave the field and take no further part. The remaining 76 minutes contained a dominant first-half performance, a whirlwind comeback and a late field goal to claim the two points.

I still don't think SBW deserved to be sent off for what he did. He should have been given a medal.

The Raiders finished the job on Bargearse two weeks later by thrashing the Knoughts 48-18 to send him into retirement like the loser scumbag that he is.

:lol: I know it must hurt that the Raiders haven't had a player anywhere near as great as Joey in the last decade, but the man's retired now. Deal with it!

After last Sunday's game, it's ironic that tonight's game has controversy involving Manly & touch judges ( round 23, 2006 Newcastle v Manly )

Yep.

The final was an even better match.

Newcastle were a very entertaining team to watch that year. The amount of close-good games they played in was amazing.

It's a shame they didn't have their full contingent in the preliminary final against the Broncos. Would've made for a much better game, much like their previous 32-30 clash.

I think the snow game deserves to win this time....

This week, we offer a second chance at seeing three matches that have been previously offered but out-voted.
Cast your vote in the poll at the bottom of this page.
Select your option in the poll at the bottom of the page, and the match with the most votes by 11pm on Monday, March 29, will go to air on Fox Sports 2HD and Fox Sports 2 at 9.30pm (EDT) the following day, Chooseday.

So get voting and chune in next Chooseday to watch one of the following memorable rugby league games.

Canberra v Wests Tigers, round 17, 2000
Canberra Stadium looked more like a mid-season NFL or Barclays Premier League venue as this memorable match was played in snow. Incredibly, over 7000 people were in attendance to witness this historic game that saw snowballs thrown amongst the crowd and even at television commentators. But almost forgotten in the bizarre weather was the absolute thriller contested by players that overcame frostbite with half-time showers. Would Canberra, led by Laurie Daley, adapt better to the unique weather as they confronted the second-placed Wests Tigers?

Parramatta v Cronulla, round two, 2001
In extreme heat at Parramatta Stadium, Cronulla squared off against the eventual minor premiers in a week that had been full of drama. With John Lang announcing he would depart the club at season's end and Mat Rogers ruled out for the year with a shoulder injury the odds were stacked against the Sharks. Parramatta had opened their campaign with a 40-4 defeat of Penrith and hadn't lost to Cronulla at home since 1995 - but this would be a tussle to the end.

Penrith v Newcastle Knights, round 16, 2005
Penrith had beaten Newcastle Knights only once in their previous nine matches at home, but they were still hot favourites as the Knights had failed to cope with a massive injury toll. To make matters worse, the Knights' 13 consecutive losses marked the worst start to a season since Eastern Suburbs' run in 1966. But 10 days after leading New South Wales to victory in State of Origin II, a rejuvenated Andrew Johns would prove inspirational for Newcastle.
