Classic finals matches - not including grand finals

What a game that was. haha was that the same one where Witt taunted the Storm chasers before he put the ball down for the match-winner and nearly f*cked it up?

haha yeah. Well he didn't really "nearly f*ck it up" as it was a perfectly executed "taunt and put down", but could've been embarrassing :lol:

Would try to find a good video but can't at work atm.

2011 semi Warriors def. Tigers.
This is without a doubt, the most obvious attempt by referee to get a team over the line I have seen. Every 50/50 call went Tigers way, & some of the penalties against NZ were ridiculous. Marshall running it on the last with a few minutes to go. Mateo's try was the most ungodly try in history. It was sweet justice. The haka in the crowd. Farah crying. 'twas great.

Mateo or Inu? I think Mateo scored a nice try off a Johnson pass, but you're probably thinking about Inu's match-winner? Although I seem to recall Sterlo going nuts about Johnson's pass for Mateo's try as well.

'held'

'Trent I called held!'

One thing that comes to mind about us beating the Storm in 2011 was Maloney's try off a sweet Michael Luck short ball. Deadset must've been the only time that sort of play came off for Luck in his whole career.

My mates and I always used to have a thing about Luck and so we always watched what he was up to during any Warriors game, even when he didn't have the ball, provided lots of laughs especially when he tried to chime in with some ball play.

Was a good ball to Maloney though.

Yep Luck continuously getting the ball when the Warriors were on the attack became way beyond a joke, but you still sorta had to laugh as a Warriors fan.

Todd Lowrie has taken over the mantle now and can't seem to get away from the ball.

Sorry, you're right, it was Inu.

Yeah that was a great game.

From the vault, norths v Canberra 1994 when John Lomax got sent off early and the bears looked heade to their first grand final in about 67 million years. Then Gary Larson got sent too and the green machine rolled on through.

 

[Dogs Of War]

1994 Semi Final : Bulldogs vs Raiders. 19-18 to the Dogs, was an awesome match.

Roosters Broncos Prelim in 2002.

Had the same feeling as the Rooster game on the weekend. Few more tries, but man it was just so tight and tense - very similar to last week.

All time though is the 2000 prelim against the Knights. Nothing further needs to be said on that one.

1994 Semi Final : Bulldogs vs Raiders. 19-18 to the Dogs, was an awesome match.

This. Westley scores to take the Raiders into extra time and that merkin Polla Mounter kicked a field goal from memory to sink us.

It was Halligan wasn't it?
And then he climbed into the grandstand US Open tennis style?

 

[Patorick]

Twas Halligan.

 

[legend]

Yep, sorry about that. It was Halligan.

Anyone want to go back as far as the Newtown v Manly brawl in 1981?

Eels v Dragons in 84 when Rogers was playing for Saints, and one of his classic games. Grothe try in the last minute got us home as I recall. Who remembers that?
