Curious

[Hooper]

I am sorry if this one has been posted previously. I am just curious as to what the best game of football is that you have seen a Sharks side play. Some might say it was when we put 60 on Manly in 2005 or 60 on Newcastle in 2002 or came back from 18-0 down at half time against the Cowboys and won last year.

For mine, the best game of footy that a Sharks 1st grade side has played would be the play off for 5th spot on the Tuesday night against the Brisbane Broncos back in 1989. I was lucky enough to be at Parramatta Stadium that night and see the boys play. Great memories!

knights game was the best to be at... 42-0 at half time all tries scored pretty much right infront of me

 

[blacktip-reefy]

89 was an absolute cracker

That's my favorite game of all time.

The stunned look on Andrew Johns face was priceless.

The wrecking ball run of Paul Mellor which finished in a try was very funny.

the hiding we gave manly in the mid 2000's.
remember it well because it was my birthday and was watching at the club with a heap of manly fans who all pretty much left at half time.

I'm pretty sure a young Besty would have been playing on the wing in that game, Langy's last year at the Sharks, before the Anderson 'dark ages'!:roll:

Home game in 88 shortly before the semi's v's Caturbury.. Really hard game, both good teams smashing each other to bits, Bulldogs up by 2 with 5mins to go. Barry Russell gets the ball from the scrumbase and shoots around in a brilliant run with the defense just caught napping for a milli second to score a try underneath the posts. Big crowd errupted. Happy days.

was that the game that terry lamb belted speechley?

There is only one game I am dreaming of now. And it is in the future (I hope)

 

[Pig Champion]

Belting the knights was special but the comeback at brookie to actually end up flogging them was even better. Was there, my only time. At half time it was very depressing and that was just the fact they stopped serving full strength beer. Sometime in the early 2000's maybe. It's all a blur.

A bit of an odd one. Round 4, 1990, Caltex Field, Sharks 8 - Raiders 7.

Was your classic arm wrestle type game against THE Raiders team. ET scored at the death to win it (with an Alan Wilson conversion). He was ambling sideways across the defensive line, then just hit the afterburners and sliced through at an angle from about 15 out to score under the posts. One of my most cherished ET memories. I remember our mate Ricky being quite bitter about it too :lol:

Our team that day (thanks fluff forum)

i'm sure that was the sat arvo game on abc tv.
remember it vividly-thinking we'll never get this and, hey presto, et dives over!

 

[Plastered]

Yeah I'm amazed we won any games with Laurie Spina at half, although we did have the best ball playing 2nd rower of all time in the team. Also notice the 3 prop front row.
