Can I add a couple that were very special imo:

1996 Dragons vs Raiders in the first semi..Great game, you might remember this for the mouse trap play brownie and mundine put on for the match winner.

1996 - Dragons vs Bears in the grand final qualifier... They beat us earlier that year 42-0 at North sydney. Mundine scored an unforgettable try where he outpaced half the North sydney team to score!

Bartrim threw over an amazing side line conversion in that game as well!!!

You can find this game on the DVD mentioned in the OP. Bartrim set that Mundine try up with a fantastic offload!!! I love Barto!!!

I still have the 96 semis (and 99) on VHS tapes (BASF I believe). I watched the Norths semi so many times in the ensuing years that Ray Warren's bellowing voice during Mundine's try is burned into my brain

"Now Mundine... Mundiiiiiine! Are they gonna catch him? No I dont think so! Mundine scores!"

I remembering listening to this match on 2UE with my dad and Ray Hadley was going mental. It was the most exciting day of my life...until 1999 when we were 8 nil down against the Sharks; enter THE MAN!

Yep then we went back to back...in the next set bartrim scored after Mark "the javellin" bell regathered a goldthorpe bomb!

great days!

anyone remember the 1993 game against the dogs at the scg?

Herron from the sideline? Walford scoring 2 tries?

The atmosphere was electric!!

Haha! Great story mate. I think that is what a lot of people don't understand about following a team. It's part of growing up and creates memories. It's simply more than "just a game."

Unfortunately that game isn't on the DVD archives yet (either is the 2007 Round 4 victory over the Broncos). Also, the only grand final from the great 11 straight is the last one from 1966.

Also, I agree HOD, Coyney is a true champion and gentleman of the game. Absolute legend.

So, I've come up with seven games to tie me over for the off-season (as P&H decreases if you buy more than one DVD). Might buy one game every one or two months after that...

1966. Grand Final. St. George Dragons v Balmain Tigers
1979. Grand Final. St. George Dragons v Canterbury Bulldogs
1999. Preliminary Final. St. George Illawarra Dragons v Cronulla Sharks
2009. Round 4. Brisbane Broncos v St George Illawarra Dragons
2010. Round 26. St. George Illawarra Dragons v South Sydney Rabbitohs
2011. World Club Challenge. St. George Illawarra Dragons v Wigan Warriors
2011. Round 16. St. George Illawarra Dragons v Manly Sea Eagles


1999 semi against the sharks......

The one thing that I remember about this game the most...

After Mundine scored his 2nd try he called over to David Peachy held up two fingers and said " hey peach...peach....that's 2" and walked off.

Took that game by the scruff of the neck.

And then Manson and Manly f#*ked us in the GF.
Seriously ,how good was 1996 where grub Reddy left us for the money and Waite took over just before the start of the season and took us all the way to the GF.
