Favorite Shoulder Charge Of All Time?

[Different kind of Rabbit]

Sandow on Inglis.

Interesting question regarding this one...

Under the new rules, would this hit be illegal? If it happens in 2013, I think Sandow both ends up on his arse and gives away a penalty. lol.

Wally Lewis, Eden Park , Auckland.

Dunno who the poor sod Kiwi was who copped it

 

[Yoda]

Harragon v Carroll from the mid-90's. A shoulder charge fuelled by hate was a wonderful thing.

burgess on fui fui was'nt a shoulder charge though


fui just ran into a 18 year old brick wall :lol:

Was at this game. Fckn thought he was dead for a second.

And the Lewis on Brendan Tuutu was venomous.

 

[THE CHAMP]

Gavin Allen on Harragon Origin game. Not sure what year but it was massive. Harragon still getting over it.

 

[Nerd]

Wally Lewis on Tuutu? during a test in NZ. I think was just before half time but changed the momentum of the game.

 

[Mr Saab]

Teo on Groat.
Wally smashed Daryl Williams in 1989....not Tuuta

 

[Lambretta]

Adrian Morley on Richard Villasanti in the 2002 Grand Final is a personal fave - not because it was such a massive hit, but more because of the lift it gave the whole team.

From that point onwards the Warriors weren't in the game again.

 

[Danish]

Morley absolutely destroyed Jason King and then Steve Matai in back to back hits in 2005.

I remember there was actually some articles in the week previous complaining about shoulder charges but then everyone collectively orgasmed over those hits and all the talk went away :lol:

EDIT: video of the hit - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l852c8mEIOE

 

[Special K]

SBW on Clinton is the first that comes to mind. So epic considering Clinton kept going and SBW stood his ground.

New Personal fav has to be Wade Graham belting Hoffman twice in a 5 minute period as if he stole something. edit and I forgot about his belter on Beale and Poms shoulder also - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gexw75jDNYI what a game for the sharks this one was!

or kidwell on mason!? or pritchard on hunt!? geez how can they get rid of it!

 

[Loudstrat]

Olsen Filipaina on Wally - more than once. The Frank Pritchard "traitor" hit on cutie was a classic as well.

Tahu is a merkin, but this is the best hit I have ever seen. I was working in the bar on the hill at the time and I heard all the way from there.

I don't believe there are Rugby League fans that think nothing will be lost. Makes me sick.

This one came to mind, mainly because it would be absolutely stupid if this was given a penalty in 2013. :crazy: Sadly it probably would be.

A large part of the game will be lost if the decision is carried out. Shoulder charges don't happen often, but when they do they light up the game every bit as much as a length of the field try.

If they decide to go ahead with this, which I have my doubts over, then they will soon realise their mistake when people vote with their feet and stop watching.

Other codes must be f**king creaming their pants over this decision. It's utterly moronic.

Penalty. Hit him in the chest but no attempt at leading with anything but the shoulder. 5 weeks as well.

A high shot, just like Dwyer's on JWH. Neither were penalized for some strange reason.

 

[roughyedspud]

thats cos it's not f**king netball!!

I know the game will be *mostly* the same.. but I can't help just feeling gutted over this. If it goes through, I don't think I'll ever see the game of Rugby League the same way again.
