Greatest NRL game ever?

[moffla]

I walked away from that feeling as though it was the greatest game of rugby league I have ever attended.

Begs the question...what game has been the best in NRL history?

 

[Zadar]

Rooster v tigers 2010.

Had it all.

 

[This Year?]

Rooster v tigers 2010.

Had it all.

That was one helluva crazy game.

 

[moffla]

Rooster v tigers 2010.

Had it all.

Very true

2008 Grand Final.

 

[footy75]

Cows v Broncos GF was thoroughly enjoyable.

 

[The_Shield]

Just some worth mentioning:

2015 Grand Final
Roosters - Tigers 2010
Storm - Broncos 2008
1999 Grand Final

There was also a game between the Roosters and Warriors a few years back now that was a cracker, can’t remember what year it was tho

My top three of would be:

Roosters vs. Warriors - 2007
Broncos vs. Cowboys - 2015 GF
Raiders vs. Tigers 1989 GF

The Warriors vs. Raiders semi in 2003 was another beauty, the intensity for 80 mins was exceptional, and the last 10 mins proved Stacey Jones’ worth as well. The best semi I’ve seen (although the Tigers/Roosters semi in 2010 was a close second).

The Raiders game where all the fans Viking clapped themselves into a frenzy pre game before Ennis created perhaps the greatest sporting moment in recent memory. Great theatre.

The 2003 grand final always comes to mind. One of the greatest ever grand finals ever played and one of the greatest individual performances in Priddis.

Cows v Broncos GF was thoroughly enjoyable.

Really? I found that game quite dour. How do you enjoy it where one team just kicks the ball into touch without trying anything for half the game.

 

[Life's Good]

Plenty to choose from(some already mentioned)but ones that stick in my memory:

Raiders v Tigers - GF 1989
Raiders v Bulldogs - SF 1994
Dragons v Sharks - SF 1999
Tigers v Roosters - SF 2010
Roosters v Manly - GF 2013

Dragons v Roosters - GF 2010 (for selfish reasons)

Agree, Brisbane stopped playing football after 50 minutes and tried to defend a four point lead against a team that had made a season out of miraculous comebacks.

That game would've been better if Linnett had caught an easy pass with the line wide open.

Dragons vs Sea Eagles @ Jubilee Oval, Round 25 2004.

I was at this game, Manly lead 24-4 at half time and was the first time I ever considered leaving before full time. Good guys came back to win 36-34. Absolute cracker of a game.

 

[mave]

40-0

No doubt some of those great Grand Finals mentioned and the Cows win in 2015 was one of them are up there, but for one of the best games I've ever seen full stop, was last night tucked away in non heartland territory.
That game had everything ,except of course a full on brawl.Never took my eyes off the screen,.always something happening, scores fluctuating ,brutal defence ,great attack,from runs, kicks,high ball.
Bleeding breathtaking stuff.
Result not known til the last minute.
Even the refs,despite a couple of 50/50 debatable calls, deserve a wrap.Minimal penalties.
Every player in that game ,deserves a minimum 8 out of 10.

And you know what, on Sunday's Offsiders,we'll get that panel of Vic AFL tragics, spending the NRL segment on an atrocity in a Rock's Pub.I'll put my house on it.

That game should be bottled in a time capsule.

Sharks V Storm 2016 GF

Cows/Brisbane GF wasn't particularly a great game but one of the all time great endings for a strong majority of the NRL fan base, if we held them out and won that game.. it doesn't cop a mention in the "greatest game" category

No shit, if a miraculous comeback doesn't happen it's not as good!

PS last night's game Suli try highlights even made the front page of Reddit.

It was a good game but let's not get carried away.
