Harragon v Carroll

[The Engineers Room]

I think Luke Covell is taking votes away from the Spud.

Who remembers when Spud (playing for Souths), laid out one of the Warriors on the opening tackle of the match? The match stopped for a few minutes as he was stretchered off, and didn't return. IIRC I think it was Lomax.

The following week Souths played North Qld. In the week leading up to the game, Lomax's older brother was quoted in the press saying that he was going to take revenge on Spud.

Souths kicked off, Lomax took the first hitup, and Spud knocked him out. Lomax came on later in the second half, but couldn't continue.

Spud easy in my opinion, do u guys all remember the clash???

 

[Dr Crane]

You know, Luke Covell only made it into the poll because I accidentally selected 4 options.

chief

One clash does not make a better player.

Chief.

 

[Misanthrope]

How the hell is this even close?

 

[_Johnsy]

according to many one mistimed hit means a player is owned by the player he mistimed the hit on. amazing really.

Well considering it was Carroll raising his elbow slightly that knocked Chief out i don't think it's fair to say Carroll 'owned' Chief. If you don't believe me watch it on slow mo, you'll see that Carroll raises his arm and Chiefs head smashes into Carrolls elbow/Shoulder. Caroll flinched when he saw the Chief coming at 40 km/h!

Considering chief fell backwards form the KO elbow and Carroll actually went flying from chiefs shoulder i'd say Chief hit Carroll with more grunt in that tackle.

On Origin form - Chief is first forward picked for NSW in any all time great side. Chief was what Origin was all about. No one set the platform for a brutal Origin game quite like Chief.

I remember Webcke smashing Carroll in Origin, absolutely flattened him. Check the youtube big hits video, it's on there.

chief was easily more consistant but when carroll got fired up there were few more destructive front rowers in the mid 90s. still love seeing the footage of that friday night at marathon.

That was David Lomax, and he never played for the Warriors.

Thankfully I have most manly newcastle games on vid/dvd

there were many occasions where these 2 men had great clashes. The most remembered is the game in 1995. In the first couple of minutes harragaon and carroll got into "a punch up". Harragon won the fight hands down!

Later there was the tackle where chief got knocked out. In the scrum before the kickoff, carroll headbutted harragon when harragon had his back turned. Carroll than told chief to run at him. From that massive clash, carroll ended up with 2 broken ribs and harragon was concussed, although he did continue playing after he was knocked out.

In the 1997 semi final, harragon brought the ball off his try line and carroll try tackling him. carroll was run over and fell to the ground a couple of times trying to get back onside as he was knocked out.

In the grand final carroll did a hitup off a tap and harragon SMASHED him! carroll played the poor in a terrible way and the knights got the penalty.

I can't think of any other time carroll did anything major to get one back up on harragon.

I have the game on dvd where spud owned him. But its a close one spud infront by one vote.
While we are asking random questions What the f**k is a novacastrian? Its been pissing me off for a long time.

 

[JJ]

I think there are a few (approx 37) here with rose coloured glasses regarding Spud

a Novocastrian is your superior.


I cant believe this is even close - Spud was good, but Chief was a great.

I cant believe this is even close - Spud was good, but Chief was a great.

If the poll is about pure ability then the chief bolts in,but if it is based on clashes between the pair then spud by a badly bruised nose.

Chief 39
