Memorable moments

New Zealand 36 (me)
Australia 24

WORLD CUP FINAL (created comp, league god difficulty, 2x10min halves)

I was getting a bloody hiding. Australia scored their first try through a Willie Mason 80m effort. Lockyer converted. From the kick off I kicked it out on the full, and Gower managed to kick his team a further 40m up field, and Mason scored again, first tackle. Lockyer converted. So 12-0 down after 4 mins. I then kicked the ball off, and it went out on the full again #-o at which point Im furious. Gower kicks them 40 m downfield, and off the first run, Mason gets his hatrick. Lockyer converts. Then with 5 mins to go, I manage to score a try through a Matt Utai bust, and offload to Leslie Vanikolo. Robbie Paul converts.

HALF TIME: AUS 18 NZ 6

I kick off through Robbie Paul, and yep, another one out on the full. Gower kicks it out about 10m up field. Luke Rooney gets first hit up, and I smash him, causing him to lose the ball, but the ref calls it backwards, and Darren Lockyer scoops it up and scores under the posts. He converts and its 24-6. Then an amzing thing happens. I kick the ball off, and Shane Webcke drops it. From the scrumbase, I pass the ball to SB Williams (created player, off the bench at centre) who busts through Anthony Minnichello to score. Paul kicks the goal, and its 24-12 with 6 or 7 mins to go. They kick off, and I use my 5 tackles, and only get to the 30. Brent Webb gets the ball on the 5th, and kicks an amazing 40/20. Off the scrum, Webb(playing at halfback) throws a dummy, fools Minnichello, and scores under the posts. Paul converts, and its 24-18. Off the kick off, Robbie Paul draws two men, and offloads to Utai who scores after a 80m effort. Paul converts. Score 24 all. Craig Gower kicks off out on the full with 3 mins to go, and I manage to get my team up to the goal line through a great kick for touch from Paul. Lance Hohaia (playing at 9) taps and scores, Paul converts and it is 30-24 to NZ. The two teams battle it out for another 2 mins, and in the last min, Minnichello head high tackles SB Williams, who then taps the ball, busts through 3 defenders, then draws the acting fullback in (I think it was Rooney), and passes to Nigel Vagana (playing at FB) who runs 40m to score. Paul converts and NZ are crowned WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!

With one minute remaining and in planet field goal, Morrison ran across field and threw a cut out pass to Morris who took it on the fligh and ran 40 meters down the touch line with the fullback ahead he passed to his inside man, Petersen and he scored under the posts for what looked to be the winning try, Riddell converted the goal

We were at least in with a chance of winning.

 

[Deano wire till i die]

after losing my first 3 games in a wcc tourney. I scraped a 14-12 win against bradford, and comfortley beat wakefield t-w, i found my self trailing 20-0 to north queensland with only a minute before half time.
i scored a try to make the score 20-6 at half time.
in the second half i had better field pos and took advantage of well bringin' the final score to 22-20 to warrington, wth logan swann scoring the last gasp try and lee briers (the best kicker in the world) slotting over the easy convert.

I still think me getting a bloke sent off after the full-time siren is the single greatest memorable moment in the history of this game.

Finished the season in 5th place (played 24 - won 18 - lost 6 - 40 pts)

Beat the Sydney Roosters 18 - 6 in the Grand Final.

Best game was against the New Zealand Warriors. 24 nil down at halftime, i came back to draw level and won 28 - 24 in extra time.

Best try was Michael Vella's length of the field run against Wests Tigers.

 

[The Engineers Room]

I still think me getting a bloke sent off after the full-time siren is the single greatest memorable moment in the history of this game.

I had one when after a knock on I coat hangered a Roosters player and the scrum continued. It got to the end of the set, they kicked it to me then at the end of that set I kicked it dead in goal. The referee then stopped called over Ben Smith and sent him off. I thought it was some stupid call until I remembered that he had committed the foul about 2-3 minutes earlier.

 

[The Engineers Room]

Had a 40 metre forward pass from one Newcastle player to Andrew Johns. It was passed from the goal mouth to Johns who looked like he was scrambling back to get on side.

 

[Azkatro]

I just finished off a season in League God and it was actually a really good, hard difficult yet realistic enough season. Playing 7.5min halves most of the scores were close (I had 4 extra time games) and not high - winning on LG difficulty is about getting your scrambling defense in order. As good as your line defense is they will break it if they care too, so you've gotta be able to cover for breaks. I reckon I prevented about 100 tries with it throughout the season and finished 6th overall, losing 17-16 to the Warriors in the first finals match which was the end for the Cowboys.

That was using 2005 squads too and on the PC version with a controller. Probably my most memorable moment of the season was when I scored an amazing length of the field try, the only one all year (they always run you down in LG). Went through plenty of hands and came from my own line, finished off by Ty Williams.

 

[MC DUI]

Had an excellent memorable moment the other week with my mate on RL.

We had played a 20 minute game and it was 10 all with like 30 seconds to go, I was desperately keeping him out of my ingoal with tops D when a computer player gives away a headhigh meaning that all my mate had to do to win was slot the penalty in front 20m out.

So my mate lines it up as the siren sounds and I have my head in my hands, he takes the shot and hits the post! Not only did he miss but the ball falls into one of my players hands and he was off! I ran the length of the field from my own in goal to score the try and win! Man did I absolutely give it to him, it was deadset the most improbable win evar!

 

[canberra_raiders2k2]

i too had a 40+ forward pass... lol.
