Memorable or unusual moments?

What are some of the most memorable or unusual moments you've seen in rugby league?

There's two that stand out in my head. The first one is that rugby league player (dunno his name), who urinated on the field after the opposition got a penalty (as there were no interchanges on the bench left). The 2nd one would be the final round in 1996, Illawarra vs Western Suburbs, where there was a high kickoff and whilst the ball was in the air, a strong gust of wind virtually moved the ball backwards like a boomerang, the ball landing on the opposition 40m line (so it technically made the required 10 metres) and the player (from the side that did the kickoff) ended up retrieving the ball 10 metres behind the halfway line, LOL!

I remember when Thommo slipped before catching the ball from a tap hitting him on the head... LOL!
Also i think it was 3 years ago, Loo loo got a cut on his head and went to wipe the blood off his head onto the refs shirt. You could hear audio of the ref asking him what he was doing classic..

When Souths played the Roosters last year at Aussie Stadium, Peter Cusack put up a bomb on the last play (he had obviously never done it before) and the fullback, I think it was Sam Perrett or Amos Roberts was so suprised that they dropped it cold. That was both unusual and memorable.

Chris Beatie hitting the wrong person and decking the innocent Wayne Bartrim. His teammate put on a cheapshot in the tackle and left Bartrim at 1st marker.

Andrew Gee not releasing the ball to tap it for a 20m restart giving the roosters a penality in front of the posts to win the game.

Paul Langmack scoring a try from an unsuccessful kick at goal by Andrew Leeds against the Eels

Shaun Timmins missing a kick at goal directly in the front of the posts which would have won the Steelers the game. It went under the crossbar.

Neil Piccinelli running down the clock at the end of the game by running towards his own goal line

LOL! Yeah, I remember those. The First two are from 1997. The Shaun Timmins one was at North Sydney Oval. Never forget Andrew Voss in shock: "Timmins strikes it and..............MISSES IN FRONT! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!"

Brett Mullins famous 4 try romp (which included 2 100m tries) against the Knights in 1994 (giving him a remarkable tally of 11 tries in 3 consecutive games for him, having also scored another 4 against Souths the week before). This game established himself on the mainstage and caught the attention of every league fan. It would have to rate as one of the most famous incidents at what is now called Energy Australia Stadium, up there with the likes of El Masri's kick from the sideline.

Steve Clark: that was a ridiculous penalty.
David Kidwell: what was it for?
Steve Clark: (signals 10 minutes in the bin) just go.

Awen Guttenbeil smashing a roosters player (I think it was Cusack) and then getting in his face whilst he was still on the ground.
