I yesterday got a tape from a great PARRA mate of mine. It was the season in which we played the Dogs in the Semis, and we were leading but ended up losing (can't remember the year right now).

Anyway, I jave seena few guys make fun of a certain Paul Cariage. I never quite knew why.

After seeing this guy play, I know why. For instance, there was a play where on the last tackle, about 25 out, the Dogs put up a bomb sailing towards the touchline. Instead of leaving it and letting it go into touch or waiting for a Dogs player to pick it up, our 'valiant hero' jumps up, catches the ball and lands MILLIMETRES within the touchline. The look on the Dogs winger was priceless, as he stared at this guy and then proceeded to knock him into touch and regain possession.

Ladies and Gentlemen - I can now see why this guy was the butt of so many, many jokes.

God forbid we ever see anyone like him at Parramatta again.

I remember Sterlo saying like "I've seen some stupid things on the football field in my time but that takes the cake" or somethig along those lines.

It was definately one not to remember.

I my memory of that game is right, didn't he kick or something....maybe even a drop kick....with like....1 minute left on the clock, inside our own twenty with EVERY one of his team mates in front of him?

That Paul Cariage incident was quite incredible. Did he ever play first grade again after that?

I just couldn't believe it!

I mean he was playing at the back three and he just had no idea about what to do!

The guy may have had heart or whatever, but damn! That is like under 6's stuff!

On the up side....and given we are playing newcastle this week.

I remember him scoring a cracking try out of dummy half against newcastle, running about 60 metres, scoring at the southern end of parramatta stadium.

There was also night night game v the tigers at Leichardt when he had blue hair.

Cariage stopped a certain Hancock try the game before the Dogs semi. He might of even been MOTM that game :shock:

Still funny to think of the goose running into Dymock at Newcastle :lol:

Don't quote me Fish Eel but I think the try you are referring to was aginst Canberra.
Unfortunately the poor performances deffinently outwayed the good ones.

One of my personal favorites was against the Broncs (i think). When he made a pass after a kick return. Cannot exactly recall the details but the pass went sailing over the head of the intended receiver and was scooped up by the opposition to score the easiest try you could imagine. #-o

That's right the Dogs semi was not a "bad game" #-o

Nah, it was against Newcastle at Parra.

TThat pass was also v Newcatle at Newcastle unless he did it in two games which wouldn't surprise me :lol:

You may be right Freak. Might have been Canberra. In any case, I know he scored a screamer from dummy half and fire and damnation to anyone that tries to take it away from! :evil: :evil:

I think it was a game against the Knights too. If I recall correctly, he went into dummy half out wide and wanted to get quick deliver to the only attacker in position(play was still broken following a kick), the fullback. In his enthusiasm he passed, no he lobbed, the ball a clear 2 metres over the fullback's head. Opposing team simply run through .... 3 letters, 4 points: TRY !

I remember cause the next week the fullback got dropped, but he keep his spot no worries !!!!

He was the biggest heart attack material ever, Wise doesn't even come close.

No body could be worse than Carige Dvd, Kat doesn't even come close. He may drop the ball however he doesn't have the same brain explosions Dr Strangemind used to! :lol:

Give him time. He can't tackle and always comes in to take the winger and misses. Lucky Lockyer threw the ball over the sideline a few times.

funny thing about that try, fish eel.......

I was on the half way line, eastern side behind the disabled section that day (undoubtedly the best place to stand and watch the game at Parra Stadium) and we really needed something to happen. So I started screaming at the top of ym lungs, "I wanna see some ACTION!" (Action was his nickname) and I just kept screaming it over and over, at the top of my lungs.

Carige looks up to see who the hell is yelling at him, and looks straight at me. I just started BELLOWING at him "Action! Action! I wanna see some ACTION!"

Next thing you know he scoops the ball and scores that spectacular try! When he runs back I'm screaming at him, and he just gives the little flip of the hand to me and I go nuts. This chick coppa is just looking at me as if I'm crazy, and I swear I nearly grabbed her and kissed her. She just said, "Enjoy that, did ya?"

Ran into him one day in 2000 on Anzac Parade and talked crap for a while. Brought that up and he remembered it well.

hehe, funyn stuff.
