Best game ever.

I was sat on me Pat Malone in the Opher Tavern in Orange watching this game. 'Had a Saints cap on and got some serious grief from some bum, bar-flies, who had watched the score blow out, they were giving me some real jive, but showing no interest in the game. I gave them some jive as I left....

Barfly: So how'd it end-up champ?

Big Norm : Kiss my arse, buddy. And get a job.

The only other regular season game that comes close was a win over West's at Jubilee in about '89 or '90 when Walford (the fully blown freak) went 95mts and under the Jubilee end crossbar. I'm pretty Noelly Goldthorpe played lock for the maggies that day

Those who left early deserve an uppercut. That was one of the best times to be with the Army on the Hill ever!!

I nearly left. The guys I went with all piked and went home.
Thank Tinga I didn't; he was firing up the team I, and I was ashamed and headed back onto the hill.

Best match I've attended. The army was going off.

I even wrote a 2 bit forum sevens piece for it.

 

[Daniel Dragons]

What a great game!!! Good to see Creagh, Young, Cooper, Head, Hornby running around as youngsters! Except Hornby was owned by Watmough multiple times...

Love Timmins' agro too. He's a champion!

I did notice that there was HEAPS of contact around the head and neck back then! The game seemed much rougher.

 

[Doug2234]

Yeah a fair bit of head and neck contact hey. Also good to see Tingha.

How many people walked out with 30 min left on the clock was crazy. Dead set a thousands walked out

I watched this game on Fox live and you just knew the Dragons were going to come back. It was only a few weeks after Manly had conceded 72 at Penrith. The Dragons were just appalling until they came to life in the second half, and then they were just scintillating.

They did exactly the same a couple of weeks later, conceding 24 start in 17 minutes at Penrith in the 4 vs 5 final. Always looked like overcoming a depleted Penrith but couldn't quite do it, and were eliminated from 5th. St George looked complacent in the second half, as if they thought they would overrun the opposition as they had Manly, and indeed it took a mighty defensive effort to hold them out. Of course being a Panthers man this match appeals rather more than the Manly one.

I thought the Dragons had the winning of the comp in them that year, but there was something of an attitude problem, in particular they didn't seem to respect their opposition, and several times gave away huge starts.

what a match first time i've seen it, gee watmough got a few high shots in, good to see browny on the sidelines with hair, the only annoying thing was daley's commentary, sounded like nails scratching a blackboard.

 

[TheFrog]

No matter what team you support, there is one thing we all agree....Laurie Daley is a sh*te commentator, to say the least.

 

[Doug2234]

Daley and Warren Smith were both confirming the game was over with 30 minutes to go!!!

 

[SN0WMAN]

First home game I went to after shortly moving here to the country. Got my dickhead face square on TV jumping up and down like a spastic, and walked around the pub the next arvo, with the "I saw you on TV!!" comments. lol

 

[God-King Dean]

I was doing the scoreboard for this game. The hardest 209 minutes of work I've ever done. :lol:

The blacklock flip at the end of the game was icing on the cake.
