September 17 19**, St George 9 - ***** 9. What is the statistical oddity about this game?

(If you dont get this first Willow I'll be shocked.

)

 

[Kiwi]

It was september 17, 1977, St George 9 drew with Parramatta 9 in front of 65,959 fans and it was the first ever drawn grand final.

[Willow]

Got in before me Kiwi, whats your question Mr stats man?

 

[Kiwi]

Name the player that played in consecutive grand finals for two different teams between 1980 and 2000? Hope there isn't more than one. This should be easy.

 

[Willow]

A 'fast money' guess.
Glenn 'the large slow moving one' Lazaruz ?

[Kiwi]

yep lazo it is, told ya it would be easy

 

[Willow]

OK. Still in the same theme (I have no idea why I want to bring this up)....

We all know that it was Jamie Ainscough who, in the 1999 grand final, took out a Melbourne player with a high tackle, resultingin a penalty try and a win to the Storm.

The question, another very easy one...
Whichplayer was awarded the penalty try?

 

[Kiwi]

wasn't it storm winger craig smith?

Don't even know if i got the name right ... lol

 

[Willow]

Yep

I asked this question while out to dinner one night last week. While everyone knew it was Jamie Ainscough who went high, hardly anyone knew that it Craig Smith that was knocked out when 'scoring' the winning try.
A strange thing. Its a grand final that will remember for the one that was lost, not won.
Your turn...

 

[Kiwi]

Who scored the most tries in a grand final and what year was it and how many?

 

[El Duque]

Johnny Graves 4 in 1951 for Souths

 

[Kiwi]

yep el...spot on

 

[El Duque]

Damn,now I have to think of a question.

Give me a minute.

 

[El Duque]

Whatdid was a weird anomaly of Matt Geyer's pont scoring in 1999??

Don't know if it was a first.

 

[Bomber]

or
He's never kicked a goal since?
