which CLUB game would you like to see again?

[Holla if ya hear me]

1-The victory over Bris.last year was our Grand Final
2-The Knights /Manly game when Harrogan and Carrol tore into each other
3-Knights/Canberra beat the Canberra Raiders with Stuart/Meninga lead team where Mark Sargent scored 3! tries
4-Balmain with Pearce/Roach/Jack etc-We were trying to make our first semi which we ended up drawing for 5th place and were beaten in a week game.I remember sitting on the Dry hill and seeing people standing 13/ 14 deep across.Damn there was no room that day
5-Early years Knights /Bris-bris won 10-8 BUT Glenn Miller dived over in the corner and we thought we had won{pre video ref}.I swear to the dying day he got there before the post but there you go!
Wayne Bennett said it was also one of the best club games ever seen{back then-approx1989?}
So...what games to you recall the most?

 

[antonius]

The Knights/Dogs game where El kicked the winning goal on fulltime would take some beating for mine. The most satisfying would be the semi when we absolutely flogged the Goosters at Marathon, Freddy went home with his tail between his legs that day. I loved it.

 

[11Straight]

I liked the Saints/Newcastle game from 99 where you guys had it won in the final 5 then saints snatched it from you with a minute to go and then Darren albert snatching it back in the last couple of seconds.

 

[thuganomics]

Im with antonius. Most satisfying was the Broncoes 44-0 smashing and The Canberra Stadium game in 2001 when Finch kicked it out on the full.

My absolute favorite and one which I am still in awe of was the game against the Bronco's where both teams were minus their Origin players....The Bronc's were something like 18 to 0 in the first half and the young Knight's won the game in the second half hmmmm something like 24-18 ?? The atmosphere at the ground was the most amazing I have ever witnessed....I remember a week later going to the stadium to watch NSW absolutely hammer the QLDer's 52- something there was something like 70,000 fans at that game and the atmosphere was nothing compared to the game at Marathon the week earlier with only 20,000 fans.
The only thing I'd change about the Knight's V Bronco's game would be that I'd sit at the opposite end of the stadium as all the tries were scored at the opposite end to where I was sitting!

I remember that But the bad thing was it got over shadowed by the Panthers tigers match. Cause there was An even bigger comeback in that game.

 

[Simplycheeky]

You could be right there thug..... But the atmosphere at the ground that day was something I'd never forget....that and the "Senior" players making a guard ofhonour for the young guys as they came back to the dressing room after the game.

 

[thuganomics]

i cant remember What year was this?

 

[stevo]

last years lang park game. I was lucky enough to go to it but got caught up in the whole, holy crap we might win this one, to actually remember to much of it. Too emotional about being there i think. Same thing happened at the 2001 GF. Can't remember very much of it either.

Mel vs St Geo 99 GF

 

[Jaime_Koeppe_Is_Hot]

2000
Newcastle Knights 26 Def Brisbane Broncos 22 at Marathon Stadium
The Broncs led at half time 22-4 and our boys won the 2nd half 22-0, It was a superb effort!

 

[thuganomics]

I really liked the Sharks vs knights game in 2001 in the finals.

 

[keeney]

the first 60 minutes of the rd 21 game v cowboys last year was pretty memorable, and noone seems to ahve mentioned it

 

[Misanthrope]

Anyone remember a game against Parramatta in 1999 or 2000 where we came back with two late tries (one a little dubious) to win 26-23 or something?

I'd love to see that one again.

Probably the most entertaining game I've seen in recent years was when Melbourne came back to beat Parramatta 30-28 in 2002. What a nail-biter.

2-The Knights /Manly game when Harrogan and Carrol tore into each other

I was at that game on that Friday night back in 1995 when there was 32,000+ at EAS and it felt like being in a sardine tin.

Probaly also our 2 Grand Finals. They were something really special especially in 1997 Darren Albert score that try in the dying seconds. and I leaped out of my seat for joy.

I was asked if I cried when we won the '97 Grand Final by a number of people I know. I didn't but I did pour a bucket of water over my head.

Mel vs St Geo 99 GF

This was another fantasic game as well. I was lucky enough to be there when there was 105,000 at the Olympic stadium. I'm still in awe of that atmosphere.

Most satisfying was the Broncoes 44-0 smashing

I was smiling from ear to ear that night. If I remember right that was the game where Joey made a come back from a long stint on the sideline from injury and we broke a losing streak as well.

Seems alot of these games I've listed I was lucky enough to be at.

 

[thuganomics]

Your right the joey came back to injury, and i remember seeing a sign that said FINALLY GOD HAS COME BACK TO MARATHON!

 

[~bedsy~]

Our first win in Brissie last yr was a great one. Also when we beat the Dragons in the dying seconds from Joey's kick at the sideline.

 

[Misanthrope]

I derived a great amount of pleasure from the game against Canberra were Finch tried to produce a match-stealing play, kicked it out on the full, and let Joey kick us home to a 22-20 win.

5-Early years Knights /Bris-bris won 10-8 BUT Glenn Miller dived over in the corner and we thought we had won{pre video ref}.I swear to the dying day he got there before the post but there you go!
Wayne Bennett said it was also one of the best club games ever seen{back then-approx1989?}

I remember that one. I was only very young and it happened right in front of me and he grounded it and rolled his arm over the ball and onto the corner post. There was no way he could've hit the post before grounding it.

I also remember Rex Mossip's commentary on the incident back when channel 9 only had the 60 minute spot for Sunday games... he said, "It was very close" when it was clearly the wrong call.

:lol:

If we're having a game over, I'd like to re-do the 95 major semi against Manly. We had that one, only inexperience cost us. Just as heartbreaking as the 2000 semi.

The Knights/Dogs game where El kicked the winning goal on fulltime would take some beating for mine.

totally! i would love to go back to that game...i know we lost but it was the best game ive ever been to!
