Best: Nothing can beat 97, seems to be forgotten these days what massive underdogs we were, I didn't think we'd get within 10! 01 was fantastic as well, although I did expect us to win that time around (our record with Johns playing that season was almost perfect).
Also in 2001 I saw my first game at the ground, Knights vs Warriors at Ericsson. It was a top game for entertainment, Knights won, and loitering around after the game I got invited into the dressing room! Can still remember walking round getting autographs and chatting to all these players I'd only ever seen on the telly before that day, it was unreal.
Worst: I don't know how any Knights fan could not put the 2000 GF qualifier vs the Roosters here, I was down for months afterwards. I thought we were shoe-ins before the game, we had it in the bag at halftime, we were sending off Butterfield, Matty Johns, Shiels, Fairleigh and Rauhihi, and it turned to custard in 5 minutes. Still have it on tape, rewatched it a few months ago, got me so mad haha.
This year sucked too, but it was more a slow realisation that it was all over and we were hopeless ... not the sudden bullet in the stomach of 2000!
