Love the 1997 ARL Grand final between the knights and manly.

My fav regular season game would be knights vs dragons at aussie stadium in 1999 or 2000, cant remember the year, but the lead changed 3 or 4 times in the last few minutes.

Beating Parra at Parra stadium in 2000 in front of 20000, Down 12-0 at halftime a great comback win 18-16 with the parra kick from the sideline going just wide after the fulltime hooter.

This might sound dumb as a "favourite game" but losing to Penrith 32-31. For a 15 minute period after half time thats the best ive ever seen my team play, scored some stunning long distance tries. They then decided to play the worst they have ever played for the last 20. It was an epic though.

1994 semi-final Raiders v Bulldogs. The Raiders lost in extra time after having 2 or 3 shots at field goals hitting the post (of course, we had our vengeance two weeks later :D).

2000 Semi vs Knights. 16 nil down at halftime. That prick Darren Albert playing up to the camera thinking they were already through to the GF. Well they wouldve been but for one of the best halves of football you'll ever see by an individual from Fredy Fittler. The highlight being the intercept off an Andrew Johns pass. Also Luke Philllips amazing tackle on Sean Rudder. What a game!

Grand Final: Broncos vs St George 1993.

Origin: Game 3 2001- alfies comeback.

Regular Season: 2002 round 7- Broncos 18-Knights 12 (Broncos were behind and were so gonna lose then tallis got sin binned and the crowd fully went nuts and the broncos fired up and went on to beat the unbeaten knights to go top of the league and we shouted abuse at knights fans the whole way home and it was awesome to see 35 year old alfie langer own the supposed best player in the world.)

92, 93, 97, 98, 00, and now 04 Grand Finals.

Alfie's return in the origin.

I see Langer's return has now started a trend with other teams looking for retired, or older players to make come backs in an attempt to rejuvinate their teams in hope of a Langer-like effect. Everybody knows no one can match that true champion.

This is my favourite game! I was there and the Tigers were awesome... Craig had a Field day ;-) Hicksy saved us with some amazing sideline conversions and T Puletua was at his rampaging best!

1989 Grand Final .... obviously the best ever Grand Final ever and probably the best ever game ever. Incredible game. Any suggestion that last year's Grand Final is better or that 1997 is better is ridiculous. The people concerned obviously never saw the 1989 Grand Final or have an agenda.

Penriths 32 - 31 win over Wests was a great game.

My fav would be the 2003 grand final.

In those conditions both sides played exceptional and the better team won. It was brilliant.

Penrith v Bulldogs this year and last year at Penrith both exciting games and either team could have one..

For sheer satisfaction with the result, can't go past two matches:

Raiders 68 Parramatta 0
Raiders 66 Easts 4

For a good, close game there have been some great ones that I've seen, but nothing beats the 1989 grand final.
