Sorry you are right I will correct itthat was 2012 and I am pretty sure it was away to the Sea Eagles
Top 5 best games I’ve been to and seen. Ogre was on a mission that night and destroyed them. Also picked first and last try scorer on the tab
Knockout punch Omeley. That battle is over!
Yeah we did win that game. There were no tries scored.In a similar vein, hilarious piece of incompetent finishing. It was 84, packed Belmore Oval on a Sunday afternoon v Dragons. In a tight, low scoring game, we make a clean break around halfway and the ball ends up with our winger Max Mannix (remember him?) He strolls over with no defender within 10m of him. He goes for the big swan dive as he puts the ball down…and the bloody thing squirts out!! No need for video ref (there wasn’t one!!), it was no try. Right in front of the hill, who gave him heaps for the rest of the game.
Poor bastard never lived down this infamous moment, Wok dropped him soon after. I think we still won the game though…
And a very glum look on the face of David Gallop.2004 Grand Final trophy presentation and Andrew Ryan and Steve Price were holding up the trophy with Ray Warren's commentary: "and the trophy of supremacy goes to the Blue and Whites of Canterbury!"
I was at that game. Funniest moment ever.Field goals in the final minutes to win a match are one of the most celebrated feats of the game.
But when they are kicked when your team needs two points to win? Enter Terry Lamb and the curious incident of the Dogs and the Knights at Belmore Oval in 1992.
Down 12-10 with three minutes to go against Newcastle, Lamb successfully potted a shot from 42 metres out.
“My teammates blew up cause I told them I’d won FootyTab … I got $12,000," Lamb said about the goal later.
Rumour has it, Gibbs is still in the HIA.

Playing for QLD, Jason hethrington said the same thing in the 90s after NSW pumped them.Gus Gould was commentating a game where the Bulldogs were playing (2012) and before the game they put the camera on Ben Barba. Gus says “if Benny Barba put his hand down a toilet, he would pull out a gold watch. That’s how well he’s going”
