Big Hits (tackles)

[Achmid]

Hey all,

I'm actually wonderingif anyone can link me a clip or give any information regarding a massive tackle years ago (I think between 2000-2003) by the Storm on the Sydney Roosters (or Sydney City as they were then).

I think the player in question was Craig wing, and he was making a break down the wing.  I think it was Robbie Ross who made the tackle coming from in field, and from memory, he hit hard, took the ball off Wing and scored.

If anyone knows of a big tackle like this, and I've got the details wrong, feel free to correct me, and better yet, if anyone could link to a clip of the tackle that'd be great.  The Footy showed have played it a couple of times over the years, but don't show the whole clip, but it's probably my favourite play ever.

it was on adrian lam

[Play the ball]

I remember it well,

It was in the opening minutes of the game , right in front of where I was sitting in the Eastern Stand ,

Ross on Lam, little man on little man, both players were flying, Lam in open space, ross came across from fullback and lined him up and smashed him,

Pretty sure the ball spilled loose and we regathered and ended up at the other end of the field, we may have even scored,

It was an action packed start to a game.

Ross picked up the ball, passed, and then received the pass back to score at the Swan Street end.  Adrian Lam was on another planet.  Best hit I've ever seen, and I consider it to be one of the best moments on the park in the history of the Storm (it made the list but wasn't number one).

Yep - one of my favs... Ross smashed Lam, picked it up, passed to Bai who busted down the wing and then threw back inside to the best support player in the game Robbie Ross to score! (that's how I remember it anyway!!)

Thanks for all the help everyone.  Anyone know where a clip may be hiding on the net?  I've had a fairly long and unproductive search

That happened in 2000, Best Hit Ever!  In the slow-mo you could see the spittle (or teeth - but I don't think it was teeth) flying from Lams mouth (gross I know but funny)

I've got it somewhere on a clip from Boots 'n' All. I'll try and find it on the weekend.

[The Eagle]

[Bullucked]

Dredging up a seriously old thread I know but I'm trying to show my 9 year old the famous tackle where Robbie Ross cleaned up Adrian Lam. Anyone point me to the appropriate youtube clip please? (Also, whilst you're feeling generous, Crocker on Stewart would please me no end)
