Fox showed a 1hr package of the game last night and its probably been done to death before, but seeing its finals time and we aren't playing, I thought I'd ask what your favourite moment/s of the game were.

Mine, of course, was seeing the Storm play in their 1st grandfinal in front of a world record crowd and holding up that trophy after the game.

AND watching St. George choke  ;D ;D

There were heaps of highlights, so list yours.

Yeah I came across it by pressing the back button accidentally.
My favourite was Nikau going crazy in the second half.

how good was the storm back row and the forwards off the bench,

not to mention Marcus Bai, 30m plus per run, he was a legend.

could they find looser jersey's if they tried lol

Marcus Bai. What a champ.. great run.. bouncing of a few guys.. This guy..  one of the crowd favs in the early days that was a huge part in starting the culture that is at this club.

Isnt it amazing that we as fans are lucky enough to experience this time.. there beginning, there hardships and into the future.

One of the greatest sporting clubs this world has ever seen.

haha.. i love this club.

I loved watching Matty Rua run around too... I really do like backrowers!! lol

My fav part though is the commentary when they are trying to decide if Craig Smith would have scored, and then they show the front on shot and it's a no brainer!  Sterlo 'Oh yeah, that's a penalty try!'
:D :D
Storming our way to glory!

My fav part was just getting there.

Was a very gritty finals campain by the Storm.

Behind at half time in every game by memory.

Thats still probably the most clear (easiest to call) penalty try ever i reckon, god Craig Smith got belted.

Spot on. It was for that reason why I wasn't overly worried when we were behind at half time in the grand final.

I watched the replay on Wednesday, loved it yet again.

The best thing about it was beating the Dragons, icing on the cake was smashing them in the grand final replay!  :lol:

Yeah, who could forget that great night at the MCG in the pouring rain, after Mundine shot his mouth off thru the press :D

And another great night at the MCG when we beat Cronulla.

Then tramping back to the old social club at Olympic Park to mingle with other supporters and the players...those were the days...such great memories.
