Whats your favourite leichhardt oval moment ?
Mine is the Amco cup win in the
late 70s when the tigers beat the bears
The Brian lockwood flick pass to bing pringle was just sensational
 
when wests-tigers played rabbitohs at end of 2006 season. highlight of the day was when a rabbitohs fan, attempted to do something to score board and was shown the error of his ways, by flying cans. :laughing:
 
Wow, so many to choose from!

Two, off the top of my head, would be v Cowgirls, Robbie/Watts scrum punch up, send offs. Go Robbie! And, Chrissy Lawrence running the length of the field to score against the Storm and put the win beyond doubt! :smiley:
 
Having my wedding photo's taken on the ground and slotting a goal straight over the black dot in my suit!
or;

-Scott Gales chip chase, chip chase TRY!
-Beating Manly 49-18 in 2005
-Beating Parra in the pouring rain before we became the Sydney Tigers and moved to Parra Stadium
 
Gary Bridge - the slowest 6 to ever play the game - running half the length of the field and from sideline to sideline to score in the corner against Dogs I think late 80's.

Benji has had some pretty good moments, the try vs storm in 2010 was pretty special

Remember Blocker setting up two tries in 10mins down the grandstand wing vs Dogs late in 2nd half for a comeback win, Micheal Moss scored one of the tries. Can't remember which year but late 80's Wok was the coach and had noticed the winger was dropping back early in the tackle count and Block executed spectacularly.

B B, remember that Gale chip chase, wasn't there but they reckon one of the best individual tries ever - we lost the game 20-18 vs Dogs I think
 
Beating Parra in the pouring rain for balmains last game….. And milford winning the fight that same day against???
 
Round 22 1989, standing on the steps of the Latchem Robinson Stand with my father, Leichhardt Oval was packed - it was a fiery game and we had a big win!

Other highlights -

WT's first ever game, a big trial win over Manly.
Round 1 1997, first game back after two years at Parramatta - great performance against red-hot Manly.
1997 - determined, gritty upset major upset over the Bears.

Every game at Leichhardt is special - and I'm warming to Campbelltown!!

I'm with you on those 2 Mrs T!

I think Chris burning Slater down the sideline to win the match is certainly the one that sticks in my mind. Amazing moment!

Ink and Mrs T games both have special significance for Happy

Magpies v Easts was the first ever NRL game I ever saw

Chris Lawrence try was Happy's 40th birthday
 
Last Balmain game to beat Parra. Was such a great win I didn't realize I was freezing my arse off and that I couldn't feel my toes.

The game against the Roosters mid-this year, was my very first Tigers and Leichhardt game, flew over with my grandfather from Perth to watch it too. Was totally ecstatic when all my favourite players were warming up not 5 metres in front of me and I am proud to say that the mini-standing ovation for Lote brought tears to my eyes.

Such a great game, so glad I was able to share the experience with my grandfather who is also a massive Tigers fan.

Wayne Pearce's last home game, his last lap was a great moment. My parents dont follow league at all, but Mum knew it was a big deal for me to see Junior play his last game, he was my hero (still my favourite all time player) so she took me to the ground all the way from Penrith to Leichhardt to watch it, will never forget it.
 
A couple, first - the aforementioned Lawrence try against the Storm to seal the game, just a massive play!

Also, in 2005 we beat the Sea Eagles there on a Friday night when we were going try for try in the first half. Robbie had a blinder that night, and it was right at the start of our winning run. I knew that night we were going to be contenders soon.

Out of all the great on field moments I could of think of, this off field incident was the first thought that came to my mind too. That guy was either very drunk, or had elephant balls :roll

The Fitzy solo try from the scrum against Raiders to seal the game was also a great moment, particularly as a lot of people [myself included] thought he shouldn't be in the team
 
My greatest moment was the day after the 2005 grand final win. Getting on the field with thousands of Wests Tigers fans and waiting for the players to come on stage and hold up that magnificent trophy. Still sends a shiver down my spine thinking about it. :sign:

Absolutely Goose…that was a heart breaking loss but what an experience to be there for Juniors last lap of the oval. Covered in streamers and crying...top stuff. I was 15 that day and was there with my uncle and some of his mates and got blind!

2nd would be a school boys game a couple of years later when we played a side full of huge poley's who were all doing the throat slit actions trying to intimidate us before kick off. We pantsed them 50-4 and they were not pleased. Many brawls that arvo! Played many games on that ground and didnt lose one of them.

3rd could be any thing else but I settled with Farahs get square on Watts. You could feel the energy around the ground that it was going to happen and when it did the crowd made more noise than you would ever expect in such a small stadium. We were all standing on our chairs and screaming. Then Rob came back on and scored...one mad day at the footy.
 
Most recently, the 2010 game vs the raiders I thought was something special.

Beau Ryan scoring the clubs 1000th try to put us in the lead in the 75th minute.

then FITZHENRY!!!! from the scrum base!!! Step, Step, jink, then OUTSPRINTS JARROD CROKER to score under the sticks.

Best part -EVERY Tigers player ran in from miles away to stacks on Daniel Fitzhenry for scoring that match sealing try.

This isn't the clearest video footage of the try - but mate, it captures Leichardt's magic atmosphere perfectly.
