I only started Really watching Footy in 2010 so it would probably be….The game against either the Sharks in round 1 in 2012 or the Knights in 2011 in I think round 16 we won both games by 1 point I was at both games and they where both at LO the Atmosphere was bloody hectic.

sharks round 1 2012 always leaves a sour taste since we didnt deserve it. couple of really poor ref decisions luckily went our way.

but evened up a bit when we got dudded against the dogs late in the season.

 

[Marshall_magic]

The top 3 for me in chronological order
1\. Dragons Prelim
2\. Grand final win
3\. Raiders semi in 2010 against the odds.

That game agianst Cronulla in 2012 was fair enough, the Sharks got all the calls for the first 60 mins, including a try from an obvious forward pass.

2011 was the year when we had a few games with outrageous calls in our favour, particularly the Warriors game in the finals.

As for best moments it is easily Dragons semi in 2005, followed by the Grand final.

Some good ones in the list. Saints semi on 05 was number 1 for me.

Benji's set up try against Parra 2009….the most brilliant piece of play I have ever seen...dummy,dummy,sprint and then around the back pass for Ayshfords try....just stunning.

Benji's set up try against Sharks and the whole game 2005.....what a ridiculous try,first with Bunji stepoping through half the side and then the no look pass.....that whole day was just superb,we ran riot of them...I cant recall us outnumbering another team away but i swear ther were more tigers fans than sharks....awesome!!

Robbie Farah smashing Watts.........after getting king hit in a scrum and pretty much knocked to the ground...Robbie waits for the next scrum,and as Gould predicted the Gods of Leichhardt Oval spoke as Robbie let fly with about 20 furious lefts to the head of Watts who looked like Tyson had done a number on him......Crowd goes wild and even wilder as RObbie gets ten in the bin.....biggest cheer ever.....and as a side note,when they were both waiting to come back on....Robbie had the biggest grin on his face as he stood right next to a battered and bruised Anthony Watts.....GOLD!!!

 

[simonthetiger]

And the 05 game vs Canberra away…...when Hodgo streaked in to win the game at the end I actually...for the first time in my life thought that we were specials to win the comp.....well since 89 anyway......

To play so badly for 65 minutes and then steamroll a quality side away was just superb and a special moment for me......I started punting/booking tickets hard asap.

 

[simonthetiger]

Of course the GF and semi re Saints.

Dragons pre-lim. Better than the gf imo (crazy as that sounds)

 

[Sabre]

My vote on twitter went to Robbie Farah belting the crap out of Anthony Watts

 

[king_sirro]

Not the best moment but one of my faves is the Terry Lamb days. Cant remember what year it was but we lost all 3 trials then in round one we beat hot favourites canterbury at Belmore. The following week we had Parra at Leichhardt with everyone thinking round one was a fluke. It was close with us just leading with minutes remaining when Mark O'Neill took an intercept to secure the game. Sunday arvo at Leichhardt didnt get any better than that.

the flick pass in the gf a moment of magic

Aye that's the greatest moment of individual brilliance I have ever seen on a footy field. The crowd and the commentators are just in awe, I have never heard a crowd react that way before or since.

I have a big soft spot for the last-minute Lawrence runaway try against Melbourne at LO, 2011 I think. Crowd goes absolutely bananas, I was there and I couldn't see if Slater was catching him once they reached the far corner, had to wait for the crowd reaction to seal it.

My Dad and I still talk about it as typical Tigers, we'd just survived Melbourne's last minute effort (Cronk kick that missed Turner's hands by mere inches) and then put on a shifty scrum play when we could have done 6 x one-outs to wind the clock.

Speaking of mad moments when in front, I also recall the Panthers game when Benji did a cut-out in front of our own tryline, up by 2 with a minute to go. 2012 I think, not a great moment, but memorable because I yelled out "what the hell are you doing!?" and half the pub turned around to look at me.

 

[simonthetiger]

I forgot about the Lawrence try right on the buzzer….that was awesome!!!

And Buckets' one as well....

2001 I'd reckon KS

Got back from Malaysia the day of the trial in Gladstone between Tigers and Storm

I was playing a 4 ball at Pam Meadows listening to the game (Dogs ) on the radio (it was a Saturday game )

We won the 4 Ball , my business won an award and won a few k at the Casino with the Missus dressed to the 9's

Bloody good day

Canberra semi in 2010 needs some love here. They had all the momentum and we had half our team under an injury cloud after a 100 minute epic the week before which we lost in heartbreaking circumstances. The way we turned it around and stopped the Raiders dead in their tracks on their home turf was awesome.
