2018 GF . Roosters in complete control from 1st minute to the 80th.
70,000 fans cheering for the Roosters, and 70,000 fans jeering Slater every time he touched the ball.
2019 Prelim vs Storm. When we beat them, nothing was going to stop us going back- to -back. In my mind, the 2019 GF was played on that day.
2019 QF vs Souffs - I will forever cherish the memories of the thrashing we handed the bunnies in a finals game.
I never saw the jaw dropping 1975 obliteration of St George live at the SCG - It is something I will regret for the rest of my life.

Attack wins games but defence wins premierships!
Grand Finals for me are easy to say because even if the game is of a poor standard & your club wins you will always rate it because of what it means & they are hard to come by.Also the large crowd,atmosphere etc make the occasion memorable.
But as a 1 off game this was my favourite as it was a brutal defensive effort & i was never comfortable knowing we had it won.It was edge of the seat stuff until the siren because 1 play could decide the outcome.Also not a fan of 50+ scores purely because as an adult I like the hard work over instant gratification of cheap scores which are kids things.

Most of my favourites have been mentioned, but I remember a game from when I was a kid that has stuck in my mind all this time. It was just an ordinary club game against St George at the SCG in probably 1970 or 71. We ended up winning 30 something to 20 something and it was just end-to-end action the whole game, with lots of tries from chip kicks and trick plays. There was quite a big crowd present and the atmosphere was electric.
I also remember a huge game early in the 1974 season against the then premiers Manly. With Fairfax exploding on to the scene that year, the Roosters faithful were beginning to believe that this at last was going to be our year. They had some kind of parade at Bondi Junction a few days before the game to promote it and a record crowd for a club game attended - 50,000! We won of course.

2000 PF when we beat the Knights and the cocky Johns brothers who already celebrating in the dressing rooms at half time will be forever in my heart.
The 2010 final against the Tigers is up there and I was privileged to see it as well but the 2000 PF trumps it for me.......
The 2013 semi against Manly was a heart stopper and in my top 5....
Beating Souffs in 2018 was great.....
The PF we beat the Dogs in 2003 was pretty special as well, shame we didnt go on and win the GF a week later........
I have been to a couple of our winning GFs but didnt go to the 18 and 19 ones.Last edited by 4 the all in brawl; 07-10-2021, 06:07 PM.Originally posted by Bondi Boy
