Best game you ever saw live?

[Big Dog]

'91 origin game at the SFS. Pissing down rain, though we were under cover. Sparkles McGaw scored right in front of us and Mick O'Connor converted from the sideline to win the match. I still get goosebumps watching this

Most enjoyable: 2018 grand final

Most satisfactory: 2018 prelim

Closest/best battle: 2013 first week 4-0 win over Manly

Most exciting finish: 2012 r1 vs Souths tied with 2019 latrell field goal vs Melbourne (also attended the 2015 GF but wasn’t as invested)

Best comeback: 2013 GF

Most stressful: 2019 GF

Best non roosters game: 2006 tri nations final

For good measure - most embarrassed: 2007 smashing by manly at brookie (Chris Anderson’s last game as coach) when I was a young teen

Most disappointing: 2014 prelim tied, 2017 prelim a close second

Was just reminiscing about some of the games I've seen live, the 2010 Roosters Tigers final is far away the best game I've ever seen at a ground.

Wondering what favourites others might have, whether that be club games, Origins, Tests, Grand Finals, etc?

Good thread.

All the games already mentioned. This one I also enjoyed. I recall we actually won it with a penalty in front of the sticks for an incorrect 20m restart. Guessing it was around 1996.

So many great games and memories...of all the games mentioned I reckon I was at all but about 4 or 5 of them.

For tension, it's hard to split the 2013 semi v Manly (4-0), the 2018 Souffs prelim and the 2019 GF.

But my all time favorite is the 2000 prelim v the Knights. To this day, I have never lost the plot at a game like I did that night. I'd probably had two beers tops, but I was off my head - point in time the best feeling I've ever had at a game. Still gives me goosebumps to this day whenever I watch it.

It’s been ages since incorrect 20m restarts were punished with penalties. Speaking of that game, what a crowd for a Monday night.

I already said earlier the Roosters v Souths 2018 last game at the SFS. Electric.

This game is near the best, it was the 2003 preliminary final at the SFS against the Bulldogs. I didnt have a ticket & it was sold out but I managed to sneak in, Id managed to get in after getting access to the loading dock area in between the SFS & SCG, I eventually walked through the opening in the stand that used to be at the show ground end you could drive a truck through it. Once I got in I walked all the way around the ground & was loitering around bay 34, 35, 36, eventually I managed to get into bay 36 but could not get a seat so I sat on the step right up the back of bay 36 its an area where you can fit a pram anyway eventually I got asked by a female worker who was policing the bays what I was doing & I told her that I was spinning out down in the middle of bay 36 & was just getting a breather & she left me alone.
The part that was the best of all was after the Chooks had won the game & the Bulldogs supporters were leaving on mass I started the chant "WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS" clap clap clap & then every Rooster supporter in bay 34, 35, 36 & 37 joined in, it was UNBELIEVABLE.
2 or 3 thousand Chook supporters chanting WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, ahhh so good.

"Another for me was the 2004 Anzac Day when Freddie stepped his way through for a gutsy win by a depleted Roosters side"
stepped the blue minge with a classic freddy step, rest his soul.

I made the mistake of driving to the game that night - don't know who was the bright spark that would allow cars to exit the car park left only onto driver avenue as the lights down further would hardly be on green for seemingly more than 30 seconds.

Man there’s been a lot of crackers, but it’s hard to go past Chooks v Tigers 2010 in the finals….Damn!!

[Monaco's Fan Club]

2000 prelim against Newcastle

I nearly broke my chair in bay 33 !

[Ray Stehr]

The 75 grand final was amazing as was the 20-0 whitewash of Manly at the SCG in 1977, the 1982 Easts-Manly clash which we won 40-2, also featured the best try I've ever seen. The 98 and 2000 comeback wins v Newcastle and also the amazing semi win against the Tigers in 2010, Plus the 18 and 19 grand finals.

I recall a promotion of some sort. Free tickets for workers in the city.

Ah, okay. Could do with more of those to get more fans in.
