What were you doing on this day, precisely nine years ago?

Posted by Gray Fox on September 13, 2018 at 7:55pm

It's nine years exactly since one of our most famous victories. Beating the Dragons that day, and the way we finished off that game through Hayne's solo try was truly special. What do you remember doing that day? I honestly don't remember what I was doing. It was so long ago. I remember it being a hot day and probably just waited around not doing anything until kickoff.

I have a link of the match report for anyone interested in revisiting that special occasion. http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2009-09-13/eels-shock-dragons-in-finals-boilover/1427560

  That field goal was so good. From 40m out. I didn't know Burt could do that.

  I was at the Tigers game as well. Probably one of the best quality games I've seen live. That flick pass from Marshall to completely bamboozle Joel Reddy was awesome to watch. Hayne and Marshall head to head at their peak. You just don't get that amymore

At a mate's place. Sitting next to a Dragon's supporter. Considering the result a week earlier I had very low expectations. It was such an amazing game for us. Truly one of the wins of the club's history. Hayne was a God that day!!

  I remember being nervous but I knew it would be much closer. I knew we had a chance.

I was at kogarah in 36 degree heat sweating my Ying yang, no one gave us a chance and based on the previous week who would’ve thought. Wow one of the best moments
