With 92 being special and 98 because it was arguably our best team. Putting the consortium together and getting the green light to enter the ARL was a key point obviously in the clubs history. Our world club challenge win over Wigan in 92 set up a unique rivalry. A home gf in 97 was a day out to remember. The Panasonic cup will probably be there, but is probably rated more highly looking back all these years later. At the time it never felt a big big deal. The Ipswich connection cracking the top 40 singles chart will probably be under rated here. Our first finals win, over Manly in 1990 was an ice breaker. I still remember the CM front page the next day trumpeting ”our finest hour“. And they were right. The leaping Gazelle's golden point try against Melbourne in 2003. Unforgettable. Winning just one of our first ten games in 1999, was pretty significant, I thought. Firstly it showed us , forever after , that no matter how bad things get we can always turn it around and we are never far off the pace. We made the finals that year and won the comp the next year. That downturn also marked Alf's first departure and proved that we weren't reliant on just one player. But no.1 for me, has to be the first game against Manly. That was really special. That was the moment when it was like - shit , finally , it's become reality. And what a game against the premiers. And if not that game, then Alf leading everyone in singing "St George can't play" would be my next hope for the No1 spot. [/QUOTE]
