SO DOMINANT was Greg Inglis’ 2007 Grand Final performance he could have almost taken on Manly on his own and still walked away with the medal. The second rower was instrumental in the Broncos’ win, belting the Bulldogs in defence and with bullocking runs in attack before scoring the match-sealing try with a smart dummy and go from hooker. IF RAY Price was Mr Perpetual Motion then Gorden Tallis must have been the Energizer Bunny during Brisbane’s 1998 Grand Final win - except opposing Canterbury players might tell you he hit a little bit harder than a rabbit. 7 directed the Eels to their most recent premiership against their arch-rivals. Steering his beloved Eels around and controlling the match with his long and short kicking game, the crafty No.
Still, the best analyst in the game today showed the same composure and class on the field almost 30 years ago. IT SEEMS almost ludicrous that in the only tryless grand final in history the Clive Churchill Medal was awarded to a halfback. While perhaps not the grandest performance of his career, one of the greatest to play the game laid the platform for one of the most dominant first halves in grand finals.
THE Parramatta Eels were simply unstoppable in 2001 and if it had not been for the brilliance of Andrew Johns then surely their premiership drought would have come to an end.
