The ten best grand final moments in the past 30 years

[RNA]

Grand finals always produced memorable moments, but some are so special they stay with us forever.

This is a list of the ten best grand final highlights from the last 30 years.

10. Ricky Stuart’s 40-metre pass to Chicka Ferguson

Canberra Raiders versus Penrith Panthers, 1990

To start the list we have one of the longest and best passes in grand final history. Stuart was 15 out from the line and made his away across the field just in front of the east goal pass.

Taking two steps Stuart lofted the ball 40 metres, hitting the ground after clearing all men but Chicka Ferguson. Ferguson picked it up and with some individual brilliance beat a couple of men to score a try – but it was the pass that was remembered most.

9. Sam Burgess and Russell Crowe’s hug and talk

South Sydney Rabbitohs versus Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, 2014

After playung the entire game with a busted face, Burgess cried after finally winning the game in perhaps the performance of his life. But once he and Russell Crowe got together, an almost father-and-son emotion occurred. The pair embraced in an emotional spectacle that was truly wonderful it was to watch.

8. Sharks finally turn off the porch light

Melbourne Storm versus Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, 2016

It took 50 long years but finally the porch light was turned off. Cronulla had finally done what many had thought to be impossible and won the grand final. When captain Paul Gallen finally held up the trophy, the shire became dark as lights everywhere were switched off.
