93 seconds of Paul Carige Failing - NRL Fails - 1998 Preliminary Final Bulldogs vs Eels

[@Phinneaus.P.Dingleberry]

Doggies supporter here but i'll swear until the day I die that ball was still rolling towards the dead ball like when Carige touched it. Harrigan got that call wrong, though he'd never admit it.

[@justnik8727]

Legend has it the ball is still rolling

[@helpstopanimalabuse8153]

I think that’s Cariige’s head still rolling after his critics kicked him senseless

[@bretthosking1759]

The club cut him after this game and, of course, Parra never choked in a big game again...

[@markaitken8996]

he made it to 1st grade hats of to him well done sir

[@glenchapman3899]

Yeah he had a pretty solid first grade career. Better than anything I have ever done. And to be honest I have seen many players over the years drop clangers far worse than that. Mind you I dont think that ball had stopped rolling in the first clip.

[@PossumMagic99]

No blame for John Simon? He kicked out on the full and missed 2 field goals, one from in front, with 10 to go. Brian Smith then hooked him. The panic had set in.

[@sgt.yarpyarp144]

You can hear sterlo audibly sigh when he does the chip and chase 😂

[@MegaBadseed]

I think the only dumb play was the kick at full time. The ball was still moving in the in goal that the refs simply got wrong, the catching of the balls & going out of bounds were just normal things that can happen with defenders right up in your face. Imagine if he lets them bounce & they go back infield.

[@jw6968]

Rotten decision from Harrigan than led to all the rest. With about 30 second left, only Parramatta could have won it in normal time from there. Shocking decision.

[@TheShepdawg9]

He had a terrible game, but that ball hadn't stopped moving when he grounded it. Obviously

[@PossumMagic99]

Thats Bill Harrigan, should have checked it with video ref

[@gattingbowledwarne]

@@PossumMagic99bill didn’t like the video ref. He thought he didn’t need it.

[@PossumMagic99]

@@gattingbowledwarneyep massive ego

[@gattingbowledwarne]

@@PossumMagic99 I heard on a podcast that during the super league season ribot had to tell him to go to the video ref more often to keep the video ref sponsor happy. Just wouldn’t use it because he thought he didn’t get anything wrong.

[@PossumMagic99]

@@gattingbowledwarne if you really want to punish yourself try reading his book. He says early in his career he hated the 5m rule so he would "get them back 10m so it was a better game" Hollywood Harrigan setting his own rules, and he never changed.

[@WRX2001]

The ball was still moving when he grounded it...

[@GB-kp6hf]

When you think it can't get any worse... it does.

[@DaShA69684]

The ghost of Cariage haunts the halls of Parra, they will never win another GF until that demon is exorcised, cost us the 2001,2009 and 2022 GFs

[@Ozwombats]

Thats pretty harsh to blame Cariage for all those other ones 😂

[@thegraveyardshift8521]

Sterlo's reactions/comments make this video

[@PossumMagic99]

😅Forgot where he was, the goblins best ever work.

[@sammykarim3826]

Paul had such a great game for the bulldogs that day 👏

[@beardedshadow]

I've never seen this before. Gotta pretty bad for Sterling to go after you.

[@Ozwombats]

yeah Sterlo was notorious for sitting on the fence getting splinters and never having an opinion. Not so here.

[@Demonico-j7x]

Parramatta had a try disallowed just after half time because Carige was too far in front of Stuart Kelly who passed it forward. I think Brian Smith dropped him back to fullback after that.

[@edwardbrett1416]

They totally bombed two tries like that. There was another one where Kelly didn't pass it because Carige was in front of him, when if he'd just stayed back it would have been an easy try.

[@Demonico-j7x]

@@edwardbrett1416 That's right, Sterlo made the quip that someone should tell Carige to get behind Stuart Kelly so he has more running depth. Even Rabs (who doesn't normally shit on players) was chastising him for not learning from his mistakes. It just got worse from there 😂

[@edwardbrett1416]

@@Demonico-j7x It's kind of funny that nobody really remembers his two most costly botches and that if he hadn't screwed those up, none of the later stuff would have mattered (in fact, most of them wouldn't have even happened since there wouldn't have been extra time).

[@adthomp]

Never played a game again after this.

[@Ozwombats]

He did, just not in the NRL.

[@grunthostheflatulent2613]

Bulldogs player of the game...

[@Its_just_me_again]

ball was still moving on his 1st play?

[@joeyjoey7972]

i was there, i felt sorry for him but very happy as a Bulldog fam

[@nathj4818]

And it was his birthday too

[@henrythompson5224]

I wonder if they had a Birthday cake, in the sheds after the game🎂

[@gavinscott1704]

Ah, I have watched this at least 50 times in my life and was there too... appreciate the performance so much but yeah, feel bad for Carige. Can't have been good for his mental health.

[@fatstorvolay2243]

Poor bloke lost his confidence and composure after giving away the line drop out. But the ball was still rolling and it should have even a 20m restart thanks to his own smart play. Paul Carige is the victim of the super league bias in the game at that time that ensured only super league sides would get to the Gand final.

[@HSVGEEK]

I guess that same bias is what helped the ARL team get to an 18-2 lead with 10min to go as well using 4 of the key player that played for the Bulldogs? Same bias Paul running out and kicking the ball with 10sec to go? Seriously

[@jeremygziji9186]

when it rains it pours

[@geraldlohrisch2656]

Harrigan was too self righteous. We all remember the state of origin double knock on too when he sent Tallis off. Harrigan's ego was always a problem.

[@camerondelamotte159]

bronco billy great ref if you didnt get hime on a sunday afternoon

[@thomasmurphy4438]

I don’t think anyone has made this many mistakes in park footy

Hollywood Harrigan

[@darkstars-torpedoes-of-truth]

Hairstyle Harrigan.

[@Sub0x-x40]

poor bloke was rattled. he was a decent footy player just had a mick crocker

[@mohamadsowaid6275]

He actually had a good season. But shocking game. I was at that prelim, it's was devastating 😢

[@adthomp]

And that game ending his career was rehearsed never to play again. Goes to show 10 mins can cost you your entire career

[@helpstopanimalabuse8153]

As a Eels fan i felt physically sick for over a week. I took the next 3 days off work. I will never forget that game. Oh well, We beat them yesterday so it's a positive start. We play Penrith next friday who we always beat. Just not in GF's.

[@-James-A]

This game happened 12 years after their last grand final win, it has been an additional quarter of a century and they still haven't won a GF. "this year is Parra's year", though.

[@nickoFNT-sx7lp]

He is a teacher at my school

[@nathj4818]

That's cool I bet he gets cheeky comments from students about it too 😂

[@APB225]

He teaches everyone what not to do in this video

[@helpstopanimalabuse8153]

i agree with the video but to go & create a video about 1 player out 0f 17 is pretty cruel. It's easy for us to sit back on our lounges & be critics when we couldn't do any better ourselves is just mean & cruel.

[@locominyana8916]

You can't be critical of that performance though if you tried.

[@helpstopanimalabuse8153]

I played first grade for the Eelsin the late 80's & early 90's & played the grand total of 6 first grade games. I simply wasn't good enoughfor regular first grade games. The 6 games i played i was just filling in for injuredplayers. A lot happens in 80 minutes of footy. You are going to make 40+ tackles, run the ball, kick goals. To pick out what was the equivalent of 30 seconds in a whole game or100 minute game is really cruel & to do it afterer all this time is suspicious. Maybe Paul owes this guy some money all he stole his girlfriend or as i suspect the creator of this video always wanted to play first grade rugby league himself & Paul made i & he didn't it & he has never gotten over it.@@locominyana8916

[@marnitransport253]

At our pub we have a call and it is, "carige", Its used every time we notice a complete flop that has somehow faked it all the way to first grade. Hundreds have been called out since.

Accept you’ve never kicked a ball in your life stick to pouring beers mate.

surely he was concussed

[@anitawilson4338]

He grounded the ball in goal. Should of been a drop out

[@winston.neville]

It was a drop out

[@SSPURR]

@@winston.neville The ball clearly was not stopped lol, should not have been a line drop out, this should have been a smart play if not for incompetent refs. Looks like nothing has changed in that regard.

[@jimmybill1963]

Oh it’s changed alright now the have more cameras more people deciding what the right call is and they still manage to completely fuck it up. It’s changed but not for the better.

[@winston.neville]

@@SSPURR you said it should have been a drop out?

[@marcus86tiger]

The rule used to be if the ball was still in motion and you had your foot in touch, you could touch the ball and it would result in a 20 metre restart
