Defy Impossible | Bulldogs v Eels Preliminary Final, 1998 | Feature | NRL

[@benbrown007]

Used to watch this on video with my dad all the time. He passed away couple of years back. Love you dad. Wish we could watch this one more time.

[@HSimon1981]

one of the greatest comebacks in finals history

[@remylebreau192]

Nah brother its THE Greatest comeback in NRL history 🔵⚪️🔵⚪️

[@joeyjoey7972]

was there and remember the parra supporters singing 'Bring on the Broncos', they all left in shock and tears, Go the Bulldogs!!

[@user-ov6yg6nx5g]

What a game what a team. These memories will never come back again. I miss NRL the game that was full of big hits big fights

[@amsterdamoriginalsaustralia]

What a great memory of this game and seeing it again is special

[@benkikala1844]

Watches that game and it was in this game i started supporting Dogs since than and remain a Life time fan..

[@Iggsy81]

Also this was at the end of a series of comeback wins in the finals for the dogs, i remember a similar thing against newcastle i think the week before

[@Demonico-j7x]

I honestly find the Newcastle game to be more dramatic and exciting than this one. The game against Illawarra in round 24 followed by the 1st elimination final against St. George set the tone for Canterbury’s final series. Down 12-0 in both games before coming back to win while leaving the opposition dead on their feet.

[@robocop5935]

I'm dragons fan. This is the greatest comeback ever. I never write the bulldogs off even if they are last on the table. They are probably the only club who can do a houdini come back from nowhere.

[@dpaz8417]

The 2022 bulldogs team need to watch this see what it means to be a bulldog

[@iffracem]

add '03 to that, but it's a different game now. The focus and goals are more about personal ambition than team work.

[@helpstopanimalabuse8153]

As a Eels fan it was utterly traumatising (But not surprising). It is the only time i have cried openly as a man. Been to family & good friends funerals & no tears but the Eels in finals & GF matches 2001, 2009, 2022 build you up to let you down. Excuse me while i have a quiet aneurysm.

Rod Silva 💥

The greatest game of Rugby League I've ever been to. You could hear a pin drop when CPM kicked that field goal and the ball was travelling through the air. The pandemonium afterwards, thinking he had kicked it, was unrivalled. Absolute mayhem.

[@davidhwang4221]

Paul Carige was a good player but his brain explosions during that game will be his legacy. Even the diplomatic Sterlo during commentary got mad and said he'd made some of the dumbest plays ever made in a game of rugby league.

[@tigerwarsaw99]

Scapegoat. Simon missed field goal from in front. Hollywood missed a blatant dogs forward pass for a try.

[@kevinwalton4050]

Any other team played that grand final the bulldogs would’ve won. But no one was going to stop the Broncos in that grand final.

[@ajmage5319]

greatest Broncos team of all time

[@kevinwalton4050]

@@ajmage5319 i wish I was alive to see it

[@FabianMlasema]

Best bulldogs final

[@jughead4845]

This is the history of the Eels since 1986. They can play well all year, be one of the top teams, but when it comes down to the most important moment, when it really matters, they capitulate.

[@anthonygalway5379]

Were absolutely pumped in the GF the following week by Brisbane. As Parra would of been as well.

[@CrackDCat]

Brisbane looked and proved to be unstoppable that year XD

[@Demonico-j7x]

I’m gonna go ahead and call that Brisbane side the greatest RL side of all time. No one would have beaten them in that Grand Final even if Parramatta beat them in the second week of the finals.

[@ajmage5319]

@@Demonico-j7x agreed. That Broncos side was insane.

[@abdok]

Best part was we HATED parra for taking 5 of our best. AND Parra were the only team that had (or could) beat Brisbane that year. And we took that away from them in the most devastating manner possible haha!!

[@FSKHYPER954]

Bill Harrigan greatest ref of all time

[@thenry866]

Doggie for life

[@danielgwaina540]

Best Doggies game ever

[@anguskerr7665]

When will Parramatta win there next Premiership? 🤔🤔

[@LJPB7146]

Parramatta did what they do best - lose a game with ten minutes to play.

[@ajmage5319]

Both teams vying for the chance to get belted by the Broncos.

[@philsurtees]

Paul Carige played a great game for Canterbury that day!

[@Bruul619]

Will penrith be able to afford the refs next year as well?
