the crowd truly was and still is something to behold, amazing stuff

My first ever grand final - sat in the stands that are no longer there. Never missed a Melbourne premiership, but this will always be special as it was the first.

Mine too. I remember looking at the crowd trying to comprehend it being nearly 3 x my home town population lol. Remember when the jet swooped through the stadium without warning?

What a game. this game was such a high paced affair. Full of legends. McGregor was such a beast.

Love my Storm boys! Back then and now in 2023. Go Storm ⚡️

This was my first NRL Grand Final I remember watching it with my Grandad, Uncle Michael and Dad from Grandads lounge room Mundine put on a show I remember it well I was 9 at the time

This was meant to be the Sharks year, they dominated the 99 season but choked against St. George in the Prelim, I guarantee you if they made the GF instead of St. George they would’ve won it.

Lazarus is such an awesome dude. What a great career.

Looking at the Dragons team today and it is still unreal to think that they didn’t win, unbelievable players for them.

They somewhat overachieved in 1999 though. They beat minor premiers Cronulla after coming back from an 8-0 defecit at the break to win thanks largely in part from an individual brilliance from Mundine. Then they just ran out of gas toward the end of the GF as a result.

I’m here in 2020 watching my favourite team win their first grand final and I think that this is where Melbourne Storm began their domination in the nrl till this day

That has to be one of the all time greatest comebacks of all time.!! Lead by.the forwards in the second half by Chief Tawera Nikau, Rodney Howe, Paul Marquet, Roarty, Matt Rua, Bowden... They all stood proud. What a game.! Record crowd, controversial finish that made it the most memorable final ever.!! Well done Melbourne Storm.!!

I came here from the St. Helens "Wide to West" video. Mike Stephenson (Stevo) mentioned that Wide to West reminded him of the Melbourne-St. George Grand Final. So I had to see what all the excitement was about!

John Howard got a warm welcome.

Thank you very much for retro. Can you upload GF2000?

Was this the first penalty try ever given? Even the commentator's got confused over the difference between a penalty try and an 8 point try.

Does anyone know what the song is called that’s played at 1min 47s? As the players walk out?

Had a whiff about it that final series. Murdoch's growing influence on the game, a merged team and the new Victorian franchise that the newly named NRL needed to push in the Grand Final. Stephen Kearney had laid a brutal high shot on Parramatta's Dave Penna in the final against the Eels, knocking him out of the contest. Eels coach Brian Smith mentioned in the press conference post game that Kearney wouldn't be playing in the Grand Final. Of course he was "miraculously" cleared mid week by the judiciary. Matt Geyer's forward pass for Tony Martin's try. With Vlandy's obsession with betting/gambling the NRL has only gone further downhill as it heavily relies on lucrative Channel Nein and Fox tmillions to keep the game afloat for the television market. Constant rules changes and meddling haven't helped. Zero tackle/six again rule designed to give the officials way to power to control the flow of games and the The Bunker able to turn a game with umpteen replays to come up with nonsensical rulings/decisions to sway games.

I still believe to this day that the last try was without doubt a penalty try and Ainscough should have been sin binned

You can't have both. Its either a try or a sin bin.

If that Ainscough tackle happened today, he would've been sent off

Did anyone notice that Melbourne didn't run out the last play? Would have been interesting if st george had ran off with that ball and scored
