1) What was the first rugby league game you ever attended?
2) What was the first rugby league game (involving the Sharks that you ever attended)?
For me:
1) Rd 12, 1994 - Newcastle vs St George at Marathon Stadium
Was only 7 at the time. Don't remember a lot from this game, other than the fact Gorden Tallis got sent off for headbutting Russell Wyer (I think) and the emergence of a then 20-yr old Joey Johns. "The rampaging bull" avoided suspension, so he could play in State of Origin. Over 30,000 ppl packed in the ground that day. Ground was sooo packed, you couldn't even move. Ppl sitting everywhere. I'm glad they've lowered the capacity to 26,000 there.
2) Rd 13, 1999 - Newcastle vs Cronulla at Marathon Stadium
Paul 'The Chief" Harragons farewell. Knights upset Sharks 26-18 (Sharks were very good that year, finishing with the minor-premiership. Man, the Sharks had a good side back then). IIRC, Jason Stevens got suspended for a lengthy period of time for a pretty bad tackle (8 matches)
