This was the greatest Warriors win of all time!! To beat the reining Premiers at home in a semi final with a star thudded line up like the Storm had... That was the best feeling ever! Thanks for posting this most memorable game, I will treasure it for life. What a team we had that year!
This was a elimination quarter 1 storm vs 8 warriors. YES 🙂🙂 a very memorable game this is. Warriors breaking records. The first time an 8th place beating a team in 1st place in knockout stage of NRL.
I know that this was a reply from 2008, but for some weird reason I was on the edge of my seat. As if life was back to normal and there was no more coronavirus. Stay safe everyone. And hope footy comes back soon. 💙
I was there. Just moved to Melbourne that actual day (been living in London and Blenheim for a few years and got into the Warriors and League). Jet lag (26 hour travelling) disappeared quickly after this win. What a day!
born and bred warriors fan since they first started and been through the years and up until now just watching this game reminds me through thick and thin tears of joy and heartbreak never give up and never fall back regardless of the situation on and off the game stay strong and steady and know the day will come for us warrior fans when we will stand side side with pride watching our boys win a grand final for now keep ur colours on and keep the faith proud of youse boys no matter what comes your way ☮️ y'all
Do you know why Michael Witt held back on scoring? "He was trying to wind the clock down - he saved us a whole second" paraphrasing Ivan Cleary after asking Michael about the theatrics.
Jerome Ropati doesn't get the codes he deserves. He had it all over Folau when it counted. Ran around him to score a try and then started the actual movement that lead to Witt scoring the winner, also around Folau in the process.
Sterlo: 77:30 - "there is nothing left in the Warriors at the moment" - and at that very moment, the Warriors break away and score. The Commentators curse strikes again lol.
Price was having a go at Witt, for showboating, and Fien was ripping into Price for it, he's saying "He just won the f**king game" and so on. I genuinely believe rhis moment I when Price lost rhe locker room and eventually the captaincy

same year kiwis upset the kangaroos to win the world cup
I disagree. An even greater win was Warriors over Storm in the preliminary final in 2011 for a spot in the GF.

Good job, mate
Jesus that must have taken a pen and a paper to complete this lol. Thanks mate not all heroes wear capes.
You sir are a legend
As a recent fan I love the fact that i can watch these games to see how legends played back in the day
Manu Vatuvei, one of the best wingers ever in the NRL.
100% Agree with you!! History will remember this great winger for a long time..
Definitely on attack.. could be a bit loose catching bombs and had the turning circle of the Queen Mary... but an awesome player
Greatest bum in jail
He was a class A player. He was ice cold. Never cracked under pressure. A real methodical player. With that last play he put the P in pass.
@@macm3924 He was okay 😂
He stressed me out alot of times though lol
Nathan fien, Henderson and hohiea where so under rated man.
These little guys were awesome
*Hohaia *were *underrated
I come back to watch this again and again. The Warriors were an inspiration in those days. They loved to play.

It was the finest game I have seen the warriors play.
This was truly one of the great warriors wins.1st team from 8 to beat 1st
That Melbourne team is stacked... Madge as a waterboy, Steve Kearny and Brad Arthur as assistant coaches and Bellamy as coach!
It’s an illegal side is why it’s stacked
Ropo had a lot of work to do there. Beautiful.
I was hoping to see Craig Bellamy kick the chair across the changing room but it finished early. But this is 1 of 2 favourite Warrior's games I love.
I remember watching this in Samoa. I was going crazy whilst people from my village were walking past wondering why I wasn’t at church lol
Do you know why Michael Witt held back on scoring?
"He was trying to wind the clock down - he saved us a whole second"
paraphrasing Ivan Cleary after asking Michael about the theatrics.
Yet it took 21 seconds for the final tackle of the game to be made from the kickoff lol.
Jerome Ropati doesn't get the codes he deserves. He had it all over Folau when it counted. Ran around him to score a try and then started the actual movement that lead to Witt scoring the winner, also around Folau in the process.
*An All Time CLASSIC*
Best ever from the warriors
Another great Melbourne win✊🏽 Oh wait
Never gets old
The michael witt try kills me
1:32:28 most important clutch moment ever
I still remember some of the names of this Warriors side. 😅
I could swear that on this day you could feel the Warriors were going to win
Big props to the Storm fan applauding the Warriors at the end of the game, 1:35:44
I love Rabs, Gus and Phil Collin’s praises at the end for The Warriors.
I forgot Melbourne used to play in that little park
Miss this era of footy
Love this 🙌🏻 NZ Warriors

Rabs Ray Warren is a prophet he predicted the Grandfinal score haha haha omg
24:51 scoreboard randomly changes from WAR to NZ
Sterlo: 77:30 - "there is nothing left in the Warriors at the moment" - and at that very moment, the Warriors break away and score. The Commentators curse strikes again lol.
Izzy vs the beast one the best NRL games
What is Fien saying to Price on the way back to half way after the winning try??
Price was having a go at Witt, for showboating, and Fien was ripping into Price for it, he's saying "He just won the f**king game" and so on.
I genuinely believe rhis moment I when Price lost rhe locker room and eventually the captaincy
@@nzruPrice had a point though, it was ridiculous.
i said on the bell.
i was in shock bravo
Melbourne won’t throw this away
2:15
40 love haha hahahah

Ray Rabs Warren is a prophet haha haha
Predicted it before it happened hahahahaha
HAHAHAHA
Does anyone know what this song that's playing at the start of the video
The game that changed the rule lol
Can you guys do this every off season??
Storm crowd booing....classless, as always.
The St George Illawarra Dragons and Canberra Raiders would be eliminated from the 2008 title race in the aftermath of the 2008 Final series
Hope Melbourne wins....
Right at the end it's funny watching Melbourne trying to beat the warriors at their own game with the ridiculous offloads backyard footy kinda stuff
