That was around the time that everyone had a massive hard on for him.

Worst decision of all time.
Took something that should be remembered along the same likes as the Mark Gasnier centenary try and turned it into a piece of controversy.
Think it came out in Lockyer's book that the video referee admitted he got the decision wrong but it's of little consolation now that we have to put up with golden point - still one of the biggest overreactions in Rugby League history.
But hey, it adds to the spectacle of that night.
Other moments of that game I remember vividly
- Tallis lassoing Hodgeson. Brett had one of the all-time greatest games at fullback in the same arena a few weeks prior and was threatening to break free until Big Gordie in the twilight of his career pulled off that brilliant play.
- Sterlo criticising Barrett as Trent rips us apart
- Lockyer's spiderman grab of a pin-point Johns grubber
- The no try of course
- The sensational try to Moodie which should have given the Blues victory...
- Lockyer's daring short kick off and the aftermath.
Annoys me a bit how revisionists try and re-write the night as anything but a Queensland victory. Only one team was happy after that game and they weren't from NSW.
