4. Which player did Greg Inglis famously knock out in July 2012 in one of the most amazing shoulder charges ever seen?

Answer: Dean Young

This was an amazing hit. However, some of the media jumped on the "get rid of the shoulder charge" band wagon. Unfortunately for Dean Young, he was tackled just before G.I. made contact with him, and he hit him flush on the head, knocking him out cold. Just between me and you it was "AWESOME". The Souths vs. Dragons match was played at the Olympic Stadium on Saturday 21st July 2012. G.I. faced the judiciary and was banned for three macthes.

Dean Young played for St.George-Illawarra Dragons, Frank Pritchard for Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, Matt Scott for the North Queensland Cowboys and

Answer: Adam Blair and Glenn Stewart

Intially Adam Blair and Glenn Stewart were only sent to the sin bin for 10 minutes each.

8. What was the final score of the 2012 NRL grand final, played between the Melbourne Storm and Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, in which the Storm won the premiership?
