  This man never got the credit he truly deserves! Most people will ever remember was the winning try he scored in the 97 final but not many people remembers much of the try saving tackle he made in the previous semi final game against north syd. He pulled off arguably the greatest I mean the best try saving tackle of the century! Matt seers looks odds on scoring the try in the corner after making a break on newcastles left side defence n Albert started chasing at half way mark running diagonally to the farside of the field and cuts him centermeters short of the line eventually put him into the touch! Many people will wanna argue sattlers tackle on Byrne in 03 gf is better .. Let's face it... Byrne was never known as a quick winger... Sattler had him in sight the whole time he was chasing him. Alberts tackle on seers was out of no where no one gave him a chance to make a tackle like that.. given the circumstances, if seers has scored that try.. The score wud of leveled and Newcastle might not even play the gf.. Therefore we might never witness such a dramatic gf moment like the one in 97!
