Jack Gibson was quoted as saying about Mick Cronin "he's deceptively slow" hahaha but he showed some pace with that try !

Rex Mossup was a great commentator

Joey Thomas takes Doolans head clean off and Bill Anderson says "there wasnt much in that" !!! LMAO he'd get 14 weeks today!!!

What a champ player les was the wimps that play these days could not handle les.they will want there mommys ha ha ha

Damn the tape reel must've of run out 😤

A scrum won against the feed ,something you will never see today

The leather ball era

Footy at its finest 👌

Souths had a no frills side. St George had a much better roster. What do you expect Souths to lay down and roll over. We played to our strengths which was a forward pack that would tackle all day. And a great Halfback. Sure we turned on the biff a bit but against better teams you had no choice. The 80's Souths side was one of my favourite teams. Come to redfern oval in that time and you werre in for one hell of a game. I went to Endeavour Field one time and it was an honor to here Cronulla fans call us animals. Let me tell you the animals won.

Good old days

That's pretty cool I always thought Mick Neil was Tiger

What a very underrated player gerard was,,great player

that's a cool jersey the blue team have, unlike the horrible yellow version, that yellow version can go fuck itself!.

Good ol' Ziggy Niscott. Blast from the past !!!

🐻🫵👍😊

Old school set move 🍺

The enforcer Les Boyd the legend!!!

😂😂😂 every tackle would be 10 inda bin and on report now 🍺

easts won 12 to 11 i think

That Izzard tackle on Benny Elias was beautiful 👌😁😷 Tackle of the year,lol👌😄😆😅😂🤣😁hihihi

We desperately need this ref now in the NRL

Hartley impacting results as usual.

Auckland in white jerseys. Wow 1st time I've seen that

Always back country. I’ve Never liked city 😂 something about those jerseys. Would love to see a combined city v country nsw/qld series. 😅

Imagine the Johns brothers never went to Newcastle

Eddie Ward always making it about him.

They say the players are fitter these days but back then they only had a 5 M rule and the ball got passed around more than it does now

Bring back the magpies 😊

Thanks for sharing, any chance of the final 15mins 🙏🏼

Up the blues

Shows how tougher these men were than today's players. Can you believe that Steve Roach and Wayne Pearce played an origin night before and showed up to play this night like it were nothing. Insane toughness.

I am sure I saw this match live on telly. I recall Balmain winning this, but it was subsequent wooden spoon for the winners and minor premiership for the losers. I remember Fillipaina milking a penalty near the Easts line by gratuitously off-siding an Easts player during a play-the-ball, for some sort of scoring result.

Interesting that the Bros Gale were up against each other. Thanks for the upload mate

Thanks for sharing this.

This is how fair Rugby League was with a draft……. Uncheatable.EVERYONE gets a chance ,greed has taken over

Great game

great game.....man...slippery can run!!

Good flowing game back in the day, no video refs. Some great hits to.

Michael O'Connor made the right decision to go to Manly warringah, he won a premiership with them in 1987. A good player in rugby union and rugby league 🥇🥇🏆🏆🏉🏉👌😁😷

Go the sea eagles 🦅

As a fullback , my old Jersey Flegg coach would drill “never draw and pass against a tight 5 metre defender - bringing a long kick back . Risk is too high v any reward .

Hard to pick a man of the match . I can pick some shockers though Wests - Cameron Blair , Simonds were their best for them . Jason Taylor and Flanaghan were poor in spreading the ball . Henjak not starting ????? Typical Warren Ryan un really defence - not really picked up by the bears . How Flanaghan ever was graded was beyond me . I watched him gone through the saints ranks . Saints were short of hookers after guider and prior to Wayne Collins. Bears should have used their pace out wide a lot more and get around the ryan umbrella defence. Keep the ball alive against Ryan teams / quick play the balls . Flank / Go around Warren Around Teams with pace and ball movement Toole / Florimo / Rea / Larson / and outside backs played well when they got the ball and flanked the magpie umbrella defence Great to see Kiss playing 1st grade

there is no way they would be allowing anyone to sit in those trees these days. Wests should try to get out of that pointless joint venture with the Balmaniacs and team up with Norths. That magpie jersey is awesome and the Magpies are westies like the sand groupers. Perth can have the name, Norths can have the Bear logo and they could play in that fantastic magpie jersey.

Ha ! Bunnies fan here and I was there that day, right on the near tryline watching Slippery put the ball down right in front of me, I knew the game was lost then. What made it worse was I was there with a mate of mine who was a mad Saints supporter !

I went to this game. Had a few schooners over at Percy’s before and after the game 😁

Love these. Thanks

Imagine a NRL game 3pm on a workday. I think this was school holidays.

Beats watching these overpaid hairdressers weve got today👊

Trudgett and Wynne really added to St. George this season. Great buys both.

How to win with 12 men ✅
