Thank you very much for supplying this video to the TH-cam platform. Most generous and thoughtful of you. I really enjoyed watching this. Have a great day 😊
The entire essence of the game was TOTALLY different compared to today. Far more emphasis on just playing the game than getting bogged down in strategy and sticking to rigid patterns. Not to mention actual jerseys instead of sponsor splattered t-shirts! Can we go back to this version of the NRL pleez????
@@TheTralfaz There was a reason for those jerseys being made in that fashion. The game was played mostly in the heart of winter. Winter in Australia was really cold. Imagine playing at Bruce Stadium week in and week out.
My uncle had a film of this GF that he showed me in 1974. He introduced me to all the SS players, I got a book of autographs and a roll of stickers off them. (I had never seen such big men in my life. They were huge) I was just a kid but I've bled red and green ever since. 2014 was a long time between drinks.
@@s.e.wagger3888 These men were legends of the game. They epitomised toughness, strength and determination. Plus they stood for something like George Piggins. He has to have a statue inside South Sydney HQ. I want them to include memorial of the men of that last great era of South Sydney.
@@paulrankin8578 They played for the love of the game, because it meant & valued something to them. Now they want $25,000 a game and just pass a ball and be recognised as some immortal. Let’s put those players of today in the field of the players of yesteryear and under the same rules and conditions, you’ll find out not just how soft but pathetic they are.
@@clevelandwilliams5922 You make really good points especially how precious modern day players are. How about that AFL player last round who knocked the drink out of the hand of a spectators hand who dared pat him on the back near the fence line? The spectator is banned from all AFL games until October 2024.Different game but same attitude. Crowds filled the field at full time surrounding players as they walked off or even during post game interviews trying for autographs at most suburban Rugby League games
South Sydney were still not entirely done. They won the pre-season competition straight off the following season. They had to come from 0 - 10 down at half-time to win 11 - 10 versus Eastern Suburbs. I think that was under lights at night. Then it was turd uphill forever after for the Rabbitohs.
The news wants to compare the 4 peat Panthers to the squad of South Sydney Rabbitohs. They better go to South Sydney HQ and show their respect to a foundation club. Without South Sydney there would be no Rugby League and definitely no Panthers. Go fix your pot holes 🕳️
Great game of football in a great era. Played by two great clubs….the high end class in both sides off the scale….

Minor premiers manly went out in straight set😵💫Chang slayed them in prem final💪🏻☝🏼
Excellent video & call of game,fab footy, crowd packed in,what was real figure
RL was a fantastic game to watch back then. The textbook tackling allowed quick play the balls.

I played as a kid....those jerseys were stinking hot, long sleeves, a real pain, no wonder they wear lightweight stuff these days
Yes pleeeeease!

Sadly, the way things are going, it's going to be a long time before the next drinks I think.

So much better than the robotic shit we have today
Funny now thinking about the "big" men in the forwards.
I think John Sattler weighed around 95kg.
Mist halfbacks would be bigger now.
I was there that got Beat in all grades had a few to many had to watch the next day to refresh my memory
A tough game back then
But since I was a teen it's more of a soft game
@@MisterPolitical1 I would agree
Yep. No padding on goal posts.

@@jonglewongle3438 Doesn’t matter because South Sydney Legacy was evident during their expulsion. Even Roosters supporters showed up
At the time 2 biggest clubs far infront from any other club ,Souths winning there 20th title and Dragons had 13 titles by 1971
Penalty for punching bring that rule back
Who is coaching Sts?

And how many premierships have you won in the last 50 years? - That's right 1
@ Their still No 1 even if they stayed out of the competition. Secondly there is a legacy in South Sydney it’s the team that many respect ✊ but hate.
