Great stuff, not only for the game but the social history, league has changed so much since then it's not funny, not as good imo. Used to watch these ABC games, 6-7pm on Saturday nights, they also had the rugby union on in the arvo!
Cronin had a shocker two weeks with the boot and cost parra a premiership. Imagine if he had his accurate boots on, parra would have won 77 in a canter, they were the form side in the finals.
I agree with you about Micks poor kicking , but don't know about the Eels being the form side of the finals . The Eels only lost 3 games during the 22 rounds and were Minor Premiers , but were beaten by St George 10-5 in the Major Semi . The Dragons finished the season in 2nd place and won both their semis to get to the Grand Final . As for the Grand Final ......the missed Mick Cronin kick put the kibosh on the Eels winning their 1st title .
@@MERCURYSUNSET Yeah i guess i made that comment without taking the dragons games into consideration. But after this game they were red hot, the roosters just couldn't get through the mighty eels defence. Mick cost them dearly.
@@glencoe1266 All good mate . Parramatta's defence was great and they were quick with their play the balls and running a good attacking game here . Mick's poor kicking sadly caught up them in the big game .
Ron Hilditch tiled our house in Kellyville in 1979. I was 13 at the time and thought that was awesome. Nice bloke. How did you get this ? Tape to CD conversion a long time ago ?
In the early 1970s the in-laws were having some sort of work done at their home and the brother-in-law sad to me, " You know of that former footballer, Peter Diamond ? Well, that's him. ". Lugging something through a doorway. I was more than half-way thinking that he was joking, but he was most probably not, thinking back on it since.
Go PARRA,,,,how have you got this,unreal
i think I was there that day, ... that's a long time ago.
Huge difference from today in the surnames.... back then it was all old Anglo-Saxon names, now almost anything but.

Cronin was such a great centre. Great technique.
Was Sipowicz playing? NYPD Blue.
Love the 70s games. Ever seen 74 major semi, East’s v Dogs?
Why is Arthur Beetson suspended? It's too bad.

Yeh something like that a mate gave it to me years ago!

Forget about Fulton's time with Roosters. Just think Fulton Manly
Easts were favourites over eels because of Bob Fulton
