I was 8 years old when I saw Mel put that big bump on Artie live on TV. It always stuck in my memory and I haven't seen it ever since until now - 30 years on. I was on family holidays in Hervey Bay and it bought back some great memories. Thank you for uploading this great vid.
Saw him play when he played at St Helens the man was a legend one of if not the best I've seen. Pity you haven't included some of his Saints stuff like the Lancashire Cup final when he took wigan apart
Big Mal for Premier, no wait!... Big Mal for Prime Minister! Yes! I'd like to see those clowns try to backstab the big man. total carnage and then some common sense. What a refreshing thought.
Can someone explain to me what the deal with the footage from about 1:43? What cup are they playing for? I never knew any BRL clubs played NSWRL clubs back in the day? UP THE MILK!!
How much did meninga weigh toward the end of his career? He looks pretty damn big compared to the rest of the guys. I'd say easily 100 kg. And he can run too!
