Absolutely loved this! I feel like every try looks the same these days. So much off the cuff attack from anywhere on the field in those days. I never liked Glover as a kid but he was a very good winger. Tragedy that he is best remembered for the 1976 GF errors.
Good point, these clips remind or highlight that some of these players are remembered for the wrong reasons. Gloves was a good winger, pacey and hard to stop.
I enjoyed every minute of that. Great jerseys - every team! My favourite players from that era were Greg Cox, Dennis Bendall, Russell Fairfax, Artie Beetson, Russell Gartner and Johnny Gibbs.
@@eagleeric2598 a great read for a young boy in the UK with these players made out to be super heroes. Saw some play for Australia with Ian Schubert the one who made the biggest impression.
The Manly try against West's scored by Terry Hill actually got the try of the year on channel 7. Rex wasn't too excited because it was such a blow out by then.

Good assortment of favourites. I can't seem to narrow down to that few
Best one yet Eric, bringing the Big League magazines to life.
Thanks @michaelinman8525. Weren't they a great read in their day?

A brilliant response by Rex from a Manly try at 12:27
Thank you,,,,brings back great memories 🫶
Glad you enjoyed it
Big request but any material from Manly v Easts in 76’? My uncle was man of the match in that one
Which match Rd 7 where ES won 19-18 or Rd 12 where MW won 17-12?

Did they use mitre balls in 76? White and that beige one.
@@glencoe1266 all the tough questions
probably any old ball laying around the sheds
@@eagleeric2598 I like balls
Watch the players playing the ball after being tackled. They play it correctly. Now its tunnel ball ! Why ?
