- Highlights from some spectacular tries scored by Eastern Suburbs (today known as the Sydney Roosters) in the 1975 season. This side won 19 premiership games in a row, won the Grand Final 38-0 (in the days when tries were worth only 3 points) and is widely acclaimed as the best club rugby league side the world has seen. Enjoy as you sit back and watch the brilliance of Shubert, Mullins, Brass, Harris, Peard, Mayes, Artie, Coote, Walters, Reilly and many more.
If you like the footage, why not buy the 1975 season highlights DVD.

SERIOUSLY i had forgotten how good this team was, especially the tries scored by Ian Schubert and Mark Harris. Even Des O'Reilly scoring tries. UNBELIEVABLE football team.
Certainly by far the best team in their time . Great brand of football- supreme support play - unbelievable backing up.
Proud to say my uncle was Peter Moscatt RIP... Replaced this year 75' by Elwyn Walters but from 71 through to late 70's I never missed a game. Saw all these tries, loved Mark Harris, what a big centre he was for back then. Miss the Sportsground. Johnny Peard's sister Margaret married Peter so you can't get anymore of an Easts supporter... Thanks for posting
Great to see all the old footy jumpers.
Born in 75 I'm a Mad Roosters fan What a year
Unbelievable, I was about 10 and went to every game. I was a proud proud roosters supporter and this brings back amazing memories. The love of my young life for years was Russell Fairfax - Fullback, lived and breathed the roosters. My jersey had his name stamped all over it with the No.1 Thanks for the memories.
Started supporting Easts in 1974 and Russell Fairfax was my inspiration. Go Easts!!!
Can lay claim to be a top three club side in the history of the game 19 wins straight still stands,an amazing team.My No1
Thanks so much for this gem. Mark Harris' try at 6mins58secs is the best try I have ever seen and I'm proud to say I saw it happen. He might as well have walked because nobody could stop him.
Yep, used to watch Harris as a kid..... speed, swerve, off loads, silky hands, but a steam train, unstoppable. One of the greats of all time... then again, Beetson, Coote, Bunny Reilly, Mayes/Junee, Brass, Mullins, Fairfax..... amazing team... the brainchild of Jack Gibson.... the way they threw the ball around was groundbreaking..... great memories 👌
Roosters 1975 season is one of the best of all time
In my opinion that Roosters side of 1975 is one of the best rugby league side’s of all time,even too the point of representation sides You could have just put them all in a Australian jersey and they would have beaten the world. Thanks for the memories 😀
Played Newtown Juniors in the 60’s with a speedy winger called Bruce Pickett.
Next thing he’s in this Easts premiership winning side.
Artie Beetson... greatest ball distributer in the history of the game. Nuff said.
Era when Newtown Jets or Blue Bags were playing top flight Rugby League in NSWRL
That bought back some great memories. Loved it
Many old timers will have a very strong argument for St.George 1959 being the best ever, undefeated that year,just one 20-20 draw against Balmain in which Saints scored 6 tries to 2 Keith Barnes 7 goals keeping Tigers in the game.But as a Souths fan i'll always say the 1975 Eats team were the best club team i ever saw!!! Now i ll wash my mouth out with soap n water.
Big Arthur put a few in, great ball player for a front rower
Sydney? Back then they were the Eastern Suburbs Roosters, thank you!
Love this footage. I hope I can find some more. Thank you
That No. 11 might have a big future.
north sydney oval just as i remember it a dust bowl☝🏻
Any team that had the greatest prop of all time, Artist Beetson, the legendary Ron Coote at lock, a three quarter line of Brett Mullins, John Brass, Mark Harris, and Ian Schubert, and the brilliant Russell Fairfax at fullback, with super coach Jack Gibson, would under current coaching and diet regimens, be unbeatable. Penrith and Melbourne, Souths 2014 and Nth Qld 2015 would not get close. Only Trent Robinson's Roosters could compete.
@TombstoneHeart I agree. even though the number of minutes per try today is less than in was in 1975 (10 minutes per try now, 13.2 in 1975) there is a lot more variety that the high kicking and passing that dominates today.
Second try at 0:14 seconds, John Brass could nearly have drowned!
thanks for this.......time machine stuff
It wasn't the defence was bad,it was the attack was so good.Nobody could stop Big Artie from offloading even with 3 to 4 players on him.

He looked pretty much average at best going by these highlights
@@youtubearchive3668 Unfortunately the footage doesn't show him at his best.I was watching a lot of matches then and he,Ron Coote,Bunny Reilly,Ian McKay,etc just outmuscled their opponents all over the comp.
Is that Doug Parkinison singing Rooster man.
Back up, back up and back up.
Great footage, when rugby league actually meant something.
Unfortunately the music is ridiculous and has nothing to do with 1970's.
Ian Schubert, what an amazing 18 year old he was!
My brush with fame. I played against him once as a 16 year old in high school.
@Kennychiello -its fantastic the NRL have released some club action from the 70s!
i hope they do more -
I am pretty sure the try from Mark Harris at 6.58 was from the kick off. I was at the game at the SCG. The game was 5 seconds old when Fairfax caught the kick off on the full and flicked it to Harris. He busted through Rod Reddy at the line and made Langlands look like an amateur. Great footwork for a big man moving at speed. I was sitting in the Bradman stand and Harris was running directly towards us. I was 9 and haven't seen that try again until now, some 40 years later. A great memory of Harris at his peak. Pity he was injured and couldn't play the '75 grand final. He was a big man but when you are 9 years old he was a giant.
+doobiedanable I thought Mark Harris was over in Canada as a kicker in the football over there, possibly not injured?
+absolutebore He played for Montreal .
Harris was injured in the 1975 semi final and was replaced by John Rheinberger for the grand final. Rheinberger was plucked from obscurity by Jack Gibson. The Dragons are lucky Harris didn't play or it could have been 50-0 in the decider. Mark Harris played gridiron in 1973.
If you like the footage, there's a superb DVD of the season highlights (about an hour long) and full Grand Final footage available on oo.com.au (a club sponsor). There's a link to it in the video description
Maybe someone can help me out here? We had a Roosters supporters group and it was run by a guy slightly bald maybe in his late 30’s I think by the name of Brian and perhaps his mum helped out too. We used to pay 20 cents per game ( not sure what we were paying for come to think of it ) but there was quite a few of us and we would meet up and sit together every weekend. We made quite a crowd with our flags and noise when we would beat the crap out of the alumni signs attached to the fence when the opposing team were setting up for a goal. We usually sat at one end of the ground between the gold posts. The girls in our group were Narelle then there was Kerrie and her friend who came from maybe Eastwood. Ring a bell to anyone.
a time before the advertising blight on the jersey. :)
some fairly ordinary defense from Southes, Norths and Newtown,...
The defence was not nearly so bad as St. George’s in the Grand Final. By my calculations St. George missed about 70 tackles that afternoon - one missed tackle a minute! I have never seen a worse record for missed tackles since.
In fact, the Roosters’ 1974 Grand Final performance was undoubtedly better than their 1975 effort because the opposition was so much better.
@@guodade2239 🤔not sure about that comment ,except for changas glaring mistakes st george were giving them a fair challenge by half time and were unlucky not to be ahead😩gibson knew to aim the traffic at langlands early 2 nd half once they had 20 point lead dragons gave up☝🏻
@@poitor5915 I think St George reached their absolute best in the first half.But by the second half they were physically and mentally exhausted from all the tackling and effort from the first half.Added to this were Graeme Langlands trying to play on while injured so he can go out a winner.The coach should have been strong enough to say No but how can he argue against a legend like Langlands
@@limkakofred5529 yes they were different times alright captain/coach no one too hook you facer tried at halftime no wonder they had no direction in 2nd half with those two yelling at each other😩chang was stubborn in his later years in my opinion and should of done what was best for the team and went back to the centres and put goodwin at fullback☝🏻
Fans of the modern game keep telling us that today's players are bigger, fitter, faster and so the game is better, except for one thing..Its boring..oh God, its so boring. Games like those shown here display all the best of league as it should be..players of all sizes..standing tackles and off loading...set plays..and when that don't work..just wing it..use your imagination. And what about that Mark Harris. He must have a been a scary sight running at you!
I agree. Offloading was a big highlight for me with the likes of Beetson especially.
Now the tackling is too precise. No one misses either.

Lol modern sport is degenerate
How many tries did Johnny Mayes score?
He scored sixteen. Four against Canterbury in one match.
Four tries is extraordinary for a halfback, but Mayes also scored four for Manly in 1973 against Penrith. Manly won that latter game 70-7, equivalent to 84-8 with four-point tries and the highest score between 1936 and 2002.
Is this the match where Norm Dare ran off the field to avoid a penalty for having too many players?
I am trying to find some footage of Mark Harris when he left league for Gridiron, has anybody got any or know where I can get some??
The roosters one 19 games in a row in 1975 and one the comp so thay went one better than storm I don't think any team will beat that bare the chooks 2022 winners hands down
I think the only teams that managed to beat the Roosters were Cronulla,Penrith and St George.And that was only during the rep season when the Roosters had so many players called up for NSW and Australia
who was the referee @2.52 looks like either French or English? Must ve been out here for the 1975 world cup at the time
It sure is Doug
What number was Ron Coote
I think he varied between 8 and 10.
@@rosshawthorne6943 thanks mate
3:55 nowadays they would've called that up
Roosters 1975
@Kennychiello awesome song (first one) whats it called mate! Go the ROOSTARS
..where is the original commentary ?
guyfawkes lost in time....
The Artie Beetson offload at 0:38? Try that some-time. Then he carries four over at 6:55.
He'd beat you with muck and muscle, or with a glance and a well timed step to create the gap.
The rest of 'em? Basically an entire team of Terry Lamb style support players. Try beating that!

Half of whom were better than the “immortal” lol
Burn in My Light. It used to be Orton's entrance music in the WWE,
Gamers looked better at the SCG too.
Glory days of rugby league before Pacific islanders stuffed it.
