The Mark Harris try against Balmain at the S.C.G. Balmain won that match. That would have been the only Eastern Suburbs try. There was a dog running around amongst the players at another point in that match. And the Balmain try against Parramatta. It was Parramatta who won that, 14 to 10, said to be their most courageous win of the year..
You know, people claimed Manly was a one man side with Fulton, I disagree. Graeme Eadie was far and away their best Fulton was brilliant, Gartner Gibbs Randall Norton Stevens Krilich Martin Thompson( a man who stayed waaaay under the radar) and the rest. Still remember that year. All Parramatta could do was score tries from bombs. Probably why Glover couldn't catch it in the GF because it was actually passed to him. BTW for all the people who criticised Glover, you got it wrong, blame your half-back and hooker for giving away scrum penalties in easy kicking distance ( you could shoot for goal from scrum penalties back then)
Those were the days...!
Old Rex enjoyed good footy on any day but he loved calling Manly games when they played well.
how the hell did you get a copy of this?
Good ol Russel Fairfax, my PE teacher, we also had Des O'Reily as a science teacher. Fairfax was a great guy.

Brilliant stuff 👏 Eagle Eric!!
far out these fullas are way better than i expected players to be that long ago. plenty of solid players
The final try in this video at a packed Leichhardt Oval is a belter. That’s rugby league.
Wonderful stuff. Really appreciate the videos you post. Well done mate!
The Terry Hill try against West's got voted try of the year. Unfortunately it was such a thrashing by then that Rex's enthusiasm had long gone.
Outstanding content EE
Rex used to have the Hunter Douglas (Later Mazda) try of the week
