1978 Finals series - motivate these blokes to avoid the spoon

Remember that sunny day like it was yesterday.

Rick was a cute and pesky half that tormented the Roos Captain Greg Pierce all game

Pity Rick was flicked by Arko for his off field bad behaviour.
He died young from some cancer RIP

He won the battle of the mustaches that day over grinner Pierce...

63 HE. What I had forgotten is that he played on the wing for the Balmain Grand Final team in 1988. He played his last year with them in 1989, but was not selected in their GF squad.

That was after the gym with Eadie and Randall went belly up I think. Eadie went to Halifax and Russell was still young enough to get an NRL gig. Randall went back to building, which he still does today, I believe.

Nobody was getting past them without a follow up by a Medic

A mere 40 years ago yet the memories are as joyous today

You notice in post #52 the comment was "a crowd of ONLY 52,000 turned up."

Beattie and tg would think that was awesome.

He was a bull.
