S'funny (well interesting) to see just how different concussions were talked about, experienced and err dealt with 'back then.'

And a western suburbs - Newcastle amalgamation was threatening!

This does really spell out how things have changed in the world.
Imagine if a newspaper put a 16yo girl in a bikini now just for some filler!

Your conscience can be soothed by knowing that she is 53 now and possibly a granny.

Interesting reading, thanks for posting them.

Funny to read Warren Ryan complaining about Manly being 'spoiled rich kids' way back then. Assuming people scrolled past the 16 year old in a bikini..wtf

It was an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini
That she wore for the first time today.

So in the locker she wanted to stay.

Gocher described St George's claim that TWO referees should control a game after Sunday as.... Ludicrous

Cheers eagle66 for all the old articles. Great reading.

I've never understood why in this day and age Manly never moved from maroon with white hoops for when at home and white with maroon hoops for when on the road. Best uniforms in sport. And that 80's era logo impossible to beat as well.

Rd 12 Great result vSS and CityCountry squads

 

[eagle66]

R13 washed out, no report but plenty to read

Maybe the imposter sports writers can come here and take a lesson on how it used to be done PROPERLY.

Yes, one of my all time favourites. Some of those tries from the era could have only been scored by him. Sad he didn't kick on at Manly. Still had a very good career.
