I have never seen this game but I have heard of it
It is one of the many games and in many footy codes in history that proves
THE MOST COMPETETIVE TEAM
CAN BEAT A TEAM OF TALENTED PLAYERS
AS RESILIENCE CAN BEAT BRILLIANCE
In 1969 the the competetive Tigers played Souths the best team of talended players which included star-studded line-up led by a pack featuring four future Hall of Famers in captain John Sattler, Ron Coote, Bob McCarthy and John O'Neill.
On paper the game was a no contest
The Tiger though made it a contest by their shrewd coach tactics and competetive never say die resilient effort form his players on the field
Allan Fitzgibbon, was a young Balmain centre in the grand final. When asked about the Tigers' dubious tactics in
The Great Grand Final Heist, he said: "They were a great side [and] if we played the way they wanted us to play, we were going to get killed. So whatever tactics we had to employ to keep us in the contest, well, that’s what we did."
On paper and on form , No one gave us a chance of victory against the Warriors and not even most of our supporters that lost heart
But Des and our team put heart back into our proud Manly jersey and played with heart and courageously competed resiliently and won the game against all the odds
