** the recording ends abruptly with less than 2 minutes remaining - for the record Cronin did kick the last points of the game.
unbelievable try by slippery morris - what speed!!
A great crowd at belmore with bulldogs not playing.
St George finished the 1982 season in 10th position - the lowest in the clubs history at that point .Granted they finished 8th and wooden spooners in the 8 team comp in the 1938 season .
Minor Premiers & Premiers in 1979 the Dragons would dip into 3rd place in 1980 , 8th in 1981 ( 12 team comp) 10th in 1982 ( 14 team comp) , Win a playoff V The Roosters in 1983 season -then winning the Minor Semi before losing in week 2 of the finals.
In 1984 The Dragons finished in 3rd place and were beaten By Parra then knocked over Souths before losing to Parramatta again in the Preliminary Final by a point .
Odd as it sounds i think St George had a better chance of winning the '84 Grand Final if they gotten there as opposed to the 1985 Grand Final . Both Saints and the Bulldogs had a few residual players from the 1979 and 1980 Premiership winning sides sides and would have been chomping at the bit in 1984 had they faced off.
By 1985 , even though the Dragons were runaway minor premiers , The Bulldogs experience in winning the 1984 Grand Final gave them that edge .
I cant believe the Eels played in different colour jerseys in the 2nd half?? WTF?
This was a deliberate ploy to have their jerseys clash with the referees jersey. Parramatta ran their own show in those days.
do you have any rugby league vhs tapes yourself ?
No mate the ones I have are already converted to dvd.
