Still the no-tackle count set-up in 1966. This was why, up until then, there was the striking for the ball in the play-the-ball. Nothing to lose as regards extending the tackle count, other than being pinged for premature striking.
@@clevelandwilliams5922 Like striking for the ball in a rugby union ruck or mall, which I always thought was a bit nasty. A wonder that few players ever got a face full of boot sprigs, watching that. Rugby union adherants, usually sprung from the Conservative private school environs, used to pan rugby league as pansy ' stop and start ' stuff with the tackle succession, but rugby league had a fluid moving structure, whereas rugby union involved stagnating and time consuming rucks, and circumvention of play with simply kicking the ball out, often on the full, to get the opposition momentarily off your backs.
The latter. They went for something less old school hokey in 1973 and so formally became the Jets. Canterbury-Bankstown only took on the Bulldogs moniker as of the late 1970s, and divested themselves of the stupid " Berries ".
You'd have to think that St. George were the better side. Six tries to one. We don't have the entirety of play here, nor that of the referee-ing, but nevertheless nothing much for Newtown to gripe about here.
Nice video, thanks for the upload. Newtown would have been the Bluebags then, becoming the Jets in the '70s.
Not surprised Beath ran that winger down. Barry played a test against NZ as a winger himself.
I'm pretty sure they were still the bluebags in 1966

It was still like Rugby Union to why Union players could easily adapt to League.

so many tries scored by the saints....but they were not shown.....how odd
JOHN DAY I think you would like to know there's a misspelled word on your introduction page .
NEWTOWN JETS I think rather than Newton jets .
What a great side
Were Newtown Jets or Blue Bags in '66?

Blue Bags.
Newtown became Jets when Singo took over...and they plummeted a few years later...

No wrestling the tackled player.
