That was a great Newtown side. Nearly won the grand final as well, but were eventually overrun by a Parramatta side that had practically the entire Australian backline. Moose was a one-eyed Many supporter, so he'd never admit that Eadie's heel might have touched the line in the disallowed try.
Phil Sigsworth will go down in history as an underated fullback. He eventually defected to Cantabury and was sensationally sent off in the 1986 grandfinal.
Warren 'Wok' Ryan, one of the Cronulla Sharks originals. I used to see him all the time in the Pagewood Hotel, knocking back a 'sherbert' after work. I don't know where he is these days. Very laid back guy. Anyone older than 65 yrs who remembers who the other panelists are? Edit: and Eadie's foot was on the line Rex (one eye white, one eye maroon).
When I was a young man about twenty five years ago I was really drunk in a bar and saw Wok so I approached him ..I was loud and probably annoying but he was such a gentleman and we had a chat about Rugba League
From left to right, Col Pearce (radio caller & journalist, top referee of his time), Noel Kelly ( Norths & Wests, International player & 1st Grade Coach), Rex Mossop, Warren Ryan (premiership winning coach) & Ferris Ashton ( International & Easts player)
Yeah, he was my teacher at High School. I don't know who caught who out, but we bumped into him at Canterbury Leagues, we should have been at Maths lessons.
@eagleeric2598 didn't know Warren Ryan was a school teacher, but that makes sense somehow . Des Hasler, Roy Masters, Ricky Walford and a few others over the years.
Bowden should have been sin binned instead of sent off? You have got to me kiddin me! In a '79 controversy corner, Rex and Kelly were bemoaning the fact that the game was getting too dirty and that needed to be stamped out ... with send offs. lol
Great work Mate, Oh the Memories of Rex and controversy Corner
Little dust up at the beginning of the game is an understatement
no kidding...thats was brutal..Broadhurst had broken eye socket and broken cheek
4:58 forward pass from Gibbs for a try….any comments, Rex?
Phil "What's-A-Packet-A" Sigsworth best footy nickname ever

Yet he never mentioned the try to Manly which was forward.

@@StuartRyan-dn5uphad a rather inauspicious shot at origin. I’d have the Dragons’ Brian Johnson as one of the most underrated fullbacks
You wanna hear a biased commentary. The worst of all was John Singelton. It was hilarious to listen to him call a Newtown game.

@sebastianbivona5808 Thanks, they were names I hadn't heard in years. But you've jogged my memory now (and made me feel ancient).
Sadly Warren is the only one left.
is there more from this controversy corner or has it been edited down?
there's more
Wok was a tough old fashioned coach.
Very astute.
He was. Always coached to his strength. He was the sports master at Belmore Boys and that was how he coached them.
When I was a young man about twenty five years ago I was really drunk in a bar and saw Wok so I approached him ..I was loud and probably annoying but he was such a gentleman and we had a chat about Rugba League
You forget that Phil Gould was a player.
And he's got his own hilarious yarn about this game: ua-cam.com/video/GyZGi5kLy1A/v-deo.html (almost certainly with a lot of poetic licence taken)
He was a pretty good player as well.. don't be fooled Gus is a pretty tough hombre
Who are all the dudes on the panel.

@@eagleeric2598 thanks alot.
That Newtown side could have been anything had they been able to keep their players and keep adding like teams do today, 2 years later they were gone!
Old tommy had a sport store in westpoint blacktown i bought my first pair of boots from him in 1977 seen a lot of him in blacktown in the early days
Interesting how they are grateful for then being allowed to have replacements, yet, today they have interchange and it's totally taken for granted!
Sin bin a failure that shouldn't be in the game 😂 love these old shows!!
They are but we complain when they aren't used.
It's time to bring back that 'mousetrap' play... :)
Wok looks like he’s ready for another beer!
Yeah, he was my teacher at High School. I don't know who caught who out, but we bumped into him at Canterbury Leagues, we should have been at Maths lessons.

@@tigerwarsaw99 Sports Master. He would have the Wests Under 23's at the school gym training sometimes.
'He was reading the script' yeah and he still is.

This is like a group of blokes chatting in the pub 😂😂
Yeah, but enjoyable
That sin bin is a failure that will never last
3.37 love rex
Wok with an Orange Juice😂
Unthought of. Sure it isn't a KB or Resch?
The Newtown Jets turned into a cop team
Bowden was lucky he used his forehead Broahurst knew how to fight
Rexxxxxxyyyyyy flashback
