Wonderful game,fab to see so many fave players from both sides, fierce competition,East denied fair try right corner about last 10 minute's, South smart enuf finally to not go for pen goal was winner,th short kick off by Easts in 2nd half just broke down with panic on attack,thanks so much for video. love
This season was the first time I can remember watching rugby league on television...I was 6 years old...the first game I saw was Balmain v North Sydney and the Tigers won 15-13 so I supported them for many years...my favourite player was goalkicking winger Len Killeen...the grand final this season was between South Sydney and Manly Warringah...Souths won 13 to 9... the next season, 1969, Balmain won the grand final by 11 points to 2 against South Sydney...
@@shehansenanayaka-n1othe commentator is Jim Shepherd, one of the most knowledgeable sport experts Australia has ever produced...his Encyclopaedia of Australian Sport has is a valued place in my book collection...he was also instrumental in preserving the early editions of Lee Falk's THE PHANTOM comics...unfortunately Jim passed away just a few months ago...
The action never stopped. No bunker , no challenges , 2 reserves only per side. Being honest , I am happier watching this than I am today’s NRL. And I am not a Rabbit or a Rooster.
That era marked real and proper play. Scrums were truly about contesting the ball. It was about 50/50 chance to gain territory and ball. It was a fair and just game.
The six tackle rule is an improvement I reckon, along with the 10m rule (introduced in 1983 I believe). As for contested scrums? I like the way modern Rugby Union does it..
Honestly, what a more watchable game with much more sane and enjoyable commentary

They were a different calibre of men than today.
They were virtually amateurs compared with today. They all had other jobs. Great players.@@useruseruseruseruser790
i was born the year this game was played my mother has been a roosters fan since 1960.
Eric Simms was an indigenous player and only 23 in this game. Another very good player.
four tackle rule, two point field goals, contested scrums & the ball thrown away just before the last scrum. Classic!
The six tackle rule is an improvement I reckon, along with the 10m rule (introduced in 1983 I believe). As for contested scrums? I like the way modern Rugby Union does it..
@@ivanjulian2532 5 meter rule was still applied in the 90’s.
@@clevelandwilliams5922 no it wasn't. Well maybe it was in your fantasy world.
@@ivanjulian2532no, I think field goals are a part of the skill and strategy of the game.
Channel 10 replay. Commentator Jim Shepherd.
The old rules created a very open game. Love the old scrums.
Brilliant 👏
Unreal, love it. Not so far from the speed and athleticism of todays game.
Good to see all the players with their Socks pulled up to bad most of today's players don't
Scums,what a mess,so right to b rid off,ok with present scrums, fab game to watch again
4 tackles wasn’t enough, 6 is much better. Other than that I prefer old style league
Give me commentary like this any day over the indulgent opinionated Moose Moffat
No horrible gang tackling in it
Look how metal everyone use to play!
It was madness. Very few men like this around today.
Robbed again just b s
