I was looking back on our 1997 season when I was doing this video whilst things are a bit quiet in terms of Rugby League currently. What were your memories of our 1997 season?
We were up 18-0 in the first semi-final v Newcastle and lost 28-20. Next week we were leading North Sydney and got chased down.

Yes, but didn't we get smashed by Newcastle (as in physically, not necessarily on the scoreboard) and had key players drop like flies during that game? From memory, most of them were then out the following week against Norths.

We were up by plenty, they started to come back, and then Jason Bell broke his arm and we lost! Nothing was ever mentioned afterwoods in the media of losing Belly but he was as important to us as Joey was to the Knights!!

"Well said Bup. Had someone comment to me that no point blaming the coach when they forget how to tackle. I replied so it is all the players? He said they should know this. Right so if they should know it, why have a coach? Save money and let them do…"

Decent one but again we fell short, from memory it was B Smiths first year? Lost minor semis?

I think we won the world sevens that year?
We did, we beat Norths in the final.
Same as most years ...there is always next year.
I think from memory we lost to the knights after being 3 tries up at one point
Correct
