40 Year Anniversary since 1975

Next year will be 40 years since our great triumphs of 1975. It would be great to recognise this with a function inviting then coach Norm Provan, reserve grade coach Terry Fearnley, the players who were involved and fans. Maybe the NRL would finally release the highlights footage they have of the semi final playoffs and semi finals. It was a landmark year as we also won our first ever competition - the pre season Wills Cup with John Vincent diving over in the corner to seal the win. Maybe this could be done as the theme for a Grand Final lunch/dinner? Over to you Larissa and Phil........

Turtle replied "I got mugged by 2 snails but it all happened so fast................ 

  • One of the greatest rugby league feats achieved. Especially when you consider in those days no prisoners were taken. Arguably close to the equivalent of a title when you consider where they came from.
    • Loved Sarfraz. He used to be one of my favourites to mimic in the cricket nets. Running in with both arms straight down either side of his body before raising his left arm and letting rip. Great memories and avatar. 

  • While still walking I came across a sign that read "Talking Dog For Sale". I went in and asked the dog if he had enjoyed his life and the dog replied "I have helped the poor, I have fought in the Gulf and now I read books to the elderly in nursing homes". I asked the owner "Why are you selling such a fabulous animal" and the owner replied "because he's a liar, he didn't do any of that...........

  • Waiting for Tele.

Prof. Daz replied to Roy tannous's discussion Can Pezet leave already
"Pezet had 3 runs, 5 kicks, 2 errors, and 3 try assists. Let's be frank, two of his try assists were fluke kick/regather efforts by others and his try a fluke kick/regather by himself. Ryles played possum about what he has to work on in the press…"
