Brutal North Sydney match

I don't suppose anyone has a recording of that one game against North Sydney where our forwards were just absolutely brutal. I think it may have been a first semi-final (or just prior to the finals). Still just about my favourite game of all time (with the 81 grand final) and I keep bringing it up to people, but I'd love to be able to re-watch it, to see if my memory has glorified it over time.

  • No i don't have a copy of it but I may know someone who does. I'll let u know once I speak to him. Is that the match where video referee john gocher allowed a parra try after a pass was thrown from a player who was on the ground and well and truly tackled? That incident caused gocher to be the 1st vid ref to be sacked from the job.
    • we were at that game tone......best game ever...u could hear them big tackles  from anywhere in the stadium....how i wish we could play like that again

    • Well, judging by the responses here. If you can get a copy, there will be a few takers!

    • what a team that was! makes you sad to watch that then see what we have now. Also gotta note, Hardly any Polynesian players there at all.

    • What a game, me my mate were sitting under the leagues club billboard and got totally wasted by 3am.... Average backs professional forwards, f%ck B Smith could coach!!! I wonder if given the chance would Stuart have bought the 4 doggies or would he prefer short term pain?
    • Thx Turpey - SADLY - that was the best 15mins of Parra that I have enjoyed all year

  • This the game when dennis moran broke jason taylors nose?

  • Was a great game, watched it on a Friday night (98?) with my North Sydney mate who was seriously pissed off afterwards.
  • I think it was a semi final.  I remember sitting behind some former referees in the Thornett stand thinking the way we played would see a long line of players at the judiciary.  Absolutely brutal.  Jason Taylor went way up in my opinion on how tough he was after that match.
