Thanks for the stats. Think I'm one of the only ones sad to see our magic home ground gone though :(
Yep, pretty much, Macy.
After 07, all our games against the Dogs moved to ANZ.
Maybe once we have our own stadium rebuilt, the games will move back to Parramatta.
S'all good.
Can anyone shed some light on the Leabeater send-off?
Yep, that was the last time we've won a game by a fifty point margin.
We actually had two 50-pt win margins that one year. One against the Knights also.
Presumably, yes, given Gillespie was binned during the same incident.
Was just wondering if anyone that was present at the game or remembers it can shed light on the nature of it and how it occurred.
