My dad went to this grand final, and he told me that Anzac parade was bumper to bumper all the way back to Kingsford and Cleveland st all the way back to city road at Broadway.

Very exciting game. Packed to rafters literally. South’s were great then What a team

[@billmago7991]

Love the old style goal kicks, five yard rule,coathangers, unlimited tackles, scrums, field invasion at full time, that crowd and what was it back then $200 a win 50 bucks a loss?? 😁

[@user-fn2br8yo7q]

I doubt any current team could handle either of these 2 teams. Best 2 teams in history.

And a try is on the way.....

Souths beat St. George twice in the minor premiership. I think Balmain might also have done that in 1966.

But St George won the games that really counts.. the Grand Finals .. Souths and Balmain the bridesmaids on both counts... 🤗

La bravoure est une monnaie de convention : tel va chercher hardiment la mort dans les rangs ennemis, qui tremble devant le fer du bourreau. Il y a de faux braves comme il y a de faux jetons. A dire vrai, la bravoure est une qualité innée ; on ne se la donne pas. Napoléon Bonaparte
