Took ages to get this huge file combined with the end and then out of my computer and back into it. Thanks! Pain in the arse!

Great game, Balmain was just too professional for the young Panthers. The match up is insane, MG V Big Sirro, Royce V Benny and the Superstars , the late great Scotty Gale V the equally great Greg Alexander.

Where was big Blocker at? Wasn't he part of the Balmain team, back in the late 80's with Sirro???
