“Now back to a bit of football” 😂 classic Moose!!

[@jameshermes5576]

Man that was awesome, just throwing them

[@neil2550]

Best blu ever

[@dluap569161]

With 15 minutes to go and the game still alive, Phil Gould notices Les Boyd taking a breather on the goal line. Goes into dummy half and charges over the line. Smart player.

[@kurtflahavin5994]

4:42 Rex Mossop at his very best!

[@wessleymcgrath9768]

Jets, best Jersey ever.

When the real men played the game. Loved it, now not so much.

[@twelveytwelve]

Thugs are real men?

[@robinmeznaric9162]

The good old days

[@davidsargent9359]

So good to see risks aka footy , being played and taken. Watch Gould as he kicks for touch. He angles the ball toward the sideline , and reaps an extra 10-20 metres with each attempt. We could do it TODAY , but , it’s a risk 😉

I'm amazed people didn't die or end up as tetraplegics back in these days. That spear tackle at 8.44 😨

[@Andrew-fy9wu]

The referee was in line with the pass from Gibbs that went to Booth for the try. There is no way he couldnt see it was forward. The way Gibbs' body was angled he could only throw a forward pass.

This was one of the greatest David and Goliath battles ever. How many international players were in Manly's squad ? 11? Newwdown had Tommy and Whatsapacketta.

[@christhornton2501]

RIP Barry! Now go & find out if it is sin bin or sent off!

[@kw5732]

BRING back the BIFF!!

[@kinchegayowie6167]

Gus only mentioned this game last night

[@garybaltiejus7248]

The way footy was intended to be played

[@MachineThatCreates]

Basically everything they did back then is outlawed today yet the game is as dangerous as ever. Not as many knuckleheads these days but bigger stronger bodies result in uglier collisions.

[@chalkandcheese1868]

If these guys did nothing but spend 3 hours a day in the gym they'd be a lot bigger as well.

[@user-dj2yb6ne7k]

The game isn't half as tough now ,it's faster but no way is it tougher .

[@user-dj2yb6ne7k]

Your the knucklehead

[@neil2550]

Phils my Cousin,,met him once in the orient one Aust day

[@willrobinson4089]

Broadhurst's eyes matched his jersey 🤣

[@jon-francis9289]

"Sin bin or sent off. Barry do we know" "I don't know I didn't see it." "Well go and ask please". "Yes I shall". Poor old Barry. He used cop it all the time. Old Rex would be giving it to him. Those were the days.

[@4seenfamily551]

Who's here after gus telling the story of The fight at the beginning of the match?

[@lukesimpson3080]

Tommy was tough as nails, not like these cat halves today.

[@peterjongsma3221]

I played against John Dorahy at Schoolboy level in Wollongong. We got smashed.

[@elnielo1]

poor Barry😪

[@waynequick9888]

Thank god Rex Mossop doesn’t commentate these days.

[@SBD229]

Well he's dead

[@user-dj2yb6ne7k]

He was a good commentater

[@bumlord73]

Moose was the best!!!

[@dazhwood]

Tommy R picking Boyd lol every credit….go in deep what a bloke

[@paspascalis4467]

Animals. All on the spectrum of autism to play that game. Most had brain damage after they retired. It just wasn't diagnosed like it can be today. Not sure what those guys were, but they weren't men.

[@user-dj2yb6ne7k]

Your the animal .

[@hebejebe7036]

Grubs...

[@user-dj2yb6ne7k]

Yeah like your gf

[@GerardHammond]

Disgusting
