I didn't know Rex was commenting back then

Old Rex calling games in 1968 gets very excited in his call too. Forward progress, one of his favourites. Looked this game up though it was played on the Saturday it was shown the next day, Sunday, on Channel 7 at 3.30pm interestingly was shown at the same time on Channel 9 and the ABC. Great coverage for league fans back then.

Love these old games. In backyard footy back then ( I was in the under 7s) I pretended I was everyone from Billy Smith to Bill Hamilton.

I was in the u7s as well a rabbitoh living in the Manly Warringah district, learnt to keep very quiet.
