Struddy v Bennett

Rewind back to 1984 and check out the rivalry between Souths Magpies coach Wayne Bennett and Valleys Diehards coach Ross Strudwick during the time of the BRL preliminary final. Struddy's shenanigans just before kick-off are legendary.

On ya Struddy, one of many who knew how to rile up Bennett! 👏👏

Good to see the Struddy v Bennett fued making the pages of Wayne Bennett's latest book.

[@michelledavidson8190]

I agree here after reading that story in the book.

[@andydavidson6841]

Great times. BRL comp unreal

[@TheRetroRugbyLeagueArchives]

Yep this is in Wayne’s book

[@wazzahouserock]

Wayne hasn't changed. Good old Struddy.

@mig196811 I guess I'm going more on the final result of this match as to who won this contest in the final analysis. But you're right; Struddy definitely got under Bennett's skin. He is still clearly agitated by Struddy in the post-match interview. It's funny to watch.

Great spelling from Cha7 Wyane? Bennett

[@darrenwalker9777]

I’ll be stuffed.......Valleys actually ran out, it was usually like witnessing a funeral march when they came out 🙄
