I was at this match ( been in Mr Smiths for the New Years Eve 87 ). The atmosphere was electric and full of spite and so it should be , it’s a local derby not some Rah Rah match The Rugby League on show was terrific considering the conditions . Some fantastic players on show . Andy Gregory one of my favourite players of all time who also had a great season at Warrington. Hanley , Les Boyd ( Aussie tourist 78 and 82 ) John Woods , Des Drummond , all quality .

This was my childhood. Watching full guts and glory battles, fought for pride not a pay packet. No fancy hairstyles, no tattoos, no under-soil heating. And I used to relive it all years later in the back of Graeme West's taxi on the way home from King Street. I once remember someone trying to run off without paying their fair. Graeme was in his 50s by then and had the fella in under 25 yards. The lad never walked the same again after that!

No interchange back then, only allowed 4 subs. Once you came off you stayed off. As the heavier players became tired it opened the field up for the little generals to shine. Most players had to be solid 80min players. So miss the "softening up period" where both sets of forwards would pummel the shit out of each other for the first 10-20 minutes. Today's game is to sanitised. Get rid of the interchange and bring back players who play with heart when the going gets tough and the players get tired.

Hopefully someone who knows rugby can answer this question for me. At 3:30 a kick is made that goes out of bounds(if that’s how it’s said). What is the purpose of that kick? What rules of rugby were broken that lead to that kick being necessary? Was the kick made by the team being penalized? I’ve never understood what that play is a result of and it’s general purpose.
@robboxify
@robboxify 3 жыл бұрын
it's the result of a penalty, the kicker gets a 'free' punt downfield. the play restarts where the ball crosses the touchline. It's done to gain ground, though if preferred the player can also take a quick tap and start play from the point of the infingement or if in range can attempt a place kick for goal which would bring 2 points.

Good to see Ellery Hanley in action after all this time.. 'Soccer is a gentleman's game played by hooligans. Rugby Union is a hooligan's game played by gentlemen, and Rugby League is a hooligan's game played by hooligans.'
