Bye Week Trivia

Was just reading about the 72 World Cup, Australia lost the cup in a draw with England, interesting that Bozo missed 3 FG’s in the last 5 mins, Ward was in that side too.

Ward was also the Man of the match in the 72 GF.
 
A few interesting names on the list with one field goal for Manly. Eg:
Jack Littlejohn
Fred Jones
Max Krikich
Terry Randall
Steve Hegarty
Thought that Orford and Monaghan might have kicked quite a few as well ,
well maybe Ox more so

i was out at Penrith Park when Steve Hegarty kicked his field goal to break a draw and win us the game in the final minutes. The Riff is a dangerous place when the yocals lose in that fashion
 
That's Y DCE is one of our great, many times I was celebrating leaving a pub rubbing it in to da boys. Thought he was close but different era things are different now. Retired in peace champ

Amazing how things bring back memories, I share my birthday with Fred, (his a bit older than me) captained the clubs first GF win, (and again in 73, back to back, loved it) smashed over to score a try that day, goal kicking was the difference, 2 tries a piece, Branighan scored the other try and kicked 6 from 7 and Bozo the FG.

Just going back to the 72 World Cup, Ray had a kick in the 79th minute to win that game, 4 shots in 5 mins between the Manly boys. Game ended in a draw and again after 20 minutes of extra time, no golden point stuff, the internationals were played under the 4 tackle rule back then. England were awarded the Cup as a result of winning more games than us, we lost a game to France, was the last time they won one, Australia has 12 WC’s, England 3 and the Kiwis 1.
