Anyone know where to see it anywhere on a pub or to buy?

Looks like its been painted from a photo of Rex Mossop or Roy Bull at North Sydney Oval. Those jerseys have always been my favourites. I thought in those days that the Bears had jerseys with saddles and large numbers indicating their positions, but this image must be from an earlier era - the late 50s, early 60s.
 
Manly robbed on that double movement call!

The manly style of play is recognizable even with unlimited tackles and a very skinny 5 yard rule. Always on the attack.
 
Thanks Bozo. I'd not seen that before. I am surprised at the number of times the defender kicked out at the dummy half.
Just shows you that today's style of play does have some advantages; 10 metre rule plus six tackles are improvements.
 
I’m keen on the poster. I might try calling some of the Breweries or might even take a snap with me when I go to Bali and see if I can get a replica made.


Tooheys is now owned by Lion.
They should have info on their historic posters.

I have the one below which is also done in that vintage pub poster style. As you can see, in it's day it's been stuck up and folded so is showing it's age. I saw the same poster, but in better nick, go for mid $200's on eBay recently.
