Manly Videos Archive

Despite the loss, these highlights from the 1970 GF are interesting to watch.

See Bob Batty, Derek Moritz, John McDonald, Bill Hamilton, Freddy Jones, John Bucknall, Bozo etc.


The 4 tackle rule was a dud, it was a game of field goals, and Manly was building toward 1972.
 
Are you sure?

I mean I was just flicking through the 1997 game v the knights and saw:

Passes actually going backwards,
Deep back lines
No wrestling
Players playing the ball if injured without a trainer immediately running on and stopping the game for 5 mins
Ref (singular) letting the game flow.

Are you sure you uploaded rugby league games? Seems unrecognisable!
yep, didn't even stop the game when tooves took a kick to the head
 
I've had a bit of a hankering to view the 1978 Manly v Parramatta Minor Semi Final (13-13 draw) and Replay (17-11 to Manly).
However, it seems these are not readily available.

Appreciate any links etc.
 
Good play by Eadie, Gartner and Randall.

Nice try to McMahon set up by Artie, Randall and the crow early on. Customary runaway try by gartner not long after. Bozo is commentating, must have been injured.

This is really entertaining, Wales not half bad.

Big hit from Randall at about 9 min 30. Good game from Terry and Eadie.


The Haka (approx 46m30sec) is a lot diff today then back then.

That is some thin padding on those posts!

Bozo didn’t play at all in the 1977 World Series.

Noting that he was at the Goosters by then, not such a bad thing.
 


Unfortunate result, coulda been a three peat.

Good try to rocket rod, and bozo.

Dirty scrap between Tommy and bozo.

Bozo sooks at max brown. Sore loser, bozo.
Manly lost this game 23 - 20. This game is infamous for a late Manly try that was unfortunately disallowed. Why the ref didnt go to the bunker, I dont know. The try would have levelled the scores with a kick from Eadie to come to possibly win it. I have a clipping from my scrap book (remember them) about this:
