The first 1-0 result?View attachment 3483View attachment 3484
These two teams made history in 1973.
Do you know what happened?
Bigtom, you could be right, but the time these two teams met in the semi final was significant because it resulted in a 12 all draw. There was no alternative but to schedule a rematch at the Sydney Sports Ground on the following Tuesday. I remember it well, because I turned up for work on the Monday and my boss told me I had to have tomorrow off to play in the curtain raiser.The first 1-0 result?
Keep em coming 20-40. This is awesome.Bigtom, you could be right, but the time these two teams met in the semi final was significant because it resulted in a 12 all draw.

Jack Gibson coached the bluebags and Changa was Captain Coach of Dragons. The game was unexpected and drew a small crowd of 28k. Helped myself to a couple of beers from the jets shed, courtesy of a generous sponsor, and sat on the hill to watch the 2nd half. 😁
And I was going to go for the 1-0 score line !Keep em coming 20-40. This is awesome.
Let's do more like this but leave it up for about 5 or so replies before giving the answer. Like a preseason guessing comp to ease the boredom. Love it! 😻
I think Pringle captained the jets and they had a reputation as a very good defensive team. Dragons threw everything at them without breaking their resolve. I could be wrong but I don’t think there were points scored in the 2nd half?And I was going to go for the 1-0 score line !
Gotta love the memories.
Fifty years ago 20/40 but think you are correct.I think Pringle captained the jets and they had a reputation as a very good defensive team. Dragons threw everything at them without breaking their resolve. I could be wrong but I don’t think there were points scored in the 2nd half?
😂 Has it been that long Browny? that time has gone by so quickly. I had to check. Dragons lead 5-3 at halftime. Final score Dragons 5- Newtown 8.Fifty years ago 20/40 but think you are correct.
I would say both defences were on top that day.

Shame we didn't get to see Tuqiri and TNT together for a single gameTaniela is the greatest player this club has ever had,shame about the ankle
Would’ve won the comp in 2010 if Taniela didn’t get injured.Shame we didn't get to see Tuqiri and TNT together for a single game
Provan heading for the line, passes to Parker, Parker to Williams...Williams is over!!!And don’t forget the immortals brother, Peter, who was a mighty Tiger.
And I was sitting 2 rows back in the Paddington hill corner right where Sid scored.Provan heading for the line, passes to Parker, Parker to Williams...Williams is over!!!
That’s enough evidence for those who haven’t seen him play.Because Jack played for both Balmain and Wests, this is relevant. From 2.12 watch Jack's cover tackle on McIndoe who as known as the Emerald Express. Tedesco would not make that tackle and I doubt if the great Billy Slater would make it either.
