I think there were 4 awards over 4 months.......unless I missed one.

1st player of the month....Alan Neil.

2nd player of the month ......Terry Lamb

3rd player of the month......Ron Giteau

4th player of the month....John Ribot de Bresac.

Won a Victa edger for dad answering a few footy questions lol one night.
Famous and infamous names. Lamb was 18, turned up with his GF who became his wife both in Ugg boots. Neil was fidgety, Ribot looked worldly even then but really committed to us.

Still got the Wests stickers with their autographs somewhere.

Your memory is fabulous!
Good times.

Killer Kowalski, Mario Milano, Larry O'Dea, Abdullah the Butcher, Ox Baker, Killer Karl Cox, Ron Miller, Haystacks Calhoun...all great memories of a Sunday lunchtime watching World Championship wrestling.
I always wanted to look like Bulldog Brower when I grew up.
I ended up looking more like Brute Bernard......

Rugby league’s most iconic photo, taken exactly 60 years ago today.

“The 1963 premiership decider between Saints and Wests generated tens of thousands of words - but is remembered best for a single photo,”

Date: 24 August 1980; the late Bob Hawke (1929-2019) pictured kicking-off at the Round 21 rugby league game between St George and Balmain at Jubilee Oval.
St George Dragons went on to defeat Balmain Tigers 11 points to 7 and finish 4th on the ladder.
Bob Hawke was 50 years old at the time.
