1989 Grand Final

[GNR4LIFE]

Went to the 89 GF, never watched the game again. Still haunts me to this day. 88 I was happy to make it to the GF. I’m a bit bitter all three officials missed the hit on Hanley. If Lamb got sent off it’s a much different game. Also no Blocker was a factor.

I only saw the hit for the first time yesterday. Heard about it for years, but never seen it. Different world back then. Not only would Lamb be sent today, they didn’t even stop play. Hanley is sprawled out on the ground, and it’s play on. The play even came back through him on the ground which the ref ignored. Then he’s carried off in la la land, and still the ref doesn’t have a care in the world. Imagine that today.
