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.
That's great footage; I recall the "official" match footage doesn't have the shot so clear (the camera switches) and I don't recall ever seeing the cheap shot so obviously. I don't recall replays at or after the actual match - Tigers made a line break and during those camera changes you can see Ellery lying flat out in the background.Has Lamb ever said anything about this?
Pretty shitty go

Everyone is against us, even the PM.

I knew the ref and his wife fairly well back then, she use to go to a few of his games. They were decent people, and I knew Mick to be a ref that tried to do his impartial best.
School hols work experience kid researched this
Still so much pain.
Probably because Mick Stone is a moron. He had form in robbing Balmain in big matches against Canterbury.
He didn’t drink schooners. Vodka and orange was his drink of choice. The 15 is about right though. Hard to judge harshly the high shot. It’s the way the game was back then. Play on.
