Balmain v Raiders ‘89 grand final

[supercoach]

The worst thing was, after full time I dragged myself out of the ground feeling very depressed. I got all the way out only to realise I left my helmet under my seat, so I had to battle my way back into the ground…..felt a real fool

88 was worse.

In 89 Warren Ryan blew it and Harrigan was well typical Bill Harrigan but at least in 89 we lost to champion team.

That Canberra team will go down in history. 88 was the one that should have Balmain's name on it.

spot on bro, as an ex-maggie fan I intend chasing it up tomorrow. I think I remember Benny missing by a sliver of paint.

When Ryan replaced Blocker & Sirro we gave it to the Raiders our dominance left the field. And both still spew about it.
