Loved going to Balmain away games there mate!
My favourite was this one in Round 16, 1988 - and a rare Saturday ABC TV live game.
It was also cold, grey and very windy so bugger all crowd was there aside from the diehards

This was also the famous game that the great Garry Jack got smacked in the mouth in the in-goal and lost three teeth - before minutes later taking a 50 metre plus goal-line drop out from Norths and leaving them grasping as he burnt the defence on the left flank all the way for one of the best solo tries of all time!!
He went back to his in-goal and I had no idea what he was doing crouching over then - but he was looking for his missing teeth in case the dentist could re-implant them.
Jimmy is still tough as nails and was the fiercest competitor!
Having said that - Mark Graham who was the captain of the Bears and one of NZ's finest does not get enough recognition!
