I enjoy the NFL almost as much as the NRL.

You can't quote me on the venue but this made the papers apparently.
A fencing mate of mine who played for St George around the same time as Neil, told me that whilst Neil was on the drink one night he took a schooner glass of beer into the toilet and put it on a low ledge so he could wee.
Someone saw it and did the deed in the glass whilst he wasn't looking. When Neil went back outside he had a drink and realised what had happened. You could imagine the outburst.
When my buddy was out on the drink another time he saw Neil in the toilet and my mate said, "hey Neil, do you want me to fill your glass up" Neil threatened to punch him.
True story but the exact details have been dampened in case your eating 🤣

Notice Locky is balding so he makes up for it by growing side levers 🤣
I can remember locky's flick passes and long cutout passes too.

That wasn’t the 76 team. I think Outten had been long gone by then?
They were great comps but wow those players were flogged back then. I remember blokes playing 4 games in a week. The early rounds were the best. Norths v Port Moresby Vipers or Combined Brisbane v Cronulla, Manly v Qld Country!

Yeah you're right. I did a little research and this was the 1975 team - Outtens last year.

Larry's highlights. First try is mid week at Leichhardt. I enjoy watching John Sparks race to get into position to throw the final pass to Larry. Sparkes was an Aust Schools 5/8 from Wollongong, a great talent.

Watched it at home with Dad and Mum a few other relos - when Easts scored i let out a string of expletives. I don't think anyone had heard me swear before as the room went silent. My Dad wasn't impressed.

The pass Beetson threw to Faifax when he scored had to be about 2 metres forward. Even the refs today would have picked it up.

I was at both games. I was turning 21 later that year and the only good thing about the Pratten Park game was I had taken a trifecta that day which got up. All my mates were wondering why I was cheering while the Magpies conceded another try. I still remember the winner was called Bilgola Boy. With the winnings I was able to take myself off to Tahiti for 2 weeks for my 21st. I also lived within walking distance to the ground, but the Croydon Park side.
