Rugby league history

Sorry. Redirect. Who were you supporting then? Obviously not Wests Tigers. And look at you today with us.

Until superleague, I followed Penrith, as I grew up in the lower mountains, and knew Tim Sheens.

Jumping the gun a bit, but after Spoonball Friday, the sponsor is no more, aka history!!

This is a rare "oldie"


Besides the interest in the Australia?France test match, note the school boys game under the Metropolitan Catholic Colleges comp - big back in the day.

And St Pat's Strathfield was playing rugby league back then, before turning into a rugby union school a couple of years later.
Many Wests Magpies boys came through there, and later were to move to Wests Rugby Union.
These days, the school strengths have gone onto rugby and soccer.

Loved Lidden. Very under-rated. Had a great connection with Britt.

I always thought Steve Morris should have got more games than that,he was a great halfback.He certainly passed on his ability to his sons
