A lot of memories here. The games changed in 40 years. Not so free flowing as it is today. No so big on 5th tackle kicks Wingers built like tanks that can dive and place a ball with pin point accuracy.. Imagine if they had the punch ups like they did then, half the players would of been in the sin bin or sent off. I am glad .that kind of violence is not tolerated or common now in these big clashes. The beginning of the reign of King Wally Love or hate him he was a brilliant player for his time along with a few others in that squad.

That’s what you call rugby league. Real men!!! Even the referee was tough…

Certainly a step down in quality from the 82 & 86 teams. Although the To&Froms were better as well with Schofield & Hanley beginning their careers.

They’re tough buggers but seriously the standard is like U16’s today. And all those players throwing punches with impunity .. only thing worse was Jack Gibson’s commentary

Australia was referring to Britain as "Great Britain" in 1984? That's strange.

@@jacktattisWell, in 1984 Britain was hardly a superpower, and had long since lost it's empire. That term isn't used today. So when do you think "Great" should've been discarded? I'm just surprised is all that it was still in use so late.. maybe only in rugby terminology? And I'm not woke and love my pommy mates - rule Britannia.

Mate, do you realize how culturally and historically important your channel is? As Australia devolves into a "woke" society of sooks, people like me can come here and relive the "god old days". Memories of an age when hard men played hard games and women were actual real, biological, women. It wasn't perfect, but it was definitely sane, natural and made sense. So, thanks heaps, brutha. 😃

Rugby Union & League was a game that tested the fabric of a man’s masculinity. I’m not a fan of cheap shots but how that player overcomes cheating is the element that brings fans to the game.

The WEAKEST SIDE AUSTRALIA had ever Fielded to this date.To many political representatives from Queensland.The high Penalty count was because the Queensland players not fit enough to get back on side at the play the ball.
