Thanks for posting that TrevLovesJanice. Just watched the full video and thoroughly enjoyed it. Good old days lol. Felt for the Huddersfield forward Johnston.

this is a bit like the famous leeds v chelsea game in football 1970, when if reffed under latest rules there would have been about 10 red cards. you can pick out similar bits from this game with all the high shots and fighting

how shambolic were the ptb's in this era?

Thanks T-l-J really enjoyed that !

It was for the start of 83/84 season. At the same time the scrum rules changed to give both head and feed to non-offending team so"real" hookers became largely redundant and started to play acting half.

Thanks mate two massive changes in the game that paved the way for the 'modern' game we know today. Great thread cheers.

Enjoyed watching that . Took me back to an era when I first started to watch RL .
