Didn’t we also win the penalty count in that game 10-0?
Yep, it was something like that, it was either 8 or 9 to nil penalty count, we were the perfect team that night . How things have changed in the eyes of the refs since then
I still remember that feeling when the ref blew the penalty at the end of the game..Amazing!
And it made one footy tab ticket holder very happy as he won just over 2 million that night, footy tab pick the margins had jack potted over a few weeks and was set for another jack pot until the infamous Andrew Gee restart gave Easts the penalty to win the game and one luck punter collected the prize.
Where does the time go ? i still remember virtually running down the hill to Central after the game from all of the excitement.
Just watched an Roosters vs Norths match at Henson Park the other day and it was exactly like i remembered being at the ground then and that was 37 years ago. I posted the you tube link in the classic chooks games thread.
Both tries were fantastic, the start of Jorgos try starts here at 1.48 sces, absolute amazing play.
I don't think its in this highlights package but from memory i can recall when the Broncos were leading 10-4 or 10-6, Alfie Langer was cut down just short of the line in a great tackle which would have put the game out of reach just before that fantastic finish from Walker and Junee and then Andrew Gee
So good thanks for posting. I was at that game it was a cracker. The two rugby boys scoring classics. They both went to school at Joeys in Hunters Hill as well.
I actually had a brief association with Darren Junee’s sister sometime back around ‘78 when we were both still at school. I remember her being so thrilled when she found out I was an Easts supporter.

Good player. Not a big guy at all, reminds me a lot more of Dylan Edwards if I had to do a NRL comparison. Always in right place, quick and deceptively tough to tackle. I however would prefer we develop our next fullback ourselves; someone like Rob Toia provided he makes a full recovery from his acl, could be a candidate. Suaalii or Manu may return. Nawaqanitawase has played fullback in union and could also be a strong fullback if he makes the switch successfully.

Marky Mark is filling in for Jorgo at fullback tonight for the Tahs. I might even watch it.
