[Tom Verlaine's Ghost]

Was this the game where Joe Lydon scored his famous try from halfway?

[bigben]

That Joe Lydon try is one i will never ever forget..

[Guest]

Joe actually played his first game for us in the next round, when we smashed the Raiders at Seiffert..

[Guest]

I am fairly sure Joe Lydons famous try against the Sharks was at Shark Park on a Saturday afternoon,he made a habit of long range efforts in his day..

I remember in the same year we played the Saints at the SCG on a Monday night and he set up an amazing length of the field try for Gary Wurth..
We went on to lose the game though 14-7..

[Guest]

Lydon scored that terrific try against Cronulla that year, but wasn't it the game at Endeavour that he scored it?

[Vasco]

Great memories.

Amazing how pretty much the same team went awful the following year.

[Guest]

Yeh after we signed Garry Bridge...
Funnily we were red hot favourites to win the comp in 1988,what a decline in such a short time..

I worked with Danny Shepherd 10yrs ago. He looked fit enough to still run out for us.

I think of those dark times as the Vautin years.

I think of those dark times as the Vautin years.

that was just two seasons though. It could be the Fairfax & Murray era

A friend of mine, who remembers the dark times, said something last week in the midst of alcohol.

"The wrong ****ing Murray who coached the Roosters died."

He'll hate Muppet Murray till the day he dies.

The ref letting play go on when there was an injured player 2 metres away ... genius!

Great games both against Cronulla,Wayne Challis was sent off in the Henson game and we still won.Two things really stick out in my mind about that game, there was a blatant forward pass thrown in the lead up to one of the Cronulla tries, even Rex Mossop calls out forward pass in the commentary, it was either to Et or from ET, I haven't watched the game for a while, then late in the match Gavin Miller got pulled up for a forward pass and the pass didn't look forward at all, think we got the scrum penalty from there and were in great field position to score the match winning try to Steve Morris.
