On tonight, 1978 Cronulla V Manly Grand Final

[Master Sharky]

Fox sports 2 tonight at 9:30 is showing a replay of this Grand Final.
Not the result we wanted but still interesting to watch.

Thanks for the heads up mate!

 

[Master Sharky]

Thanks for the heads up mate!

No problem, certainly worth watching if you haven't seen it before.

 

[Sharky Pete]

Thanks for opening up old wounds, mate.

It was 6 years before I was born but it seriously is painful viewing.

The actual game was good(should've won it easily) but the replay was plain painful.

 

[Gards]

Wow I gotta try see this tonight. So who wins...? lol

 

[slide rule]

Wow I gotta try see this tonight. So who wins...? lol

When you watch in for the 574th time, we win.

 

[dylan the villian]

I honestly don't think I could watch it before the weekend lol, too much disappointment!

 

[Born&bred]

When you watch in for the 574th time, we win.

We win if Hartley wasn't there.

 

[Beejay]

Which of the games would they be showing? (like which of the grand finals?)

 

[DANGA HATCH]

Was at the game on the hill with my dad. Hard to see but it was the most exciting time for a 9 year old. Stood amounts guys standing on the old metal beer cans p#%sing on the spot. Shattering to be without our stars for the replay. It was a joke that the game was played mid week.

Those were the days, heaps of local talent. Hopefully this new breed will be retained and these days can be relived.

We win if Hartley wasn't there.

Agreed B&B. You took the words right out of my mouth.

I was there on the hill behind the southern goalposts for the sunday game. Then took tues arvo off to see Eadie tear us a new one in the replay. Still dejected

I was on the Hill for the replay as well....but i wasn't involved in the throwing of oranges at Hartley after Eadies try in the corner....:lmao

 

[Art Vandelay]

what game was it that was on?

i couldnt bring myself to watch.

i wasnt even born. but i decided it wouldn't have been fun viewing. im tortured enough as it is.

 

[fitz]

I was there... and at the replay with my mum.

Fond memories of the whole Shire being painted and decorated Black, White & Blue.

Should be compulsory viewing for every kid growing up in the Shire.

The Sharks and the Shire will rise again!

 

[DeathMoth]

I've seen it before but that was a good watch. The games were must faster and free flowing. I wish elements of the old game could still exist.

 

[SHARKSTER]

We lost? Glad I didn't watch it

 

[deano the p]

So did they show the replay or the original game? I IQ'D it.
