The way it was played out compared to now, didn't winter rugby only work out a few months difference anyway? i.e. playing in november/december instead of june/july....or something like that.

Agreed that would be a game I would like to see Rogues.
Pleanty of cannonball tackles and high shots with flair and skill in abundance.

You forgot to mention the joy of watching them do the wrestling stuff that continues to make the game so much more watchable than it used to be

There's also nothing worse than trying to tempt people out of their homes into freezing rain and sleet to watch a knockonathon in sub-zero temperatures.

Booo!! Misery.

You're right, today's scientifically conditioned full time professionals couldn't possibly handle the epoxy grip dimpled wonder ball they use these days playing in the cold, sometimes twice a week, like their part time ancestors used to with a lump of polished wet soap. And fans are soft as $h!te as well.

Canterbury all the way for me, Graham's been a phenomenon.

I think south sydney will do it though

Well deserved from souths, scoreline reflected the game. Thought Inglis or G.Burgess should have won clive churchill. Tremendous scenes at the end.

James Graham one of the games best props over the last decade......8 GF - 1 win

Ian Kirke......5 GF - 5 wins

Graham is a thousand times the player kirke has been. Neither GF record is down to the respective player.

Cheers for the insight, for a few minutes there I genuinely thought it was based solely on those two.
