After our seemingly good run so far - we now have fuggen Souths breathing down our necks
Only for a Raiders last minute try the pricks would have been 3rd and we'd have been 4th!
If all their Ogres stay fit, this mob will be there in the finals:shock:

For the youngsters on here who may not know that this is what happened to us in 1978, what he has left out is that we were without 2 players in the first game & 6 players for the replay.
In context, it would be like us taking the filed this year in the first game without Gal & Jezza(Pierce & Kneen) then after drawing the game losing Gibbs, Best, Graham & Degois as well.

Dane Sorenson missed the Grand Finals Reefy.
Kneen collected Geoff Foster I think in the last premiership game (one of the Wests forwards)and Sorenson got sent and missed the finals.(mistaken identity or Kneen was just lucky he didnt go as well).
Pierce got sent in the semi against Wests and we still won.
John Gray was the only Manly guy missing I think.
In the replay you can add Mullane,Mcmartin and Andrews to Pierce and Sorenson.Thought there were 7 changes from the Saturday to the Tuesday but cant remember them all.

One other thing from 1978 was we had signed Kurt Sorenson.
We had to sit him on the sideline for the year because of some international transfer rule.
He wouldve been handy that year.

Re: so who we gunna play in the GF and how munch are we gunna win by.

"I'm just waiting down here at North Cronulla" said this tired old man.

Shuffling his feet through the pristine sand he turned and stared eastward. It was a routine he had perfected. Afterall, he had now done this for four decades plus.

With squinting eyes, he said in a low hushed tone, "I'm going to ask Harold when he swims ashore"

With his eyes still fixed to the distant horizon and as though speaking to himself he muttered, "Back in 78 I thought I spotted Harold swimming this way".

The minutes then passed, staring, humming, staring, shaking.

Clenching his fist and looking towards the Heavens he screamed "Farkkkk you Hartley........Farkkkkk You and Farkkkkkkkkkkk Arthurson too"

I think Harold was trying to get in the front gate when Rogers field goal just missed with a few minutes to go in the first game Quiggs.
He was that disgusted there was no extra time he went back for another dip after the first one and wasnt around for the replay.

Will be either Tigs, Manly, Bris or melbourne.

Rest are crap.

I'd love us to be the first team to beat the friggen Broncs in the GF.

Sorry Quigs.

Can we bury this thread please?

This wasnt a fluff thread, more a mock. No link was posted though (but)....

We did alright that year just quietly. If ASADA didnt pop off I might have been King of Pop by now. 73 made me nervous.

Might start looking at auditions after we win the comp this year.
