G'day fellow Bunnies! I've just joined this forum and for my first post will indulge in my favourite pastime of Souths trivia:

(1) In scenes probably never to be repeated, which former Souths international was chaired from the field by the OPPOSITION supporters after a Kangaroos match?
(2) What prompted these actions?
(3) Which year did this happen?
(4) Against which English club side were Australia playing?

Thanks Dave- I feel warm and fuzzy already.........
Now back to the trivia- I'll give you a little hint:
It was during the 1921-22 Kangaroo tour.

Cheers, Dave

 

[Dave Q]

Horder?

 

[dangardave]

Horder?

No, but you are getting warm..........

 

[dangardave]

In scenes never to be repeated, legendary winger Cec Blinkhorn was chaired from the field by the English supporters after scoring an incredible 9 tries for Australia during their 92-7 demolition of club side Bramley on the 1921-22 Kangaroo tour.

Which Souths player won a boxing style trophy belt for being Australia's best player of 1914, which is on display at the Powerhouse Museum?

It wasnt Harold Horder was it?

 

[dangardave]

No he was a fullback whose nicknames icluded "Silver Belt" and "The Rock of Gibraltor" He played with Horder in 1915-16 at the end of his career.

 

[dangardave]

3 weeks and nobody has a stab at this one.............time for a history lesson fellow bunnies:

Howard Hallet was Souths' first champion fullback, 40 years before the Little Master."Silver Belt" played First Grade from 1909 until 1924 and became the Test fullback on the 1911-12 Kangaroo tour. Very safe under the high ball, the "Rock of Gibraltar" was also known as the"Human Bag" because Souths supporters would yell "In the bag!" when the opposition kicked to him.
The ARL presented him with a boxing-style silver trophy belt for being Australia's best all-round rugby league player of 1914.This is on display at the Powerhouse Museum, along with 5 of his Test caps. Here's a photo of the trophy belt: http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/collection/database/?irn=110284&search=belt&images=&c=&s=
