    Try replays with music in the background.......

    I tried Shazam, no luck with the pieces mentioned in Balmain-Roosters 1985 game. However, success with the old mid-70s ABC footy opening theme: this is Sports Fanfares by Gerhard Narholz. It helped this song was re-released on an album in 2020

    Try replays with music in the background.......

    Any luck with any of these? All iconic pieces from the time (except the 32 minutes one, as you say)

    Network Music Ensemble is the full correct artist name for Craig Palmer. So The Chase (arguably the most famous try scoring music) is now found by Googling Network Music Ensemble, not Craig Palmer.

    Is 1999 the biggest grand final choke?

    Really? Game was before my time, but I can’t say I’ve ever heard/read this. Or do you mean strictly from the in game angle, that the Jets had a decent lead into the 2nd half?

    I know someone who used to work at Fox, told me once they have 97 SL games in the archive and no *explicit* agenda not to show them, just not many great games from that season. Not sure if any of you watched the Fan this week, on the archive segment there, it was somewhat longer than usual with...

    Your "League Lockdown" Re-watch

    I remember a wankfest at this game - for Thurston and Matty Bowen. The start of close enough to a decade-long wankfest for these two guys. The only one I recall being as close to this was Lachlan Coote getting man of the match on debut in 2008 for going 0/4 on shots at goal, funnily enough he...

    24 Hour NRL channel

    Absolutely baffling that Fox can't see the solution staring them in the face. Overheads too high, people just want to watch old games without the blather of (mostly) idiots - voila! The next person to take out a Fox or Kayo subscription to see three heads sitting around a table reciting what's...

    24 Hour NRL channel

    The whole "don't mention the war" thing for Fox League not showing any Super League 1997 games is pretty dumb really. They have shown and do show games from 1995 and 1996, when tensions between the side were often significantly heightened and this is reflected in commentary, crowds etc. One such...

    Agreed on the general support for the old games, it does soften the blow of the off-season. But again, Fox League Channel (we know you read this), why do you never show any games from the Super League season (1997)????

    NRLTV - Watch full match replay’s of every Grand Final from 1966 to 2018!

    I ask this every year when Fox League show classic games over summer and there are ZERO 1997 Super League games shown: why not? I've been told the 97 SL games are in Fox's archives, why aren't any ever shown? NRL.com, why is 97 SL grand final not available?
