What are your favourite Parramatta memories? One of mine is from 1986. Parramatta playing Canterbury at Belmore Oval. (Sitting on the hill).
I remember Mick Cronin made one bone-shattering tackle on the Canterbury centre (I think it was Andrew Farrar). For the rest of the game, whenever the Canterbury attack came Cronin`s side of the ruck, he just stood there and shepherded the play back inside where Price or one of the other forwards cleaned up. It seemed that the whole Canterbury backline knew they didn`t stand a chance of getting through him! I remember, at one point, Price and Cronin just grinning at each other because it was working so well. Cronin had just about the best defensive centre`s game I`ve ever seen, that day; and he only made one tackle!
