Alan Jones on Easts 1975 GF Score

[Jimmy]

Alan has just reminded his listeners that on today's try value the 1975 victory over St. George would have been 46-0.

LOL! I knew it wouldn't take long for some f**kwit to try and bring that up.

1975: Easts 8t 7g
2008: Manly 8t 4g

Doesn't mean sweet FA. The final margin is what counts, and that monkey is off our backs forever, like it or not.

Imagine how the 91 points we tipped on Canterbury in the '30s would look now, then.

Alan Jones can piss off and die a slow death as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Loudstrat]

Nope - Jonesey's correct. Gotta acknowledge that!

Would of been 108 or something points.

was it also unlimited tackles then with no replacements? different era -different game

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

I wonder if he thought this up in the George Michael memorial London bog?

The St George that was beaten in 1975 no longer exists.

so what he said is false? :roll:

Yes because you cant say what the score would have been under the current points system , because its different

Does anyone have the states of the goals , were they conversations or penalty or field goals they were all 2 points,

Thats like saying don bradman average would be 48.99 under the current cricket system it would be stupid to suggest that,
why allan jones comment was stupid saying a score 30 years ago would = to 46 -0 in current times.

So you have to go by the losing margin and manly holds the highest winning gf margin

 

[OVP]

Well no, we will still remind you .........

There is absolutely nothing surer than that ;-)

Easts scored 8 tries as did Manly and converted 7 of them. Manly will have the official record of 40-0 but unofficially the 1975 win had more merit.

no that law changed about a decade earlier to stop tyhe dragons ...

all this talk about what ifs ... even as an easts supporter what good is talking hypothetical's? ... the score was 38-0 and it happened 33 years ago ... just let it stay in the record books

Bradmans fours were worth 4 points. His sixes (there were not many of them) were worth 6. You got one run for each sprint between wickets. Scoring hasn't changed.

League's has.

the current cricket points has change you get the no ball plus the runs you score off it

so a 6 could be worth 7 and a 4 could be with 5 under the current cricket points system , we are talking about the team score , shouldnt have mention bradman bad example because he was a player not a team




You can never compare any result what happen in the past to the current result , because points , rules and playing conditions etc

the only way you can compare is the margin , so Allan jones is wrong in saying what he did

So Saints fans feel better about the 38 nil score now?
