Bears set move

[LeagueXIII]

In the 1980's the North Sydney Bears had two variations of a brilliant set move, it was called Canada and America. Can anyone else recall any great set peices by other teams that came off regularly.

 

[Sir Clifford GC]

yes
the other one was where at training the coach said assume the posistion
and they all huddled in the in goal area :mrgreen:

Who will ever forget the Eels flying Wedge?

or the 'give lip to bartrim' move - "worked 60% of the time, every time" ;-)

Mousetrap was a traversty on league, well perfected by brownie and the saints but costs the raiders glory in 96, we would have smashed manly in the GF :lol:

one that the team I played for in like under 14's had was called Halligan what you would do is take a penalty kick from touch and delibrately miss the goal and the winger would score in the other corner so the goalkick basically worked like a cross field bomb.

Not sure if that was ever tried in 1st Grade tho.

Didn't Parramatta do this during the Jack Gibson years. Mighty mick Cronin would go for a place kick across field or they would tape and run.

 

[Bazal]

Yeah the Crow did that a few times, that's why it was banned

michael o'connor performed the same move with ricky walford for saints against the dogs in 1986

Also the Parramatta "Wall" move

the move was called "Knife in the Back". It was formed in 1999. First, you had the Bears prepared for great future in Gosford at a great stadium. next, you had a leagues club that could (and did) give over $10 million to the Bears in the next 3 years. 3rd, you had Manly club that was geuinely broke.

The "Knife in the Back" move saw the Bears put into "administration" and Manly are given Gosford stadium (and $11 million from News Limited).

There are numerous people looking back at this to see who created the move. More news on this will be out soon.

Bloody hell, that was folklore at Parramatta. Eels penalty 5m out in the corner. Expecting a tap, Crow would decide to have a shot, despite the goal offering about 2 inches of target. It took about 2 years before opposition coaches realised that while Crow was lining up on the right touchline, on the left amassed Grothe, Ella, Kenny, Hunt etc.

That is in Eels 101! Second lesson (the wegde was the first!)

I thought I remembered that move being tried in the mid 90s at Parramatta too, with that Epirama Navale guy scoring or almost scoring in the corner. Maybe I'm just imagining it though

your a grot

do u think JT was into those movies before he went to the cricket

 

[Sir Clifford GC]

how could i forget the choker
norths favourite and best move

the choke was when for most of the season they looked like the best team in the comp only to fail at the second last hurdle.

The choke worked the best in 1991, 1994, 1996 and 1997
