It was an awesome show. I'll definitely be buying that one on DVD.

It was an awesome show. I'll definitely be buying that one on DVD.

It was great to see the players being interviewed. Brings back memories- magnificent to see Donnelly on the loose again- he was one hell of a character. Interesting to see them in their heyday and then being interviewed as old men in their 50- 60's.

Definitely on my "to buy" list.

What a fantastic doco, i enjoyed every second of it ! Brought back some memories of spending my weekends at Lidcombe Oval hahaha

How bout big Gibbsy, if only Bryce was as tough as his old man hahaha

Only one person could have made it better, Dallas himself.

It woulda been great hearing his views all these years later.

Lidcombe was a great oval in its day. Times have moved on and its well and truely had it but it was great- went there a few times (and to Pratten Park too when they played an occassional game there) to see the Maggies- love every memory.

WT's are my team now but I'll never forget the black and whites. I love the retro games they have every now and then and come out in the old jerseys (both Balmain and Wests). Oh well, time moves on- have to move with it too.

Theyre not related.

Great program....couldnt get over the passion/emotion O'Grady displayed when talking 30 years on.

Hi inns,

Isn't it funny how one show can reignite the festering hate for a grub like Hartley.

Some of us still carry those memories. My hatred for Manly and Hartley have never subsided.

"They" can make all the excuses they like but there were some very interesting facts mentioned in the doc. i.e. six mistaken counts in the Parra game. 3 x7 tackles for Manly and 3 x 5 tackles for Parra.

I could whinge and carryon in here but we have had a real big bitch in the Sharks room too.

Hartley........ farkkkkkkk him.

Cheers

God I hate that arrogant dwarf, made me sick to my stomach what he did in '78. To this day I can't listen to his radio show with that fat turd Peters.

Never listened, never will.

Loved that docco last night, brought all the memories back as a kid on the hill with mum and dad, and i got to play on that field later on in life and be in the old home dressing sheds as well, you could see the passion in the interviews of the old boys are still quite raw it was rivetting stuff.

'ullo quigley....

My old man didnt know who he hated more, Arko, Hartley, Big Mal or John Laws.
Lived with mum and she hated fraser, had to put up with her moaning about the ''arrogant upstart' all week, then would stay at the old mans on the w/end and it was always, that ''frking crnt hartley and his old c**k sock Arko''...

Was great to get into it though, we were the baddies, wore black, were ugly, mean, ruthless, outside the law...I found it easy to relate to. :lol:

Quigs my man, I was 8 years old at the time the hatred I had for Hartley was scary, you'd never think an 8 year old carried so much angst against an indidividual he didn't know personally.lol

I was 12 and a mad Wests supporter,but what Hartley did to Parra was criminal,he was payed for that for sure.
Manly lost 1 game on their run through the play offs,the only game Hartley wasn't reffing.
He ripped us off 2 tries in the final,so I hated him too,can't believe he kept on getting the games after all his so called errors.:x

 

[gregstar]

my memory of the fibro/sivertail era is that it was severely overdone.

it was roy masters at his best.

it served as a fantastic distraction & enabled wests to put not just manly, but almost every other side off their game.

my memory was that wests would go the biff for ten minutes, then play seriously good football whilst the opposition was distracted looking for square-ups.

does anyone else recall it this way?

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Yep, me too.

I thought he hit the nail on the head in the doco when he said that it didn't translate to the SCG very well. The boys got overawed and couldn't handle it.
