I'm enjoying reading about the stories too Doyen and Shadow.

I'm not as ancient as you guys:lol::lol:

 

[doyen]

was the forward pack of 1989 as dominating as the 2014 forward pack???

They were a young pack;up & comers who ended up playing for Australia or SOO!!

They were very hard.

Tony RAMPLING[SOO] Ian ROBERTS[SOO,Aust]--Mario FENECH[SOO]--Les DAVIDSON[SOO,Aust]--David BOYLE[SOO]--Lindsay JOHNSTON[SOO].

Fenech was a fantastic leader,very inspiring,bled red & green!!! A diehard Sths junior!!

Even though players like GI & Sam love playing with Sths & are very good leaders they will walk away if it suits them!!

Sths halves were their aces---our halves in recent years don't compare to Coleman & Blake!!

yeah i do remember blake a bit. i remember he was very quick and used to put in those little kicks behind the line, and chase and regather the ball. he did some cool tricks. i was fairly young back then. i started watching league at the start of the 1987 season - i only turned 7 that year. i remember tugger coleman. he played a year for western suburbs magpies too (1996 i think)

Blake was magic--a prolific tryscorer,always in fine style.

Mario would have played for Aust. but broke his thumb on the eve of selection for a tour to NZ--he was the incumbent SOO hooker at the time. "Backdoor" Benny ELIAS sneaked in to replace him & that was the end of Mario's i/national aspirations!

Reynolds to me is just a programmed robot----he has a very good kicking game but anything outside that is very ordinary to me. He doesn't have many tricks in his bag;if any!

Maybe Madge's structure has stifled his creative spirit!!?????

well i agree that reynolds needs to run the ball more often. i think he lost a bit of confidence last year after mad dog graham injured him. i think he'll go well this year, behind a good forward pack. his kicking game is needed, but the five eighth does need to be more creative than he is, so keary has to do a good job, otherwise cody walker may take his spot..

That's right.

Both of our incumbent halves are at the crossroads at STHS.

This is a crucial year for Keary & Reynolds & their careers at Sths!!

What a great side--they were minor premiers but just couldn't go on with it.

They should have won the big prize that year!

 

[foreverinourshadow]

i remember when george piggins use to spin the wheel at souths around lunch time daily and george would always put his hand in his pocket to add to those prizes on the lucky wheel for the lucky ticket holders remember that doyen?or he would throw money on the bar for free drinks george was and still is a legend and a great man.

 

[foreverinourshadow]

true doyen

 

[foreverinourshadow]

89 a year to forget sadly

 

[foreverinourshadow]

it was all great fun back then though they were a tough side and tried their hearts out mario was relentless lol

Honestly I reckon Maguire made Reynolds the player that he is today.

Don't get me wrong, I agree i'd like to see some magic from him in certain situations.

But looking at the way he played in the 20's, I don't think he would've had much of a first grade career had he debuted with John Lang.

He was a solid halfback, but didn't really have the kicking game that he does today, which of course is his staple.

If he develops a running game no doubt I think he'll have a few tricks in the bag. Needs to fix his running style it's like he does a fast waddle!

There is pressure on our halves this season R95.
