Anyone remember old games at Ringrose before Metro Cup etc when it was just A Grade, and teams like Ryde Eastwood, Mounties & Guildford used to belt each other all day??

Metro Cup was where it was at for me.... I used to go down regularly and watch Metro 1st and reserve grades as I had a couple of mates who played for them, back when Ian McCann was coaching....

Used to love it - we'd sit on the hill in the winter afternoon sun, drink a few cans of icy cold New or VB or whatever they were selling and then head over the club after the game for more drinks long in to the night...

I remember Lance Clarke and Gary 'Kooka' Pethybridge coaching Wenty and those teams had a heap of ex grade players in them..
Good times.
Not to detract from the Metro Cup days..

Wenty leading 6-4

Wenty basically fielding Wenty contracted players whilst Newcastle have a mixture of NRL and state cup players..,

The part timers seem to be holding their own at the moment

It was a try of a high kick and there were plenty of bodies there so I don't even think forty knew who put the ball down but it could of been Danny Howard

Quarter time 6-4 Wenty

Wenty just beat Newcastle 16-14...

I'm pretty sure Gagai, Nathan Ross and raw Mattautai brothers all played at some stage amongst others...awesome effort
