They lost in reserve grade, to Canterbury I think, so it fired Parramatta up even more. Wouldve been devastating if they lost all 3 grades.
Just on the early 60s, Parra were in the finals 3 years in a row, there was one match when they played St George and got beat in the preliminary final 12-7. Could you imagine if Parramatta beat the Dragons, wouldve ended their winning streak, and played Wests in the Grand Final, with the likes of Rushworth, Dick and Ken Thornett, Hambly, Ron Lynch. I think Ken Kearney was the coach.

I know the St George in 62 side won all 3 grades and came close in 1985, but has a club lost all 3 grades?
