Channel 10 state bank big game...where they used to put up the players age, and job after they scored a try.
Players having a job = fad

Post try celebrations started off well with Mundine and Blacklock, but became a big wank very quickly.

voluntary tackles are an unfortunate fad to ahve crept back in and teams are rewarded for them as you canmt pcik them up or do anything to the player on the ground

The raiders coach using boards with numbers in 1988 in first game of season against St george to tell the players what moves to use...

Kicking footballs into the crowd before a game.

that thing with the boards telling the players which play to use was actually in 1990 if i recall correctly, and was quickly banned by john quayle and companay

last year it was Hyundai from memory, same in '04. It's stupid.

Hasn't been fully painted since I think 1999 Storm Dragons, if that.

2003 had one in-goal painted black with "PANTHERS" and the other painted red with "ROOSTERS".

Either that, or I was more pissed than I thought.

I thought there might have been once since... good memory mate.

Imagine a navy blue in goal "Telstra Premiership 2006"... and how dirty the jerseys would get :lol:

Amos Roberts at halfback.

Not surprisingly, we lost. Perhaps the worst brain freeze in John Lang's time at Penrith.

The "Try/NoTry" boards that were used in the first few seasons when we had the video ref.

Where they from Hardware House?

They only recently removed the one from Ericsson!

not quite a fad, but no longer with us none the less.

Players names on the back of their jerseys. I liked it.

Fuggen collarless jerseys seems to be a fad these days as well.
