Wasnt there a match at Leichhardt about 15 years ago when a massive hailstorm hit around half time and they considered calling it off? IS that what you are talking about?
The other game that was called off was Newcastle v Souths at Newcastle and they had to play it at a later date.
Yeah 1994, terrible conditions. Players came on to the field after half time and the massive storm hit. Yeah see footage of Stu Gailbraith trying to take cover and an umbrella was blown across the ground.
Pretty similar to a trial game in 2002, Parramatta vs the Northern Eagles, lightning hit the ground at Gosford and the lights went out. Game was stopped for 45 minutes.
That Manly/Balmain game wasnt the same game where Blocker was sent off. Im pretty sure that game was at Leichhardt earlier in the year, (if I find it Youtube again, Ill post the link).
And the electrical system went out ,second half was delayed for over 30 mins IIRC waiting for lights to come back on.Amazing how Ive forgotten that game only 2 years ago too.
Yeah that was shocking. Massive storm at halftime.
