A trivia query i don't know the answer to/that was asked on dave's mightybears site:

Who scored the first RL try on colour tv?

[yes kiddies, tv was once in black and white]

A tricky one.

Australian stations moved to colour on the 1st March 1975.
If the ABC had the Saturday game in those days, they would have shown Souths v Norths (22nd March).
First try scorer for Souths was Bernie lowther, First try scorer for Norths was Paul Hope.
Can't find any other details than that.
I'm guessing that because the question was posed on the mightybears site, it was Paul Hope.

The first try scored on Colour TV would have been in England on the BBC.
