Re-live Wynnum-Manly’s historic 1982 Brisbane Rugby League grand final victory over the Souths Magpies.
It was the Gulls’ first premiership win in the top grade. They entered the BRL in 1951.

Billy Smith counting it down with 765 and it’s all over WI a Manley the 1982 Grand Final winners defeated souths by 17 points to three and there it is De moris the man on the sideline what a happy boy and my two George Simon suit

Winners if we can find them in the melee we probably can’t djj’s almost crying I think winner Manley Brian Walsh Walsh coming into his own and what a great G Rodney moris being ched from the field so my two George Simon suit winners the two two top players in this 82 Grand

Final for winter Manley Brian Walsh and for southern suburbs Ash L it was great to be Here hello everyone and welcome to Lang Park and this is the big one the Grand Final between sou and Wham Manley that’s an aerial shot you can see what it’s like from upstairs but down here on the on the ground the atmosphere is electric as the build up for this tremendous

Match and a huge crowd at Lang Park and lots of ritten green out there let’s have a look at the two teams with George Donan win Manley first and uh of course win Manley uh have got their full side out the side that got them through to

The Grand Final there’s the boys in the dressing room now the only injury Cloud was Jean miles miles did sustain a very minor injury to his ankle he’s okay he’ll definitely be on the field right from the word go looking for a big game from the big fellow if he does get

Injured his replacement will be Brad Samson they going to leave Walsh at 5’8 he’s playing too well there said Des moris so their team that’s put them through to the Grand Final at fullback Colin Scott Terry Butler three tries last week and Warren green on the wings

Brett French and Jean miles in the centers the haves also going very well Walsh and doors Shan Johnson is locked forward Satan and batis the second rowers and zman Morris and green make up the full compliment that’s the countdown for the reserve guard you can hear and

Uh rff have just just won the reserve grade by a point 11 points to 10 the southern suburbs camp but of course without Bruce AEL a big loss AEL has Captain this team in every game for the last four years and they’re going to miss him Powers at the Lock forward

Position but they’re still confident and are still a very good side and a very tough tackling side here’s the full compliment now Spencer at fullback Thompson and chalice the speed on the wings maninger and Bel what a job they’ve got Harry and Sally are the halves and two good halves Alan po

Playing lock forward I thought D might go in there but power is definitely playing lock forward tessman back in the side for his first a grade final Lumia to the second rower higs and gringy the props and Billy Johnson the lock forward okay Grand final day here is the

Kickoff now we get to turn yourself off to Ary William although I might KN anyway the way this bloody crowd’s going Christ a mighty winner that’s all they can hear [Applause] winner well this is it the 1982 Brisbane rugby league Grand Final Jean miles puts

It high in the air to Ken Spencer down there to take it for sou sou coming from the Northern end of the ground and this is it this is the testing material all the previews all the dissections of the teams all the interviews everything’s gone it’s just what happens with the two

Teams of 13 out there on the field here this afternoon never heard a reception for a team at Lang park ever as we just heard for winter Manley George unbelievable Billy I uh been here for the last 13 or 14 and uh the winter Manley chair when they come out it’s

I’ve still got a bit of few Goosebumps as a matter of fact and I don’t know damn who wins and what a reception well there’s a kick by Mel ling a deep down field he got bowled into the process this is Terry Butler the man who scored

Three drives for winham last week he brings it up to midway between the quarter and halfway down inside with a manly territory Jean miles well wrapped up coming in underneath there was Belcher from the play the ball now David Green the dummy half that’s zilman coming through he’s going to be one of

The danger men oh a tesman almost knocked s out well there was about four of them went for him come to play the ball now Rodney moris he’s going to carry a lot of the weight of WI a manly today but look at that sou defense very

Winning in the opening part of the match 10 me from the halfway mark still in Souther in win of manly territory as David Green comes up to dummy half that’s Brian batis sou getting up very quickly in the opening part of this match final tackle coming up now dmy

Half David Green swings it away Jean miles he’s going to put the boot right under nether look at that for a kick there’s Spencer back there takes it coolly nice take by Ken Spencer decides to run and he rled up to about 25 MERS out from the southern suburbs line well

Both teams have powerful centers that are kickers George yes and I spoke to Des moris before the game and Des Morris’s plan to win this game was to use miles as much as he could to keep the Play Down in southern suburbs quarter but the most interesting part of

His plan was that he was going to use zulman and batis to run at Bruce Harry he considered that Harry is probably the easiest man to break through and he’s going to use zilman and batist to run at him and maybe unload the ball if possible so we’ll see if it comes off

Well that’s Johnson who threw himself there at Gary gry on the way through Billy Johnson dummy half that’s Bruce Harry puts the boot under it driving it down there for Colin Scott to Race Across can’t get it nice kick good work and Southern suburbs putting the

Pressure on wi in the opening part of the game obviously both coaches are going to try and play the game in the opposition’s quarter and I didn’t have a chance to talk to Southern suburbs but uh was over there during the week and they’re going to try and contain win

Manley for the first 20 or 25 minutes which the other teams couldn’t do we’ll see if they can okay they won this ground which is more than some of the other teams have been able to do that’s Brad s caught at the back of the scrum but they’ve got possession and that

Really helps this is chalice chalice deciding have a little bit of a run but not for far got away from one tackle still going as a South swinger great run there by jealous The Tackle of sat what a go 18 me out now from the line a loose

Pass picked up by Bruce Harry Harry straight ahead is going to be put down he’ll get up to Flat now dummy half is Billy Johnston sa looking nice and positive in the opening part of the match here maning up the big funner try to Bullock his way through Senter loose

Pass Gary Thompson Dives on it meninga injured in the tackle down at the moment beler getting it AC cross over there this time to power power to almost on the quarter line clouds coming across over center field here at Lane Park but linger as you can see walking back into

The field of play Sally sending it across to Bruce Harry Harry got away from Miles got it around the corner this is Bel to Thompson over his head got to be Rob penalty there offside just talking about meninga meninga hasn’t injured his elbow he’s went down pretty heavily in the tackle

And he’s just holding onto his his rib cage on the right hand side there he is uh maybe just a little bit winded but probably a bit of an injury there as well but uh good news is it’s not it’s it’s it’s not his elbow yeah he did P on

The right hand side so there’s no worries there Chief s are looking positive at this stage George W are they ever anyway with them in possession s have got to keep the pressure on them but here’s one of the men that could turn the tide for win Manley that’s

Zilman has been in top class form as of late from the play the ball Johnson that’s Shawn Johnson the lock forward for WI a Manley not to be confused with Billy Johnston from Southern suburbs Rodney Morris wrapped up eventually bumped out of the first tackle of Brad s though David Green to dumy

Half four and a half minutes of the match gone so far Satan losing it it doesn’t look good I don’t like win and win they’re like this George they’ve made a couple of mistakes so far and of course that was the uh the plan of Southern suburbs was to contain them and

I spoke to Des is also about that he said look we’ve got 80 minutes to win this game he said if we haven’t got any points on for 70 I don’t care as long as we’re in front at the end of 80 so we’ll see what happens from this scrum would a

Manly get it and quickly doors bounced out to the tackle of power but quickly going to be wrapped up by Bruce Harry from the play of the ball now this is Brian Waltz he was The Wizard last week no chance of finding a gap there a little bit more willing the southern

Suburbs defense and some of the defensive wiam have found in the last couple of weeks that’s Johnson bringing it up to about 12 Meers short of the halfway mark from the play the ball David Green sending it back over there to doors this is miles miles dummies can’t get through though players flying

Every penal coming up to Wi penalty against Johnston Billy Johnston for tackling The Man Without the ball and it was a correct decision he came through and tackled Scott miles dummy to Scott and uh Johnston didn’t take the dummy he said well I’ll just just in case he does

Pass it put him down but I got the penalty against him okay kicker going to find touch over there just short of the halfway mark an enormous crowd here at Lange Park and I’ve never seen so many photographers on the sideline George I think the Catholic leader in the war cry

Must be represented here today they’re everywhere okay let’s see now this is Rodney Morris about 8 meters inside South territory settling it down now couple of lapses in the early part of the match for winam oh gee U Rod Morris just put one on grank there meanwhile a scissors movement here and

Batisa is going to be the one to end up with it goes to ground a couple of meters inside South’s territory I think it was tesman on the receiving end of it really yeah he didn’t miss him anyway no he he gave him one that’s for sure he

Must have done something to Rod Morris Cuz moris is normally pretty cool even though he cops plenty of punishment it was a bit of a knee I think in the in the play of the ball got to lose it win manly Colin Scott coming into it meninga

Dives on top to consolidate for souths not a good pass from Rod moris on that occasion meninga slightly getting back onto his feet after he dived on that one he landed on the same side as he did before I think he’s a bit more injured

Than what uh than what he’s uh than what we consider I’m in fact I’m sure he is is he’s he’s moving very slowly back holding his side and oh golly if if SE have to have to lose him that’ll be just too much to take won’t it it certainly

Will that’s a bustling run by Adrien higs getting it up to about 5 Meers from the halfway mark Brad Su turning it back inside coming through as Harry dmy half this time is Billy Johnston they’ve worked it up to just about on the halfway mark Johnston’s

Going to take a grab a kick Warren greens back there to take it for winam now well done green running across field still going across field now he straightens up buried at a nice tackle too driving it him on that occasion was Brad tessman from the play the ball

Johnson’s lost it they put some ball down the first few moments that’s the the third the third error from winam Manny the third unforced error in these first seven minutes they’ve been a bit Scrappy hav they and usually George if they start that way they don’t they

Don’t come good I don’t want to throw the mocker on them at this early stage but when things go their way they’re they’re brilliant this is a sou ball power coming from the back of the scrub he’s lost it lost it coming away with it was dors the

Halfback this is Jean miles Harry’s over there taking rather high and so to is Brad Sully into the tackle from the play the ball no points on the board as yet eight minutes gone in the match so far here at Lane Park that’s Brian batis plenty of Defense there to put him down

He’s one of the danger men of course there’s quite a few of them in this winham side that’s Gary saton penalty coming up winam yes they were inside the 5 m in the fence uh and as I said on Sports World this morning I consider that Eddie w

Is the right man for the job to control this game and put the control in inverted commas he’s got very strong control of the game and I’d say that miles is going to look for touch and maning is receiving attention you’ll see the camera come past him there meninga

Is receiving attention over there on the sideline and what a kick from Miles 10 m out yes it’s a Powerhouse kick from J miles and puts but Manley in a good spot now to put on some real pressure onto the southern suburbs defense remember they one man down with Binga receiving

Attention but coming back into the field of play we’ll see if they is zilman he’s standing well back okay WI a Manley only about five or six met out back to doors decides to go himself no chance of getting through that’s harri and Sully there maybe this time chance for winam

In the opening part of the match he comes over to zilman turns it away to Gary Sean Satan going to be locked up about 8 Meers short of the line David Green to dummy half trying to slip through no chance Sully underneath gry and the tackle also but they’re edging

Close to that line last tackle Sean from the play the ball over the doors he’s going to put up the bomb what’s it like not the best terrible going backwards isn’t it they all go up coming away with it is who Butler no one knock on knock

On double knock on as a matter of fact it was Alan po trying to take it so now with just 10 minutes of Play Gone in the first half we see Brad Sul to feed the scrum in by su it’ll be a South ball too

Round the back trying to find a hole but doors came across nicely scrams to all though that glut of possession that winham have been getting in other matches as lead UPS hasn’t eventuated as yet of course there hasn’t been much between these two hookers throughout the season that’s Adrien hgs fighting his

Way towards the quarter line very interesting to know Billy I took well I score took out some statistics for the last four years for these two teams and can you believe in four years footballer scrums are 133 each goodness gra that’s unbelievable that right so that’s you

Can’t get much CL is that you certainly can’t that’s Brad t Center pass on then to power coming through Power caught up from the play the ball now Southern suburbs to Bruce Harry who’s going to kick for touch can he find it no Warren green back there

Well done but a manly Winger runs it up but chalice is there got it back to Walch however Walch across to Colin Scott Colin Scott running backwards now as belch is out after him he got away from Bel yes now here’s the Gap coming

Up BR up over the halfway mark and the B away Terry Butler will score there’s no doubt about it and Wham get the first try of the match underneath the post oh look at the crow look at the crowd win a manly draw First Blood Terry

Butler the TR scorer and it was actually a m tackle on Colin Scott that did it but also a great pass there’s a TR score of Terry Butler and here it is you’ll see Scott come across across and Bela had hold of him Bel grabs him now and

Scott gets away from him there it goes just long enough to start a forward movement he gets the pass away but it’s the next pass that does it it’s the next pass that does it French goes away he’s only got the fullback to beat a bad

Position for the fullback you can’t do a thing about it Terry Butler’s got 30 m to run and there’s no way in the world he wasn’t going to score as soon as Scot that the ball out to uh French it was a try and here comes the kick

Over 5 nil we’ll have a look at it again from uh from the front on because then you’ll see the the way that Scott got out of Gile as a matter of fact here it is he goes across and backwards there’s the quarter line you see him running backwards quite obviously belshire gets

Hold of him lets him go he draws two in and Away goes French because bel’s gone Bel was on the ground and just the pass to Butler perfect pass and very Terry Butler a perfect finisher there he goes right round under the post professional football and uh first try 5 n and back

With the action okay and it’s back into the in goal area here for winner Manley and it’ll be a Dropout from underneath the goal mouth yes that was great work as Gary Thompson had to leave his wing and that of course left Butler with the with the saloon passage to the

Line okay well plenty of excitement the crowd came here to see it and they’ve got a try on the board for winter Manley very early in the match after only 12 minutes of Play here’s the Dropout from underneath the goal mou the big high one carrying back to the

Halfway mark But Spencer is underneath it nicely Spencer stepping his way up the center now but a nice tackle coming in from Jean miles to put him over dummy half is Billy Johnston wi with the lead of 5 to nil Sally to Lumby Lumby almost got out of the tackle over there at

David Green interesting to know Billy that the players that desm moris feared most for S Lumby and meninga and uh he didn’t elaborate on why he said I to single him out but he said they’re the three guys that can make it for him Billy Johnson Working

Across field was toying with the idea of sending it back inside but eventually tabbed over there by Johnston so that’s Brad tesman over to Mel meninga meninga got it away this time to power back inside mana’s got it inside and is eventually put to the ground some of the players fallen on

Right over the touch line there but it’s m maninger getting up to play he’s not 100% fit he is injured Su getting it back to Harry Harry now gets it the away to here he’s lost it dived on by doors wi him in possession on their own quarter maninger will have to leave

Shortly George I’m sure of it yes and I wouldn’t be surprised if Aros comes on and power goes to the centers all right well here’s Colin Scott with it now getting up thead luck well he’s had bad luck in big matches hasn’t he yes there’s a movement and Billy Aros

Is moving on the sideline and what a blow for southern suburbs here’s Mark zilman cutting up the center as if Bruce AEL not playing wasn’t enough and now meninga having to go off back to Gary Sean Satan getting across to Brian batis over the shoulder this time of coming through their Scot

Eventually Butler will reather final tackle coming up Gary Satan to dummy half Satan bumps away from Gary Thompson eventually sets s over and set a field and put to the ground into the tackle count and we’ll have a scrum coming up just a little bit of a vigorous

Tackle nothing out of order there Aros limbering up on the sideline meninga looking the Singa is not looking at the sideline he said I’m staying here as long as I can here’s another South ball Su gets it across over there to Bruce Harry now there’s a gap coming through nicely as

Bel away to meninga there’s nothing wrong with him now as he gets over the quarter line back inside this time to chalice chalice over the top to S Sul got to be pulled down 8 me out good football great football from the play the ball Bel dummy half swings it away

This time to chalice cting back inside he’s trying to dodge and weave that’s no place to do it dummy half coming up as Ash Lumby he’s injured in the tackle get up says as Lum get up get up and let it get back here and let’s get into action

Brad s turns it back inside Billy Johnston five nil one him leading but a chance for S as they put on the pressure from the play the ball back over this time to Sally s to Harry Harry decides to go himself but no chance of getting through well covered

There mark zman the front row the man to do the job back to Brad tesman tessman going to be pulled down about 10 meters out in the final tackle coming up Alan power’s up as dummy half power going to send it to S then a meninga quick hands Bel Bel going to be

Pulled down final tackle enterprising piece of play from Southern suburbs flaminga staying on they’re trying to get him off but he won’t go They’re calling to him now you see him behind the play they’re calling him across and uh they’re going to talk to him and just

I think make an assessment after they’ spoken to him he’s going to the wing talking to the southern suburb strapper there he is uh and he’s probably saying I’m all right pal leave me here whatever you do well he certainly forgot any injury worries when he when he broke through

There so now it’s Mel meninga to kick for touch and uh they go back a little bit as a matter of fact Southern subbs and we’ll take it up from there but it looks as though the message has gone back to Bob McCarthy that Big M is going to stay

There as long as he can this is higs Adrian hegs taking it up for sass about 10 me out settle it there and get on the Move Billy Johnston from dummy half to s Johnston doubling around he’s through almost and kicking and dodging and flying and everything in a no dummy half

But higs has just arrived Johnston fighting for that line trer effort coming up here back over this time to gry well hemmed up there by the winter manly defense he’ll play it Billy Johnston to dummy half Bruce Bruce Harry turns it back to Spencer not quite sure where though

We’re going to go on that occasion so um Harry’s playing very well uh just Lo ball has been lost yes as Des M said he the reason he worries about Harry is because when he turns on a Blinder as we know he turns on a Blinder and he’s

Playing very well so far into this game in by Peter dors this will be a winam ball D quickly going to be taken over there matter of fact they were flying around to get him was tesman this is Johnson 5 nil but a manly leading well they haven’t had that big

Splurge of a start this time George but they’ve got five on the the board and that’s better than the North that is beside sthn at the moment some very threatening clouds coming across too he could get a downfall before the end of the game Peter D sending it away this

Time to Gary Sean SE flicks it back behind him a bit of a risky bit but it’s going to be taken back there by Terry Butler now Gary Thompson chased him and kept with him and put him down too good defense from the play of the ball green over there to doors to

Walch going to be taken by Harry and Harry let him know about it too from the play the ball green final tackle coming up here’s Jane miles Gary Thompson going back there it’s going to bounce away from him so he eventually runs around to pick it up he has Ken

Spencer with him now put it on Thompson threw the Gap nicely cutting back inside where’s he going nice run from the play of the ball now Ash lamby will be the dummy half to Sally Harry can South do something here over the top taken by meninga meninga through

The Gap he’s up over the quarter way he’s pushing the High left right and Center ball rolling loose going to be taken by Green but a penalty sou offside correct decision Eddie Ward going very well thus far into the game but golly if they can keep maninger on

There they’re a chance because when he runs like that he’s very hard to stop just had to struggle to get back to his feet again he’s putting in a big effort and Billy Johnston says um have a shot at goal M you can get an idea of where he

Is about 10 m in from touch and about 24 M back from that line well within kicking distance for a kicker of the caliber of malinga r i wonder know what he’s done he must have uh done something to his car in his ribs or something looks looks like his

Ribs for sure G’s getting up slow what guys you see that he was bending him away from behind him everywhere oh that’s n maningo with not a great deal of support from Lang Park the kick is on the way we’ll wait for it waved away

Taken by Colin Scott in the in goal area Scott runs up to Bel and chis coming across also and they’ll put him down from the play the ball Terry batler back over there to Shawn Johnson the lock forward coming half is David green green across to who Peter dors dors eventually put

Down about 20 meters out from his own line now this is Mark zilman see that Harry’s doing some work in the fence notice that maling is out on the wing I wonder if they’re going to play play chalice no no he’s moving back in there here’s the kick by Miles again downfield

Going back is Ken Spencer he’ll take it nicely and starts to move and eventually the first man to guard him was Gary Satan who could have hurt himself in the tackle his arm he’s down on the ground at the moment Gary Thompson away from dummy half that’s Brad tessman tessman

Working his way up towards the halfway mark one thing about s when wi put that kick down field George it doesn’t take them long to recover the territory they have done it very well Johnston coming up at dumming half now five points to nil but a manly lead that’s

Higs dummy half is Billy Johnston Works The Blind Side going through still got it back to meninga hurdling players still going the big F looks for support oh sucked him in call for it got it lum’s out after him oh gee that was a

Bit of bad luck for S but bull marks to Miles he call for it and got it that’s right and jine it looked as though soub going to get in would a manle have saved the day so that’s Mark dman well Mana might be injured but he’s had a big bearing on

This match so far Rodney Morris to Scott oh yes put down a couple of meters from halfway they’re putting Morris on the ground Southern suburbs cross doors to waltz to miles to French French stepping back inside he’s found a up the center but Harry is over there to put him down by

G’s elusive that French is very very quick Off the Mark and very elusive Gary Sean back to green coming across field to Rod Morris oh take it outside of do Center pass back the other way zilman to batis batis legs knocked right from underneath him by higs final tackle Gary

Satan dummy half to Walch no yes eventually to Walch puts in a grab a kick picked up over there by Challis and quickly put To The Ground by Warren green the opposite number for winham that’ll be a good game chalice involving himself he and Thompson in whenever they

Can Bel going through there Johnston to dummy half swings it over to Sally Johnston doubles around now he finds tessman loses it straight in the hands this time of zilman and zilman going to be held up ball in all a couple of meters inside sou territory from the play the ball

Green to Miles Jean miles legs taken from underneath him again and the man to do it once again was Adrien higs green to Rod Morris Morris around the corner Butler Los it picked up by meninga the big butter down the touch line still going as meninga almost into Touch by Johnson

But he managed to find his way back in field good play Touch D comes in something happened in the tackle well I must admit it’s right in front of us and I didn’t see anything it must have been very quick David Green is the man being spoken to by referee Eddie

Ward and a penalty’s out Gary Thompson taking this kick usually it’ll be meninga but he’s got his own problems out there at the moment Johnston across to Brad Sally Sally getting through to Gary gry I’m saying about grink he runs hard at the line but doesn’t unload the ball once he

Hits it here’s Adrien higs higs will be pulled down about 25 Meers out now from the win a manly line can South’s cross for a try we’ll see coming through as power power working up to the quarterway back over there Harry will eventually come away touch touched by the

Opposition so away goes Bruce Harry up to the quarter line this will test the win defense from here and we’ll see whether they’re up to the mark Or Not Billy Johnston coming up as dummy half to Brad su su through the Gap he’s away still going Lumby Lumby

Going for the line it out TI TR yes Billy Johnson’s happy lum’s happy and so is Brad S as soon as s got the ball he’s a great little competitor Brad Su and he knew exactly what to do with it it’ll be close when the ball goes

Down I thought Lumby lost it from watch the pass look at it just cuts him out straightens up goes in field two hands to it lum’s just got to run to the corner the cover comes across that’s Scott he’s got him by the legs he puts

The ball out oh from the front on we’ll be able to see it a lot better but uh that was a good try and the one Southern suburbs need to get them back in the game 5 reia with a kick to [Applause] C mmana the man placing the ball couple

Of meters in from touch [Applause] sets himself Five Points to three can he make it five all look get a good idea from here the balls no way to the left way to the left hand side of the upright so it remains wi Manley leading souths

By 5 to3 let’s have a look at the front on replay now here it is s s gets it he’s working his mind oh look at that he comes back inside back out again Lumby watch it slow it down and well it was a rolling try and a fair

Try he didn’t put the ball out he landed in front of the ground in front of the line and his momentum took him over so a fair try good refereeing and 5-3 the score back onto the halfway mark ready for play to reopen and that’s one that

South needed it’s got them right back into the match Jean miles to Spencer fullbacks had plenty of work but he’s hand look quite well beats the first tackle that of Johnson can’t get away from David Green there and also Brian batis Billy Johnston coming up as

Dummy half he’ll swing it to S then across to Brad tessman tessman wrapped up over there in center field 13 minutes remaining in this the first half Thompson toy half Sally still going the little halfback Billy Johnston coming up as D half Johnston back over to Harry Harry

Dummies can he get through the Gap yes he can Lumby overran him unfortunately well Des Mars’s worst fears are coming through Harry’s having a Blinder picked up beautifully by malinga the boot coming underneath it now won’t find touch I don’t feel because Warren Green’s back there green

Starting to move and look at sou up there very solidly chalice ripped the ball out of his hands with once again a correct decision there’s Bruce AEL on the touch line and he of course has been assisting Bob McCarthy during the week with the preparation of this

Side and I’d say that uh they’d be on fairly happy turns with themselves they’re not leading of course but U they’re still looking pretty good they’re doing it very well I’m I’m uh very impressed with their form so far their tackling has been hard and decisive and they’ve contained this big

Fellow thus far into the game Des mors has planned to running hasn’t really had time to work because they’ve been getting up and knocking him down very quickly ma the player David Green is ding half Rod Morris Morris Tred to H struggling his way through dummy half coming up is

Green green to swing it back to Satan Satan looking to link up with batis but then eventually went himself bati cutting back infield David Green to doors miles miles across to Colin Scott on the Bassel but they’ve got him well contained Harry from one side and Sully the other

He’s done a lot of work in defense so far as Bruce Harry Johnson up to about the quarter line final tackle coming up now dummy half is green gets it the away to zilman well wrapped up though by the south defense the end of The Tackle

Counts GE I really have never heard oh zilman goes again I have never heard uh so much sustained baring in a grand final the noise usually stops after the kickoff but it’s just kept going for the first 30 minutes of this game it’s uh excitement unlimited out here unbelievable atmosphere that’s for

Sure Brad s to feed in by S taken out by S Ken Spencer Johnson across here nicely as a lock forward should be Alan power comes up as dummy half got a bit of bump to the head there did Johnson in that tackle wrestled To The Ground by Walsh dummy half Johnston Harry

No chance of getting away from Brian batis dummy half is Billy Johnston two points the difference there’s a big run by Gary grank Johnston to dummy half South steady down 10 minutes to go to halftime alen power dummies now Tred to get around the corner to tessman but couldn’t because doors was

There tessman to dummy half he’ll work The Blind Side though going to be tackled by dors getting underneath and eventually Rod Morris to finish off Billy Johnston to dummy half Johnston to grab a kick is going to find touch and brings play up to about 10 me inside with a manly

Territory how those scrums going there George scrums at this stage three all nothing in that department and penalties favoring winam 4-3 okay we’ll wait for doors to feed this scrum bit of trouble at the moment down they go in by doors this will be a s ball there’s a hand in there somewhere

The referee wants another scram reek couple of meters over in center field there’s a good shot of the scrum referee was going to give a penalty but wiam have won it actually since the game has started the wind swung right around South Started With The Wind in this first half

And now they’ve got it against him well I guess they’ve got something to look forward to in the next half that’s right green is dummy half that’s Gary Satan up to the halfway mark he’s been very very quiet in this first half Gary seeden well some of the stars of the

Last couple of weeks have been but they haven’t been given that rooma seems to have recovered somewhat too he’s not near as in much as pain as he was before I think that try might have made may have made a bit of difference difference frch well forward

There well they might be wrapping uh Jean miles up but uh Brett French is a very elusive customer and both teams are are playing real grand final stuff a good clean hard game when there’s opportunities being put down on both sides Brad Su feeds the scrum out the center referee wants it in

Again if we can get a shot both back lines are right up flat no one’s uh there it is no one’s out deep to try and score off this scrum penley coming up to wam Manley Gary gringy seems to sustained a bit of a cut to his bottom lip

There here’s the kick for Touch by Jean miles now can W Manley take up from here 7 minutes to go to halftime hey yes I was watching that I was watching that Eddie Ward the southern sou players are creeping up they didn’t go back to full 10 MERS

There’s no two ways about that they’re only up back about 6 to 7even MERS the touch judge was actually waving them back with his flag saying get back get back Eddie Ward come up and uh awarded another penalty and of course uh they can kick for goal from

Here Rod Morris had no hesitation um telling David Green to stop going for that quick tap we want the two points and the way green has been kicking as of light it’s certainly not Beyond him he hasn’t had any pressure on him yet Warren green coming up for the shot at

Garage on the way it is there straight as a gunbound straight through the setup and Willam Manley move away 7 [Applause] to3 never looked like missing from the moment that left his boot well Dez Maris is summing up of his opposition players who are going to be

His danger men pretty spot on Billy with meninga Lumby s and Harry all having great games yes they are they’re putting it together all right that’s Colin Scott little bit of a Juggle there just to keep the fans on their toes gets it up to the quarterway we haven’t had any reers yet

But it’s been threatening quite dark overhead from to play the ball Gary Satan grinkie coming in underneath over the top is Alan po green zilman this time oh no one there in support he’s done all the work Mark zillman and no one there eventually put down by

Power here’s a kick by Peter dors through the hands of chalice now what’s he going to do set sa through and pulled to the ground just short of the halfway back my go he almost got through as well Brian walz just got him down the last Stitch effort that’s melinga from dummy

Half the big fell thrown to the ground just inside with a manly territory just under five minutes remaining and wi him leading by 7 to3 o Force back in the tackle this time a little bit is higs from the play the ball power sends it back to

Gry Gary grank got the ball away this time but it looked terribly forward but let’s lay on he knew that you said he doesn’t pass George oh no I think he’s a good a good promising footballer but he has to learn to hit the line and pass the ball not

Just hit the line Johnson flying through over there to put down Brad Su final tackle coming up power from dummy half to Harry Harry sends a long one to Lumby to meninga meninga stepping back inside but well wrapped up and so we’ll have a scrum couple of meters inside with a manly

Territory so there we see the incorrect feed and so penalty to Southern subbs malinga kick is going to find touch about 30 m out now from the winter Manley line well souths three and a half minutes to the halftime break desperate to get a try and let’s see what happens not a

Great deal at that stage that’s Ken Spencer dummy half is Billy Johnston to Ash lamby Johnston doubles around lost the ball picked up by Miles jee’s been Johnny on the spot three times now Jean miles capitalizing on uh on drop ball and a bit of a push and shove

Between he and Ash Lumby Rod Morris about 8 Meers from the halfway mark dummy half David Green mark zilman and eventually put to the ground just inside sou territory from the play the ball doors to Walsh oh yes dummies does well almost through went over the top of Billy

Johnson on that occasion green to dummy half wal got a bit of a bump there he did well the referee didn’t agree final tackle coming up Rodney Morris takes it straight ahead t defense from South and that’s the end of The Tackle count so we see a scrum about 5 m inside

Southern suburbs territory you can see just 2 and a half minutes remaining wiam leading by 7 to three fre Eddie Ward going to repack this scrum crowd settled down a bit Geor it not quite as might have gone horse I wouldn’t be surprised penal winam sh moving Off the Mark again penalty [Applause]

Winam well this is a very important kick for Jean miles with a minute 40 left in the first half he has to put it right down in the corner and uh SE gos have got a minute then to try and score an extra try before halftime and Southern

Suburbs got to hang on for dear life till a halftime break they’re about 17 M out now the crowd will start to warm up a bit David Green takes the tap Gary Satan Satan finding his way for that line about to play it now dummy half is

David green green sends it back to doors doors to waltz Waltz wrapped up in the tackle of power and tessman four left about to play David Green dummy half just a minute of play remaining to the halftime break to miles miles still going ooh I thought he was going to have

A go passing at there three leftt right at the death green to Colin Scott higs throws himself at him just knocks him off balance so he’s going to be claimed eventually s’s got to hang on for two more on the play the ball David green back inside to Gary Sean Satan up the

Center put down a couple of meters out final tackle Morris is indicating a field goal or something and green didn’t know what was going on so took the tackle and they ended up with nothing okay 28 seconds remaining in this the first half one HIM lead by seven to

Three Brad Sul doing it well kicking the ball across field a little bit to chew up a bit of that time he’ll have to put it in but it looks that way and it’ll be a winning ball bullet referee wants it in again well that’s what souths want because it’s

Just about on the halftime break down goes the scrum however r def feed in by S knock knock on and it’s halime and at the halim break we see a lead now for win Manley over sou of seven points to three we got it we got it yeah if you want

It Andy sweating on my ninger he’s back [Applause] [Applause] second no changes to the teams at the halftime break as malinga sets the ball in motion down into the in goal area over the dead ball line play will come back onto the quarter that’s a good news for Southern

Suburb supporters uh I thought during the break that they may replace meninga but obviously the injury is not all that bad must be painful but because every time he gets tackled he gets up with a little bit of pain in his face but not serious this is Mark zilman coming

Through for w Manley dummy half waiting there for it is David Green 7 to3 with a manly leading against Southern suburbs in this the 82 Grand Final dummy half is green again to Walch cross over there to French coming through said a bit of strapping applied to his hand or wrist

Is it the from the play the ball back over to Gary seon seat Well tackled from the play the ball this time back over there to milu his hands got a regather but it’s going to be a knock on as he was shaking for the kick I think

He was on the way to the kick before he had the ball he had the ball in the air before he had it in his hands he was going to really give it a reef down field well that’s been their tactics could be a costly error if South win the

Scrum he’ll be kicking into the wind in this second half that wind as you said before Georgia swung right around this is doors chased across field by Alan power power the lock forward for southern suburbs took care of him nicely Johnson unloaded it to batis trying to he got it away too David

Green on the spot pull down about 10 Meers short of the halfway mark R uh coming through a seat lost it picked up by Billy Johnston Johnston coming back in field got it away over there to chalice chalice going to be picked this time by Walsh but that’s they wanted s

The ball from the play the ball over to Brad tessman oh great tackle nice tackle all right by Brian Walsh dummy half is Billy Johnston Sally turns it back inside coming through as Gary gry almost up to the quarter line now play the ball Johnston swinging it back to Sally to

Lumby Ash Lumby up to the quarter line but plenty of Defense from wter Manley there eventually Rod Morris the one to throw him to the ground Billy Johnston is dummy half Johnston to Sally Sally across to Bruce Harry Harry turns it a m spener final tackle coming

Up from the play the ball Bel to Sally to Harry little chip kick back there as Colin Scott takes it nicely running across field tessman launched himself at him now to Terry Butler Butler well tackle over there by Thompson he’s no doubt about he’s a crowd favorite oh yes gets the ball and

They are up on their toes Terry Butler is probably one of the best position Wingers in Brisbane now this is zilman again 25 me out for the win Manley line but when them are in possession they lead by S to3 dors sending it across to Johnson almost at the center back inside of

Satan oh a good close work there from Johnson and Satan that’s more of the winner manly that we’ve come to know from the play the ball green doors to Jean miles turns it back inside to Colin Scott Scott is wrapped up by power to Miles again and Miles put

Down final tackle defense is terrific 10 me short of the halfway mark green to Rod Morris he going to run it out grank over there they’ll put him to the ground just about on [Applause] halfway just over three and three four minutes into this the second half and

The penal to sou hand in the scrum and this will allow malinga a big kick down field and then s to apply a bit of pressure after that well that should be the w’ll go we’ll see what happens well a big thing of course in this second

Half is that MinGa is still on the field which is good news for Southern suburb supporters obviously his injury uh is painful but can’t be too serious okay Billy Johnson turns it back inside then to oh coming through BR higs rather up to the quarter line is going to be

Tackled big run there by Higgs from the play of the ball now s can they take it up from here tessman who’s that down to the back play Billy Johnson knocked down I didn’t see the The Tackle coming up this time is Last Lum to the dummy half toow turns it back yes

Yes that was forward uh was there any touch judges in about the uh The Tackle I I didn’t I was watching the play I was watching the play and uh Johnson is a little bit groggy but uh he’s a tough customer uh to take more than a a hard

Tackle to here it is there Sul now we’ll see the replay that was Sully with a manly leading by seven to three coming through is David Green from the play the ball now Jean miles cutting rather Johnson cutting across Field Green the Dy half feel we

Might get some rain before this match is over getting very dark here at L Park lost by Colin Scots oh higs was just standing there looking at it he didn’t seem to be going after it at all I think he thought he was offside but in these

Kind of situations you jump on it and take the penalty ladder you certainly do almost minutes into the second half here at Lang par do it again two hookers being called [Applause] out just over six minutes into the second half when with a lead of seven points to three the balls coming out

Their way too that’s doors quickly jumped on right on the halfway mark good news for Southern suburb supporters is that maninger is still on the field didn’t get replaced at halime and he’s playing well here’s wal sending a big one over the top Warren greens back

There gets a hand to it and it’s quickly going to be grabbed by chalice well it looked as it was going to be promising there for a while G Mars grabbed by meninga Hall to the ground green is dummy h green to Rod Morris charging up the

Center and eventually put to the ground right on the halfway mark Ying half green again Satan as they work The Blind Side batis over to Green Straight Ahead chal there CH stole it from him legitimately this time yes legitimately this time good work B chalis he’s having

A good game he went in determined to get it too so that’s Ash lambi picked up and dumped to the ground 8 MERS inside WI territory need some R tonight he felt that one all right s now getting it on to Gary gry gry stopped 5 m inside winham

Territory Johnson from dummy half to Brad Sally who’s organizing it well meninga outside of power well wrapped up though in Gary Sean’s tackle Spencer coming through oh that was now that’s actually it was Spencer’s own fault Spencer was coming back to be dummy half he could get it back coming

Back to to be dummy half and tried to push Satan out of the road Satan was quite within his right to stay there and he lost possession here’s Johnson over the halfway mark before he stopped in a nice Tackle by Brad Sally 7 to3 the score win a manly leading souths doors

Moris moris turns it back this time to Satan sou defense is great solid wiam plugging away though dumy half up there is batis doors Walsh miles miles to French almost through the Gap he’s had a good game in that first half for winter Bley been about the most

Dangerous player they’ve had he’s split the line on several occasions Jean miles too big oh too big Ed up the front row the [Applause] grand just over 8 and a half minutes into the second half and wiam have a lead of 7 to three that was a halim

Lead and the good news for South supporters is that meninga is still on the field and playing well as in this second half we’ll get another penalty here in a moment yes we do one for [Applause] souths penalty Southern suburbs close to the touch line again getting very dark out there in C

Field [Applause] n and a half minutes into the second half Willam leading by seven points to three Adrien higs taking it up Billy Johnson is dummy half Johnston to Sally then across this lost but it’ll be back dived on by Sally no changes to with side during the

Halftime break meninga still there for southern sub okay it’s Johnson from dumming half turns it back this time to power power gets it away to Harry Nice pass coming on to Bela Bel tried to get the pass away meninga scooped it back to chalice but it’s going to be carried

Forward that’s quick thinking too Mana knew he couldn’t pick the ball up himself he just picked it up to chalice class football just over 10 minutes into the second half WI a Manley holding their half time time lead of seven points to three as sou win this one hurry to S

Dispenser then away to meninga meninga Straight Ahead he gets away from the tackle coming in from French still going as a big fellow onto the quarter line before he’s going to be wrapped up powerful run from meninga and he’s got a really fire this second half this is

Brad Sally got away from French on that occasion meninga playing terrifically well be he’s carrying an injury it’s painful to him but obviously not serious or he’d be taken off that’s Ash Lumby made some good ground putting win a manly under plenty of pressure now Billy

Johnson coming up as dummy half back to Sally Sally running around in circles before he’ll be claimed by zilman ding half is Johnston Johnston to Harry Harry turns it back to Hicks HS to testman lost it who’s got it Willam M ball yes they will come away with it underneath all of

That and then was David the man to end up with it Colin Scott running across field bad Miss there for S probably do you think they’re trying to do a bit too much GE no I thought that the uh it was worth the try because they were very

Close to the line they were moving ahead very solidly and had it have been just a little bit better pass could have easily been a try beside the post and they’re in front 87 they’re only uh only a four points out of it a converted trke and

Put him in front now this is Colin Scott loses it picks it up the referee to play a knock on Walsh letting one go at Allen power there and I’m sure he’ll get some rain I can see it coming through from Mount C George yes it’s going to be here

In the next 5 minutes or so I’d say it’s starting to sprinkle now and won’t they scatter in the outer well they’ve got nowhere to go I suppose they’ve got to wear I see a guy here with a red and green umbrella he’s the smartest guy on

The field you’re not wrong with a manly ball down inside their own quarter that’s Gary saton grabbed by meninga and wrestle to the ground David Green to D half now the rain starting to come down Jean miles Walsh try to step back inside Harry succeeds but pull down by

Power nice Tackle by the lock forward over this time to Johnson he’s done a lot of running today for winam straightened hard every time coming up as dmy half is David green back over this time to zilman zilman about 5 me from the halfway mark

Wi with a lead 7 to three back to J Mar miles miles is going to put the boot underneath it Tak Aussie R style there by Spencer he’s working across field to try and get away from the tackle of French but he can’t MinGa coming up as dummy half

Now the big F decides to have a run himself doesn’t get far Brian walz drops in underneath wraps him up 7 to three wiam lead that was a halftime score Johnston tessman Lumby the second round on the go again cuts back inside still going couldn’t get it to Thompson

However that be a top game Ash Lumby from the play the ball Billy Johnston taking it up S keep that momentum going he’s working across field Gary Thompson bustling through opposition himself nicely Thompson good football both sides s on the boil Bruce Harry to no one it was going to be testman but

Things went astray final tackle over this time to higs rocking his way up towards the quarter line before he’s put down might just send a chero caller some of the lads at the in the front over there at Sinai the the boys over there we’re sending a tape over to him to Captain

Keith Morgan and flight Lieutenant Dario Conor the rest of the gang in the ninth squadron at Amy from Amy now on duty in the so all the best boys from the sports Department news R and all of us at League 82 and now we see a play coming up to

About 80 me out from the winter manly line little bit of a skirmish from the scrum but nothing serious here’s as Lami still going the second row jeez had a Powerhouse game today scored scored their only dry coming up as Brad tesman is ding half sou putting on Plenty of

Pressure losing it was spoiled up there by Rod Morris and came away with it professional football from Rod Morris really professional football I had the honor of seeing him play his first test against England at the last series in headingly and boy as he improves okay now we see David green with

It Johnson getting it back over there to zilman 25 minutes remaining in the match the chance starting for Wham but they’re down inside their own quarter they spent a bit of time down there in this half here’s Satan gee that was good work by Morris again he felt

The tackle too that of tesman from the play the ball to miles miles says we’ve got to get out of this place deep down field oh oh yes taken Spencer done he’s been as safe as a bank today threw away the tackle of French French doesn’t like it either because he set

Sail back in there after Butler had eventually tied him up what a [Applause] final THS with a bit of room to move what’s he do set sail up the sideline got up and start to go again batler from the wing battler got him now they wrapping this

Time from the play of the ball Thompson injured in the T I think he’s being held to his feet by belch oh coming through Johnson I thought for one moment power was still going to try and pass but he didn’t now we see southern suburbs midway between the quarter and halfway

Down inside wiam territory Kenny Spencer coming through on that occasion and he hasn’t been coming through enough as far as I’m concerned men over here they go lambi to the four again well at least we’ve got two Geor di Su to give away this afternoon Billy

The best player on each side only half as difficult make it half as difficult that’s right s going to get away to Bruce Harry can the mag pies get through for this elusive try that they’ve been plugging away in the second half for well it’s uh it’s a great game 73 a

Converted trer South can put them in front but both teams are giving it their all like any Grand Final should they’re both playing very intelligent football as well I can’t find too many mistakes with with with either side it’ll be a win of mainly ball yes pet doors comes

Away with it so scrums are going winning away 95 now in this second half they’re going their way 42 Johnson upended didn’t make much head by on that occasion would be one of the few times that he hasn’t in this match Gary Satan the sou defense is hanging

On and now a struggle here at Lane Park and it’s not all over yet rod moris pulled out about 10 meters short of the halfway mark coming up as dummy half is David green green back over there to batis there’s going to be some tired boys after this

Match final tackle wiam have been working up towards a halfway mark that’s about as far as they’ve got now Jean miles has got different ideas but no pull down about 8 me short of halfway terrific game I can remember back to 1972 and I’m sure the kep the

Coach of Des Des can too was on that day uh the famous Jeff 5 field goal 10 years ago that East beat Valley here and Morris was the captain of that team okay this is South ball that’s Bruce Harry trying to slip through and it was about

As tense and exciting as this one Peter doors underneath dummy half is Sul to tessman tessman shed one tackle that of Johnson couldn’t get away from the next one though the crowd mightn’t like this spitting rain but the players would be loving it you bet you that’s

Higs s plugging away wiam hanging on to their lead of seven to three s picked up nicely This Time by Alan power got it back then to belch coming around meninga gets the way to chalice chalice Cuts back inside got it away this time to Bela back to

Binga oh he tried to get a one-handed pass to chalice but lost it oh gee oh GE desperation St yes but uh Southern suburbs so not out of this game by a long shot half of the game Left 21 minutes left and it’s 73 and by

Golly we’ve got a final on our hands here David Green from dummy half got to be wrapped up by Lumby I see Dez M sending his Runner out Bruce Cory he’s obviously going to make some sort of a change this is oh what a crunching tackle there Cory can’t get a

Message to anybody yet dummy half is David Green wi HIM lead by seven to3 Jean miles [Applause] wrapped up about 20 Meers out from his own line from the play the ball green to Rod Morris over to Butler little bit of room to move Su comes at him slows him down

Doesn’t stop him now he goes tackle from behind by higs the end of the tackle count and here’s Bruce Cory coming onto the field he know he’s been he’s running off again uh I don’t know what he’s trying to do de moris is trying to get some sort of a message out

There there’s the winam SE go saring up the outer have a look at him oh great stuff ball into the [Applause] scrum but the referee want it again Willam have got this one now that’s Colin Scott they’re winning those scrums now 116 and that’s um 63 second

Half now we see winter Manley with it David Green couple of meters inside Southern suburbs territory a bit bit of a shock for someone the outer it’s the police are attending to somebody it look they’ve got the ambulance respirator there and uh the excitement is immense and let’s hope that there’s no real

Problems David Green from dummy half to doors then away wal he’s lost it and a knock on right on [Applause] halfway 21 minutes into the second half red by su takes it out goes around on the open side but can’t get away from the tackle of doors who chased him

Around over there rain continues to Tumble down this is Spencer Spencer to about 8 meters inside with a manly territory can sa take it up from here no addition to the halftime score this is real Championship stuff now with 80 minutes of play remaining this is when

The uh the fight really begins this is Billy Johnson sends it away to Sally oh he was thinking about giving it outside to higs well Sally and Lumby and Harry obviously the danger men in that side there’s Lumby and for winner Manley I feel Colin Scott’s not doing enough up

To the quarter line final tackle coming up Bel Bela still going he’s only got Scott to beat no one around and final tackle Brad Sally come about a quarter of a second too late and as I just saying the win Manley players have really got to lift themselves now

They’ve got to learn to lift themselves right now because sou know how to do it and they’re doing it and a try will make a little difference to them Peter doors lining up for the scrum it’ll be a win and ball D going to be put down about 10 met

Out from his head line David Green getting the ball when he had to when they were desperate for it coming up as dumming half is Gary saton Satan back to Walsh Walsh to miles then the butler Butler tackled nicely This Time by Thompson a good tackle Gary Thompson

Those two Wingers having a great du out there from the play of the ball now wiam Manley with Gary seon taking it up the center 7 to three wiam leads outs Wayne Bullock on the sideline getting warmed up for winam Manley okay back at comes this time to batis some of these guys

Getting pretty weary out there I think you might find Satan will come off but we’ll see what happens Bullock is the replacement player anyway when he gets on there doors to Walch to miles to French to Miles doubling around through Lum there and it’ll be Belta with it Belta held by Warren green

Inexperience and a bit of desperation there from Scott should have hung on to it kick through dived on by tessman in experience again from Jean miles kicking at the ball giving six tackles away dummy half fighting up there this time is chalice he’ll send her back inside to

Spencer Spencer will be tackled by Johnson from the play the ball dummy half fighting for it is Billy Johnston Johnston over there to Sally coming through the big front rower gry o he unloaded to MinGa was a big M yes it was away from dummy half Billy

Johnson s putting on the pressure again Bel back inside oh Chas taken pretty high yes penalty uh was a reflex action for mine he he went chalice went inside here’s the replay he went he went inside and and miles shoved his arm out this is the

Miles is wrong footed and he jumped back into him there’s no doubt it was a little bit high but uh in and on that occasion when the player goes back inside so quickly all he can do is launch yourself back inside and attempt to try and slow him down see chalice is

Okay but uh it was definitely a high tackle and deserved a penalty Bullock on and batis off for win Manley batis is off oh yes there he goes well I thought Satan might go but we’ll see what Bullock can do okay now Southern suburbs and they cross for that try that

They’ve been pushing away desperately for in this the second half 15 minutes remaining as Billy Johnson takes a tap just inside the quarter line S Harry S doubles around loses it they reather knock on W A Manley flying up in the fence then and that put them off a bit

As I said just before this is the critical stage of the game four 15 minutes left no score in the second half both teams getting a little bit frustrated and it is very critic that they settle down and play the football and here goes doors nice covering Tackle

By power though gee they’re getting some scrums in this second half winam 137 winam way the scrums okay this is Bullock the replacement player churning up the center from the play the ball Satan intercept intercept by Thompson Thompson coming back inside no support anywhere but he’s pulled down about 25 M

Out from the winter manly line well that’s what sou need the ball back over to power or tessman rather tessman up to almost on the quarterway bullet coming in over the top from the play of the ball Johnston dummy half almost on the quarter back

Inside to higs Bo gol as he done some work Adrien higs trying to fight his way through tessman coming up as dummy half winning with a lead of 7 to3 South desperate for that try back inside to grank grank pulled down 10 me out winam must keep them out now if they’re going

To win this final Billy Johnston coming up as dummy half Johnston back to Sally there’s not too many men out this way so he goes back the other way speat sends it on to Bel Bela going to be tackled can he stay in the field of play gets a

Pass in but the flag is up flag up oh what a tense final and this there’s plenty of action out in the field and unfortunately looks like we have a spectator who uh who can’t stand the pace and they B the ambulance through and I let’s hope he’s okay or

Whoever it is let’s hope okay important scrum and it’s a WI a manly ball referee wants it in again though penalty souths penalty to the magp KH kick for goal differential penalty talking to Rod Morris Morris acknowledging the fact that he’s been caught on a misdemeanor and a chance for southern suburbs now

Six tackles from this kick and just on 30 minutes of play remaining and as I said down by Four Points a converted trike and put him in front 87 can they do it Billy Johnson got plenty to say to his team up there as they attempt to try

And get this try back to higs higs will bring it up the center from the play the ball now dummy half Billy Johnston to Sally to lambi lost the ball and it’ll be a win and ball have got it 10 me out that land up with it though Jean

Miles was a man to do it as it rolled loose lost by S from the play the ball Jean miles away from dummy half maninger up there sou defense has been the feature of this second half they kept win him down that half most of the time well that was

Their that was their game plan they said that really winam hadn’t been tackled hadn’t been put any pressure on and boy they’ve tackled him and they put some pressure on them they’re still behind but they can still pull it out don’t worry about that a big kick from Miles

Got to be taken back there by Ken Spencer by God he’s been saved greasy ball and all and he’s taken it like a true professional going to be put down about 10 me short of that halfway mark though and that makes it a long way for

S to go from there anyway we’ll see Brad tesman didn’t go too far forward crunch back in the Tackle by French Gary Thompson from dummy half over to S Su unloads to Lumby Lumby about 10 met from the halfway mark still wiam Lee by seven points to three 11 minutes remaining in

The match Su to Harry Harry getting it away then [Applause] to from the play of the ball dummy half is higs higs swinging back over there to Harry there’s no real backline for souths no one there Brad tesman gets it back this time oh that was a bit dicey picked up by

S and eventually Ash Lumby coming through oh the defense is really tired and the players are really lifting themselves at this particular moment of the game oh a bit of room for Butler this could be dangerous oh went close to knocking it on but didn’t touch the

Ground and pull to the ground right on the halfway mark boy we’ve had plenty of excitement here today the big crowd certainly haven’t been disappointed that’s Bullock trying to take it up for wiam Manley only one try a piece and greens kicked two out of two and maningas missed two out of two

That’s Rod Morris 12 me inside Southern suburbs territory Downy half green green to Satan slips over as he tries to cut back inside I hope this stand of solid construction Billy there’s a bit of noise out there I’m a little bit worried people with a bit more white

Seem to fall faster than the others here’s what a Manley with Jane miles putting the boot right underneath it back over the head of Spencer he lets it bounce who he tackled what about that David Green trying to get through held up the only B Spen has made today

And it could prove costly bulock it will if they can get it away but they can’t knock down six to go six to go getting it back to Miles well when miles kicked that ball I thought to myself what a stupid kick and it was really except that Spence for his

Only blemish lost the ball okay here’s Mark zilman charging for the line and you’ll see Morris inject himself any moment here been a manle in possession they’re only about seven me out a try here will RAB it up David Green trying to force his way through using moris as

A decoy on that occasion dummy half waiting for it is zilman 7 to three the score when him leading just under nine minutes remaining Jean miles Walch that’s it prin is in and it’s over oh there it is there it is the green and red horde

On the out at L foul what a day for win a manly have a look at them will they have gone to Rising they have gone absolutely crazy Brett French has scored the try the dancing magfire in the outer is doing back sules and uh Brett French

The tri scorer and what a great season he’s had and what a great team try all around here it is the perfect pass scores the try Jean miles Brian Walsh Walsh the great game he’s had French and once French has hit the ball it’s all over shut the gate two tries 10 points

To three and uh all from a unfortunately from a mistake from uh from Kenny Spencer Brett French is not feeling real well will take the kick and come back with the front on replay stay with us [Applause] Warren green who’s kicked two out of two

Can he make it be out of three on a 13 points 12 points to three and here’s the try once again from front on you’ll see the work that does here it goes quick hands was on Jean miles watch Walsh dances then away it goes once again perfect football the pass beating the

Man and in the try goes 12 points to three win a man leading back with the football okay well that’s just about wrapped it up now just under seven minutes to go and I perished to think what’s going to happen at the end of the game Geor I’m just

About pulled the fence down down here well I’m pleased I’m up here and uh I’m pleased I haven’t got to haven’t got to get in a and uh I’ve got a red shirt on anyway I better find a green hat or something David Green from the play the

Ball on a bullock Bullock almost through but lost his balance Brad Sally named by the referee you’re wondering why Sally didn’t tackle him Sally named by the referee you’re offside he had to let him run past him miles putting the boot down there Spencer who will dream about that ball

I’m sure oh this has been a great souths have have won the third grade by the way 22 points to three and what a game in reserve grade reg winning by 11 points to 10 over valleys and it was a real Cliffhanger as the as the score indicated sou have lost possession on

This occasion winning with it six minutes remaining in the match Jean [Applause] miles bulock held up got up to doors doors about 10 met inside Southern suburbs territory white to Satan Satan going to be [Applause] tackled from the play the ball this time back to dors dors decides to go

Through might just reflect on a few things Southern suburbs it seems that win a man will win their first Grand Final Southern suburbs can hold their head very high I can tell you that they’ve played tremendously this afternoon without their Skipper and Captain Bruce Asel and uh great

Performances from every player on that team waiting for the scrum to pack down just inside the southern suburbs quarter line 12 to3 wiam lead sou ball coming across to Spencer Spencer is eventually put to the ground 25 me out from the south line from dummy half this time is

Belch dummy half coming up is Billy Johnston Sally some of these South Players really starting to feel the pinch now and you can’t say you blame them it’s hard enough when you’re uh leading by nine points to keep going but when you’re trailing it’s doubly difficult waiting now for higs is dummy

Half to Sally then across to Harry Harry gets to the way to tessman tessman tried to get a pass back inside it’ll be Rod Morris’s ball and I’d say uh Dez Morris goes down goes into the history really because he coached the first winam team but also uh

Outside of Bob backs and Henry Hollow way he’s the only coach in the last 40 years that has he go Scott inside the only coach in the last 40 years that has coached two different clubs to premiership wins as Dez his career started here his first Grand Final here

Was in 1968 he led East Grand Final Captain them in 1972 Captain coach of East 7778 and now he’s come out as a sideline coach with a very worried look on his face and that is a great career Dez moris congratulations I don’t know what he’s worried about

Back inside to Harry I suppose he thinks well while there three minutes of play remaining but I don’t think he’s got any worries they have to score two converted tries South the only worry we’ve got to try to get out of the place could take a week it’s a tribute

To uh to the game and and of those guys to Dez Morris and Bob McCarthy as I said on Sports World two of the nice guys in League two great players two great competitors in their days uh both playing in premiership sides and coming out with with these two teams today well

Conditioned and great football no spite no rough stuff just good football that’s what we like to see meninga puts the kick in well he’s got to try something going back there is Brian Walsh Walsh will take it straight up to belch chalice coming across Walsh eventually claimed by maninger on the halfway mark

Just reflecting on the season Billy we’ve seen some great football here at Lang Park this year and uh and uh the state League of course the first year that’s going to be great next year it’s going to be bigger and better than ever and the football atlan has been terrific

And we look forward next year of course and having the exclusive rights to broadcast the game will be on the same time at 6:30 and it’ll be great football next year as well I’m sure of that oh around the cor nicely to Colin Scott it

Took 78 minutes to get one away but he got one there did it well coming up as dummy half is David Green this crowd are just waiting to really go up when that fulltime Hooter goes and that’s only 1 minute 48 seconds away final tackle coming up bulock is the dummy half

Bulock will send it across to Rod Morris Morris almost through back to away half back is in underneath the oh Rodney Morris and there’s Dez Dez is pretty happy now he’s pretty happy now and three tries that’s tied it right up DJ is fapping himself getting congratulated from everybody and

Obviously talking to 4bc at the moment but look at Rod Morris Rod Morris got the pass away doors Mark zman’s congratulating him and boy are they happy and isn’t it great for football here it is watch the pass from Morris he’ll be on the kangaroo tour the first

Man picked I’d say two hands to it nilly on the ground and doors goes through brinky just can’t get all of him and Peter door’s got the biggest quit in the face you ever seen your life he can’t wait to get to them goal post and put

The ball down and that’s 15 points to three and three tries to one with a simple kick to come we take the the kick and come back with the replay once again Jean miles congratulating doors and look at the crowd in the outer the the red and green streamers uh green kicks

Over 17 points to three it’s worth looking at again from front on because you’ll see what Rod Morris does with the ball where’s the front on replay watch Rod Morris terrific internationalist fell now he gets the ball at two hands almost down on one knee and Away goes

Doors couldn’t believe his Good Fortune as I said look at the grin he can’t stop smiling and that he might well keep doing as well final seconds of the game Billy Smith counting it down with 765 Billy Smith counting it down with 765 and it’s all over wi Manley the 1982

Grand Final winners have defeated souths by 17 points to three and there it is Dez moris the man on the sideline what a happy boy and my two George Simon suit winners if we can find them in the meley we probably can’t DJ is almost crying I think great performances from everybody

But you got to pick out two players and it’s very hard to do on Grand final day breathing in and out Dez moris I’d say for southern suburbs my player of the game Ash Lumby top game for the second row R Lumby never stopped trying scored their try almost scored another one

There he is and on the wing for on the at the 58th position for uh winter Manley Brian Walsh Walsh coming into his own and what a great game Rodney Morris being ched from the field so my two George Simon suit winners the two two top players in this 82 Grand Final for

Winter Manley Brian Walsh and uh for southern suburbs Ash Lumby it was great to be here you’re not wrong well we’ll be back here again next year of course and as George said a few minutes ago Channel I will be here exclusively next year and we’ll be showing the games at

6:30 so till we’re back with you for rugby league in 1983 and uh this St Billy J Smith thanking our crew for a top class job we’ve given us some excellent pictures for you at home we’ll leave you now from Lang Park be back in 1983 great [Applause] Stu [Applause]
