The speed of the game is incredible. What a spectacle!! look at the terraces!! The game today is so much poorer for all the b-llsh-t stoppages. Look at the line speed. Incredible. Such a better brand of Rugby and truly skillful players. RIP Rugby League

I defy any RL fan to testify that today's product is anywhere as entertaining now as it was back then & that's not just nostalgia speaking..! I'm only 33 so grew up in both the pre & post super league eras and there is no contest in terms of spectacle for me. Yes the game is marketed much better these days, but the structural changes and the games obsession with a quick PTB has slowly irradiated the technical and skillful qualities which the game no longer demands and the game is worse off.

Your right never watch the rubbish football 🏈 dished up today the old grounds are gone the skill is all but gone I watched leagev70 80 90 till now game is boring for sure

I loved going to this ground, especially for night matches

Wally Lewis on the bench, what a team

Crooksy taking Les Boyd on Fantastic!

What a night. 2 legendary teams on display. Watching this again as the death of former Hull FC Coach Arthur Bunting is announced. Wonderful era.

Good call mate, RIP the legend Arthur Bunting

Just reading Mick Morgan's biography and came here to watch Topper glide. Watched both Topper and Sterling play in black and white the season later at Headingley in the challenge cup semi final against Cas. I think it was a draw 10 a piece. FC won the replay. Classic rugby. Cas fan.

Les boyd must have had a fight in every game he played in during this tour 👊👊👊

he actually did, it was confirmed in an interview once.

Topliss glided across the ground similar to John Woods, less pace in them days ( was fast at wakefield) but very elusive. Mick crane seems like an unfulfilled talent could have been a great second row to take the pressure off Norton. The Boulevard was a very intimidating place to go, noisy. This Hull team with modern rules, 10 yard spacing, modern nutrition, dry pitched would be very competitive. Bit too much neck stretching then.

Fantastic Vid !! Quite surprised by some of the tackling !!

Brilliant night,Craig Brown said who was that proping against me I couldnt move him! Thats Mick Harrison FC Legend!

Sorry Craig Young

Went to the game v Leeds at Headingley that year 50-5 or something like that....the difference was the aussie big blokes could actually run!

Hopefully these Kangaroo tours make a comeback as has been rumoured

Unfortunately…..

Entirely agree. No steal rule rewards poor handling. Uncontested scrums take away space. Silly nicknames throw away games heritage. Ditto summer season, no more tours and ditching the Great Britain team.

Brilliant! Let me know how much. Cheers Pete

Yeah Peter, I'll let you know when I have it ready

1st penalty seems to have been a "gift". Hull player is tackled a yard inside his own half and referee calls offside against Australia 9 yards into their half - looks like a fair 10 yards.

Boyd didnt want nowt to do with a 19 year old Hull lad Lee Crooks. U ulla.

Ive been looking for this video on & off for 20 yrs. Any way I can get a copy of the dvd? Cheers Pete

O.k great. Thanks for putting that up.

like the way you can take someones head off but can't give them a dig on the floor. bring back the biff!!!!!

One eyed , 6 minutes till 1/2 time Meninga lines up a penalty kick English commentator states Meninga's kick to get Australia back into the game .. The score is Hull 2 Aust 0

Oh Man , The dirtiest player in the game and just keeps getting away with it. My man Rocket Rod Reddy.

Hi

No sorry I don't.

2 things absolutely RUINED rugby league . SKY and SUMMER RUGBY

this is the worst game i've seen the poms crazy.why is'nt sterling kicking,he's miles better than meninga

More really lousy British refereeing, totally ignored obstruction by the British players, ignored forward passes, gave penalties for scrum feeds but didnt care if the British did it or if the British collapsed the scrum, just a rotten exhibition ! The commentators were on the same level as the referee...rotten!
