Which one, they were both excellent.

That's a classic 'star' Kevin Dick would have been proud of that one.

Robin Whitfield got conned something rotten there.

That Hull KR fan view on the incident....

Wasn't Broadhurst NZ heavyweight boxing champ?

I'm not aware of any boxing career, but he'd have gone OK.

Here's some more action involving Broadhurst.

I like a bit of biff, but that's the major incident of "Thugby League" going far, far too far. Proper Wild West stuff.

What's surprising is how long it takes for Les Boyd to arrive on the scene.

Rex scores a couple of good tries in this compilation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6djsLCkXSU But that elbow by Moriarty on Waddell is probably the worst I've seen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pzwjaTx94w

The Cassidy one on Morley's at least its equal IMO. Don't think it did the same damage but it wasn't for any want of trying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqBZa1HLvQ8

I think that was the one where Des Lynam couldn't hide his disgust when they returned to the studio at the end of the game.

I believe he was. Thought he was a great player, no cheap shot merchant either. I liked that KR team, played some great rugby.

The game was (imo) tremendously entertaining back then. Players chucked the ball everywhere and were good at it. That Widnes game is a classic example, some tremendous attacking play, and the added entertainment of some (mostly harmless) rough stuff although Moriarty's elbow was disgusting even back then.
How good were Heron and Divorty. Superb ball players.

I can't remember anyone who watched and lived the game back then say otherwise. The sheer variety in both attack and defence made it brilliant.
