I can tell the young uns something else too, there'd be no giving up and conceding 40 in the second half if Jimmy Thompson was on your case

I think we won. If I remember right Saints scored late on and forced a dramatic finale but we held on. There was fighting between supporters cops dragging people out. Those were the days.

Oh indeed. Playing under 1980 rules, most modern hookers would be wailing for their mums after five minutes against the likes of Bridges. Under today's rules, though, I think I would pass, unless he got special dispensation to use motorised transport between rucks.

It's a big call identifying the 3 Saints defenders in that photo. I think Mel James could be the number 8 but I think I'm going to ask Uncle Mick to help us out with the other two as I don't think hot stepping Geoff Pimblett ever had a perm like that full back! Come on Mick - for a man that had a re-tweet from Joe Cobb last week this could be your chance to quieten the doubters.

Ha ha, my memory playing tricks again, thought it might have been earlier!!
