BRING BACK THE BIFF PEOPLE!!!!

Britain, couldn't win the game, the fight, or the hearts of the crowd.

A great footballer and a gentleman. RIP Steve.

Briton David Hobbs was banned for three games and fined $1000 for his elbow on Greg Conescu in the dying seconds. Hobbs sent one of Conescu’s front teeth flying. However the Aussie declared himself available for all footie after visiting a dentist three days later.

Wow 😲 Eric grothe was FAST 😅

Such a different game then , alot of sutte biff . Abit of a grind. I love how the crowd were able to swarm the field, l remember the fun of jumping the fences and getting autographs , and tackling the other kids with jerseys on .

Using the elbow is a penalty? How you supposed to get some elbow room then?

I'm pleased with the added intensity with which Great Britain have brought to this second test, it was unmitigated hostility that lost them the first test. The focus and calm is evidenced by their discipline in general play. Fatty vautin played with the keenness of youth, gene miles always good going forward providing the backs with room and options and meninga was rather quiet really, but I love the nostalgia, thanks for the upload 😅

What a delight Mike Gibson was. Such an experienced and knowledgeable sport expert.

What the Hell No ST jOHNS PEOPLE THERE i

Great Britain putting up a special olympics team.

What's happened to international Rugby League? it doesn't exist anymore!

That’s what you call rugby league. Real men!!! Even the referee was tough…

Go tha Aussies 🇦🇺

International Rugby League just doesn't exist anymore...............the dam game is dying.

Majority Queensland Australian team. QLD must have won the State of Origin that year.

Rugby for simple people.

Rugby League is a Bunch of Rock Chopper's Entertaining Australia.

Real men not the shit we have today him he r she them this world gone to shit

Australia was referring to Britain as "Great Britain" in 1984? That's strange.

They’re tough buggers but seriously the standard is like U16’s today. And all those players throwing punches with impunity .. only thing worse was Jack Gibson’s commentary

A lot of memories here. The games changed in 40 years. Not so free flowing as it is today. No so big on 5th tackle kicks Wingers built like tanks that can dive and place a ball with pin point accuracy.. Imagine if they had the punch ups like they did then, half the players would of been in the sin bin or sent off. I am glad .that kind of violence is not tolerated or common now in these big clashes. The beginning of the reign of King Wally Love or hate him he was a brilliant player for his time along with a few others in that squad.

Chelsea Brown.. haven’t heard that name for 40 years.

this is wally at 24 lol

OH HOW I LOVED MY BIG BROTHER EVEN IF I LET HIM DOWN..GOOD MAN HUSBAND FATHER💜

Pommy always where bad losers, poor old wally no wonder he has bad memory lose now 40 years on

La bravoure est une monnaie de convention : tel va chercher hardiment la mort dans les rangs ennemis, qui tremble devant le fer du bourreau. Il y a de faux braves comme il y a de faux jetons. A dire vrai, la bravoure est une qualité innée ; on ne se la donne pas. Napoléon Bonaparte

do hanley and drummond look similar lol ?

Arthur Summons, Gasnier, Provan and Jack Gibson! What a great video. Awesome

Thank you for this video!

Certainly a step down in quality from the 82 & 86 teams. Although the To&Froms were better as well with Schofield & Hanley beginning their careers.

Goodness me, is Martin Wood any relation to Irish rugby player Keith Wood??

The WEAKEST SIDE AUSTRALIA had ever Fielded to this date.To many political representatives from Queensland.The high Penalty count was because the Queensland players not fit enough to get back on side at the play the ball.

A very WEAK AUSTRALIAN TEAM FULL OF QUEENSLAND GIRLS.

Does anybody have a copy of the full game?

Mate, do you realize how culturally and historically important your channel is? As Australia devolves into a "woke" society of sooks, people like me can come here and relive the "god old days". Memories of an age when hard men played hard games and women were actual real, biological, women. It wasn't perfect, but it was definitely sane, natural and made sense. So, thanks heaps, brutha. 😃

Where was big Blocker at? Wasn't he part of the Balmain team, back in the late 80's with Sirro???

Commentator calling an elbow to the face a tackle??? WTF!!!

Remember this was back in the days you had to have a proper job for an income. And a favourable employer if you were injured on the field.

I was there standing on a milk crate on the concrete in front of the Sheridan Stand.

Did anyone know of a man buddy Gonzales that participated in this game? He went to warrawong high school at the time

Love your old videos, keep them coming please & thanks for posting.

Wow the commentator referring to the exciting black wingers Ellery Hanly and Des Drummond

At 9:30 you can see what seems to be a moment just after the scene immortalised in the famous Gladiators photo of Provan and Summons embracing.

Penalty for punching bring that rule back

The entire essence of the game was TOTALLY different compared to today. Far more emphasis on just playing the game than getting bogged down in strategy and sticking to rigid patterns. Not to mention actual jerseys instead of sponsor splattered t-shirts! Can we go back to this version of the NRL pleez????

It was odd that Western Australia did not play more regularly against touring teams and a ideal location and opponents for the first game of a Great Britain tour

Who is coaching Sts?

Love the old style goal kicks, five yard rule,coathangers, unlimited tackles, scrums, field invasion at full time, that crowd and what was it back then $200 a win 50 bucks a loss?? 😁
