Didn't said hi ball bounce about no more than a foot from the dead ball line and bounced straight up?

Are you sure Elias was sent off as I still have the tape he wore around his wrist that night! I was clearing out some of my things from my mums last year and came across this from running in the pitch after the game, so I don't think Elias would have been on, unless he re-emerged from the dressing rooms.



It is also my favourite ever game and I remember Mal Meninga telling me off for shoving my autograph book right in his face. He didn't even play that night but he eventually signed it anyway!

I thought it was Billy Conway who was sent off. I'll ask him next time I see him in the Comrades

Elias was sent off after the game had finished for fighting on the way off if I remember correctly?

I remember the JT v Elias scrap, it was smack bang in front of me and no holds barred. I remember them both walking but maybe just for 10 mins.



It was also my first experience of what is now a Catalans match at our ground i.e. when the opposition score there is a deafly silence.



If anyone has a copy of the match and can put it on DVD that would be much appreciated. All costs would be reimbursed and I'll collect at a home game next season. Please

Was Toppo coach then?

Yes.

Funny thing about that was that by the 2nd & 3rd Tests much of that midweek team was 1st choice.

Remember Andy Kelly cow tailing Mark Carroll during one of the fights.



Andy Wilson had a superb game despite tearing his knackersack.



Mason was superb and the whole team responded to Australia's bully tactics.



I think we scored 4 tries which was better than every other club on the tour, possibly Halifax may have matched us.

We need some of that "we aint going to roll over for anyone" attitude in our first few games this season just to make others sit up and take notice.



Newmarket Cat - Comrades is that still going.

No sorry but that was in a game against Leeds.
