On Fox 2 now....
gee its funny to watch and compare things they do to what happens in todays game.
Canterbury continually put St George fullback Burgess under the test of the high-ball in his in-goal area, which, under the rules of the time, resulted in a line drop-out with the Bulldogs regaining possession. Prop Peter Kelly used the blindside to send winger Peter Mortimer over out wide for a 6-0 half time lead.
Bulldogs half and skipper Steve Mortimer seized control of the match and centre Andrew Farrar clinched it with a field goal in the 72nd minute to take the score to 7-0. A last light of hope appeared for the Dragons when Steve Morris scored and Michael O'Connor converted with five minutes left on the clock. In the end a practised and clinical approach from Canterbury shut out the Dragons who had been the minor premiers.
No Australian rugby league grand final since has been decided by a single point.
Canterbury-Bankstown 7 (Tries: Peter Mortimer. Goal: Farrar. Field Goal: Farrar.)
St. George 6 (Tries: Morris. Goal: O'Connor.)
