Dunbar Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Souths Logan Magpies (or just Souths Brisbane). I have been watching a lot of the Brisbane League stuff from the 80's recently as I watched the Winfield Cup stuff from NSW back in the day but less from Brisbane... but all those Kangaroo and Maroon legends make it great viewing.

Stotty Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 All the videos on that channel have been stretched from their original 4:3 screen ratio to the modern standard ratio of 16:9, resulting in everyone being about 25% fatter than they should be. I've uploaded 2 images to illustrate this. The first image is a random screen capture from one of the videos. The second is the same image with its width reduced by 25%. I can't watch videos that look like that first image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlno1 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Anyone interested in past Brisbane League, an excellent podcast well worth listening to is called Moments in Time. Series one covers the major moments of each season from 1968 to 1977. A name you will hear alot in this is former NRL Commission president John Grant who was a top player in Brisbane. Also mentions a few English players and one who coached Souths, Tom Berry. The most notable Englishman being the legendary Tommy Bishop at Norths. https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/brl-moments-in-time/id1556189050 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had returned to Redcliffe after an illustrious career in Sydney from 1966-80. He had played in Redcliffe's only premiership win in 1965. Also Redcliffe's winger is PNG international Lauta Atoi.

Damien Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I think it would be interesting to imagine where the game would be if instead of the Broncos being admitted to the NSWRL there was more of an amalgamation between the Brisbane Rugby League and NSWRL with the strongest BRL clubs joining the NSWRL.
