The
1977 Rugby League Grand Final went down in History
as the first ever tied Grand Final. Even with twenty
minutes of extra time, could the sides be split, and
the game was set down to be replayed the following
Saturday.
Parra had knocked out the Bob Fulton led Roosters
to earn the right to face Harry Baths St George Dragons.
The date was September the 17th.
Played before 65,959 people the gripping grand final
ended in a 9 all draw after the addition of 20 minutes
extra time. |

| It was a fluctuating
struggle with saints bolting to a commanding lead and
the Eels steadily whittling away the deficit in a torrid
second half. In the 62nd minute Parra Coach Fearnley appeared
to make a winning move when he sent on the injured John
Bomber Peard. His pin point kicking game, particularly
the high bomb had proved the down fall of many sides during
the season.
He linked with cronin to put Sulkowicz over for the equalizer
late into the game, but the Cronin pressure conversion
veered to the side of the upright and the game was forced
to go into extra time.
In a torrid period both defences held and the game was
scheduled for the historic replay the following Tuesday.
