I don't know why it has taken so long for this page to appear in the Biff - but here it is - bon appetite.
Links to old film clips. If you know of any worthy of being included, email Quigs at the Biff with the link - and if it is worthy then he will include it.... Lets build up the Library - pronto....


THE OPINION OF QUIGS ... For what it is worth - Enjoy viewing the old clips below. They were either Sent in, found, or discovered mainly on the YouTube website, in the Rugby League section. The Pom ones and others are still there, still FREE, as with the intention of the Internet- to share information for FREE to the world - and the clips are still great to watch. But thanks to 'our' games modern day wisemen, the all powerfull NRL and their almighty power of censorship and their worship of the almighty corporate dollar - they have threatened YourTube and as a result all league clips related to the NRL have now been removed. Its a case of stuff the old supporters that want to relive old memories and share it with the younger ones for FREE.... mongrels... no wonder the modern game sometimes pisses me off. So if you see this message on the links - don't blame me - blame the short sighted money hungry bastards at the NRL... The "YouTube" message reads....

No 10: 1980 Grand Final Brisbane Brawl - from bashuppark

Biff Hardmen and Heroes featured


The Norths Devils won the fight and the game to shock favourites, the Souths Magpies, in the 1980 Grand Final at Lang Park. Stars of this brawl were Rossy Henrick, Mal Meninga and his mate Peter Dutton and of course the great Campbell 'Zulu' Dews. Souths winger Gary Thompson was the poor unfortunate soul to cop the Angry Ant's (Henrick's) flying right hook. The Devils won their first grand final since 1969 with this memorable 17-15 win. Norths were coached by Kiwi Graham Lowe and Souths' coach was the legendary Bob McCarthy..
