Special memories here for me here. Growing up in St. Helens, these men shaped my childhood: Mal Meninga, Phil Viewers, Andy Platt, and none more so than Neil Holding. I remember being there watching this match. Holding in particular was an idol of mine, and Meninga's single season had such an influence. What an era!

those in the know down at the Canberra Institute of Sport rated Mal as a potential Olympic decathlete, looking at him at 5:50 stretch out , you can see why.

80s league was the golden era for me,Ray French commentating,absolutely brilliant!!Big Mal made such a difference for saints this season scoring numerous tries and putting the fear of God in opposing centres ,and all for £1500 a match!!compare that to what some of them are on today ,absolute bargain.

Not really as Rovers were soundly beaten in this final but were worthy Champions that season.

Saints win and a bevy of four 80's fashioned blonde sorts on the podium. RL has everything.

It's a shame we don't get to see players of Meninga's quality in England any more.

TheSamantha70 ...yep, I’m a massive Inglis fan, he’s amazing, but Mal Meninga was unstoppable and a natural leader. He’s the best leader and all round player I’ve ever seen.
