Steve Walters was the best runner out of dummy half I have ever seen - he just knew when to take off and was deceptively quick & strong. Here he identified a lazy marker, and took off like a scalded cat to eat up the free metres. 📺 Canberra v Newcastle 🗓️ R10 1990 #WinfieldCup

A couple of cracking long range tries from the Bears and Eels in '91. Conlon starts & finishes his try off a kick-return for Norths, then Kenny & Leeds are key in Liddiard's try from inside Parramatta's half. Great football. 📺 Norths v Parramatta 🗓️ Round 3, 1991 #WinfieldCup

💨 "He's just left them for dead... that's Phil Blake," Blake turns on the pace to split Cronulla up the middle and easily runs around Jonathan Docking to score for South Sydney at the SFS in '88. 📺 Souths v Cronulla 🗓 Round 16, 1988 #WinfieldCup

☝️ ROWDY'S FIRST WINFIELD CUP TRY Happy 60th Birthday to Dale Shearer! To celebrate we've tracked down his 1st First Grade try for Manly, as he goes over the top of Canterbury fullback Michael Potter at Brookvale Oval in '85. 📺 Manly v Canterbury 🗓 Round 3, 1985 #WinfieldCup

Blink and you'll miss Daryl Halligan's 1st First Grade try for the @NthSydneyBears in '91. It's his 59th Birthday today- so HB Chook! A fine finish in the corner for the Kiwi. This is all the vision there is of it though. 📺 Norths v Parramatta 🗓 Round 3 1991 #WinfieldCup

📺 NEC BIG GAME NOSTALGIA 🗣 "Hello and welcome to Penrith Park for our NEC Big Game between the Penrith Panthers and Balmain Tigers..." This video is all about the intro music and vision, not the footy post kick-off. Enjoy. 📺 Penrith v Balmain 🗓 Round 2, 1985 #WinfieldCup

🗣 "Sensational skill! Joe Lydon scores a wonderful try for Great Britain, but it was their only try of the 1st Ashes Test of '92 - with the Lions going down 22-6 to Australia in front of 40,141 fans in Sydney. 📺 Australia v Great Britain 🗓 1st #Ashes Test, 1992 #WinfieldCup

🐾 "Carter in the corner!" 'A dead easy try' from the scrum per Rex Mossop, and it's hard to argue as Penrith expose Canberra down the blind side. Happy 55th Birthday Steve Carter - showed some wheels for this try. 📺 Canberra v Penrith 🗓 Round 15, 1990 #WinfieldCup

Here you go Great Britain fans- no playing favourites. This is a cheap shot by an Aussie in the 1st Ashes Test of '92. Paul Harragon delivers a brutal shoulder into the head of Ian Lucas - who'd retired by '93. 📺 Australia v Great Britain 🗓 1st #Ashes Test 1992 #WinfieldCup

🗣 "CLYDE! Australia do it again!" Shortly after HT, Garry Schofield makes Mal Meninga & Peter Jackson look pedestrian but Andy Gregory's nothing kick releases the pressure. Moments later, Australia take charge. 📺 Australia v Great Britain 🗓 1st #Ashes Test 1992 #WinfieldCup

🗣 "Wally Lewis would be proud of this pass," Arthur Beetson enjoyed this Jason Taylor cut out pass that put Wayne Simonds into space, and he finds Wests rookie Jamie Ainscough who scores his 1st try in First Grade. HB Cough Drop! 📺 Wests v Souths 🗓 Round 8 1990 #WinfieldCup

🗣 "The chase is on.. Daley saves it," Great Britain fullback Graham Steadman produces a smart chip & chase to get past his Australian counterpart Andrew Ettingshausen but Laurie Daley races back to save the day. 📺 Australia v Great Britain 🗓 1st #Ashes Test 1992 #WinfieldCup

🏉 A TEST MATCH CLASSIC "Meninga started it... Meninga will finish it!" This is just about as good a Test Match try as has been scored on Australian soil... 📺 Australia v Great Britain 🗓️ 1st #Ashes Test, 1992 #WinfieldCup

📷 From the personal collection- shout if you know what these are? Sprinkling of the '95 edition at the top too, but the majority of these were collected in '94. Ricky Stuart & Allan Langer were given 'superstar' status - anyone know who else got that tag? 🗓️ 1994 #WinfieldCup

Oh look... another cheap elbow from the tourists. Great Britain's Martin Dermott goes right after Australian debutant Paul Harragon's chin with a clear elbow... Toughness is one thing, but this one is cheap. 📺 Australia v Great Britain 🗓 1st #Ashes Test, 1992 #WinfieldCup
