This was the final match where both teams wore unsponsored jerseys (body and sleeves).
Message to moderators:
I can supply graphics for NRL teams & games between 1908 and 2009 - front and back, shorts and socks - with only a small number of gaps between 1974 and 2000.
I'm not on social media and don't know how else to contact you.
Thanks, Alan
