Many moons ago when I played there, we had a full back, Roo Meat Bob Davis(his old man had a kangaroo processing factory) who could drop kick a ball from fullback to CHF with ease. Made it simple for the forwards and sometimes even made me look good too!
When you played Ace wouldnt his nail on spriggs have come off if he kicked that far
They certainly were around then but a good sprigger was worth every beer he earnt in those days.
When the umpire made his check before the game they were in tact; as soon as that was finished, off came the top layer of leather just for climbing up the back of your opponents calf. It would rip the sh*t out of his socks and half his leg to boot!
Those were the days my friend!
