Holy cow the memories came back. Awesome stuff.

What an incredible rugby league player Mal was, and an even better person. A stand-up bloke. Respect.

Injuries curtailed his career. Quite seriously, apparently his hamstrings simply generated too much power for his legs to cope with which over time caused long term injuries.

Andy Gregory is in exalted pest company with Gary Freeman and Toby Greene. Absolute cheap shot merchant.

Awesome clip Mel. Wonderful. Family origins are so great to know / feel / enjoy / and appreciate. What a blessed ancestry and island to call home.

Que hermoso poder conocer de otras culturas siempre es un delite, saludos desde México... Tradicionalmente, la Haka era una danza maorí de guerra que tenía por objetivo intimidar al enemigo y prepararse emocionalmente para la batalla. Una muestra feroz del orgullo, la fuerza y la unidad de la tribu. Consiste en un baile compuesto por percusión corporal y canto. Se hace al unísono, y entre los movimientos rítmicos que le caracterizan se encuentran: fuertes pisotones en el suelo, movimientos de brazos, manos temblorosas y los singulares gestos faciales que pondrían nerviosa a más de una persona. Haka (pronunciado «jaca») es una palabra maorí para referirse a uno de los tipos especiales de kapa haka o artes escénicas folclóricas grupales características de la cultura maorí de Nueva Zelanda, en la que se combinan cantos, movimientos, voces y gestos vigorosos sincronizados.

What a legend and a humble man. Nothing cocky about big Mal.

I love this. In America they probably don't allow this or have anytime to appreciate culture

🏡 Wahine. Womens’ Power. 🏡

One of the best or greatest to play the game

Remember it well

RIP Gary Cameron, an excellent player.

MAL the GREATEST EVER on and off the field and also even a greater human being

Mal was and is the greatest never appreciated him whilst he was playing as he was a Queenslander n played for Canberra but he was and is THE GREATEST PLAYER in history both on and off the field

Great game so happy to see three of my all time fav kiwis Mark Graham Clayton Friend and Olsen Filipina also Scofield andTony Myler he could play brilliant player

A beautiful story about a wonderful person he wasn’t a bad rugby league player either.

That tackle in Grothe to cause him to be injured in today's game would be classified as the worst hip drop grading

Haci bunlar AKİNCİ gormemis 😂😂

Ok are you finished? Can we play now?

It's revolting

A really great video! Thanks for posting!

Sick kiwi jersey as was the reserve white one use a year later on the NZ tour of PNG.

Saw him play when he had a brief spell at Wakefield Trinity. Getting on a bit by then but still had it 😂

Central Tigers!!! Come on you Tigers!!!!!!

I sat on the fence at Central Park Wigan watching the second test in 1982, my first ever match. I saw elite sport for the first time, the Aussies were something else, Mal made me want to play rugby league. Top athlete, incredible skill, very disciplined, a role model and fantastic human being. As a Saints fan, it meant the world when Mal signed, he gave the other players another 10% each. 4 GB tours! All of these comments say it all.

Thanks for this.

hes a Maori

He played the game hard but fair, a true sportsman! I am a proud Kiwi but grew up in Cairns Nth QLD. Watching big Mel Meninga play as a youngster was bitter sweet, to me he represented both hero and villain. Hero when he played for the Raiders and Queensland. The other when he lined up against the Kiwis. But definitely one of the greatest to play the greatest code. Respect to you Mel, thanks for the memories big fella

Watching great rugby players - of union or league - made me realise “soccer” was the emperor’s new clothes. Thank you for the great rugby memories, Mr Meninga

Nzrugbyvids,fucking awesome content.Thankyou u r the boss,appreciation from Australia u r the goods❤

I have to say n I'm no tiger supporter but Ben Elias is next immortal or should be.changed hooker game played like the 7or 6,steps n feeds the ball.One of the real greats n kicks n chase.A master-class legend.

Enjoying these old videos. Another great aussie touring side. Still think the 82 side was better though

It'd be good if Mal was prime minister of Australia.

MY FAVOURITE RUGBY LEAGUE PLAYER OF ALL TIME....... The Legend...Mal Meninga a.k.a The Raider King 👍❤☝👊

Man Tanna represent!!!!!

Great stories on both of them.

Up ya go Mal you champ.

As a non Australian, I am a proud Kiwi. But yes Australia He is truly one of the one greatest ever

I wonder if Steve Bowden got he's headbutting inspiration from watching that gooden by John Gray.

At that time..i was 3 years old

At that I was doing grade 3, 7 years old

The pinnacle,as a kid growing up in Nz,this man was it👊🏾🖤

played against him in under 13, was amazing then as he was later, wat a great man , she has bigger legs than him

My childhood hero favourite player of all time

Sad to see Qld favorable son BIG Mal going out on a low note.

Who's H.D. l mean l heard him talking about all manner of v things ., on my radio this morning really really early., just before the local station steamed the Opening of Paris Olympic Games. I know what he looks like from those years before l stopped watching tv. He's in Paris if he's telling true, him and his mate. I looked in google to see what his name actually is ., but no luck. Fairfax might know? This isn't about Cronula Sharks , though they get a mention in passing. Im more interested in the common theme H.D. was portraying as if his best mates do the task in my town. Anyone know. Maybe, England knows. I thought a rabbit and said hi today. But he wasn't one , and hadn't heard H.D. today. The neighbours across the street got paint on their side of the street bridge. But it's cool , l said , hi. He's not the one you want. It's maybe me eh. But they will blame the one who goes to the house across the street.

Laurie underrated legend. Was better than Fittler and Joey.

A field goal in the 43rd minute 😂😂😂
