We've all seen the great man coach, now watch him play! Wayne Bennett plays wing/fullback in this sometimes spiteful interstate clash between QLD and NSW at Lang Park on Saturday afternoon May 29, 1971.
NSW took out the first match of the series, 12-3, the previous Wednesday at Lang Park, giving QLD only a few days to turn it all around.
QLD was coached by the legendary Bob Bax, who Wayne Bennett would later name as a major influence on his coaching career.
