Friday Night Footy | 1975 Grand Final

For this week's edition of Friday Night Footy, we rewind the clock 45 years to our back-to-back Premiership victory in 1975.

The Roosters were looking to go back-to-back after a clinical Grand Final win the year prior against the Bulldogs. 

Without fullback Russell Fairfax, who was unable to play due to a broken leg, the Roosters would need a big effort against the Dragons. 

Re-live or enjoy for the first time one of the greatest victories in Tricolours history as the Roosters went on to secure their 11th Premiership.
