Larry Corowa

[rsykes999]

As a child going to see the games in late 70's early 80's I always remember Corowa being so fast..... David Michaels from Easts would have been a good race with him though....

Thanks for the memories.I remember watching him play for the Queanbeyan Kangaroos.He scored 5 tries playing for Eden Monaro against the touring Great Britain team.Before that game,a kid from Sydney was sure that Russell Gartner was the fastest player in the game.When the game had finished he had changed his mind.

And may I add not only the recognition of Aboriginal sportsmen but indeed all Australian athletes. Larry Corowa is a great Australian sportsmen.

[TheJimmyNewc]

Larry Corowa never gets the recognition other Aboriginal sportsmen received.

[carntspell]

bloody hell he was fast. The Balmain game plan would`ve been "pass it to Larry". And that chip and chase against St George was just rubbing their noses in it.

Gotta cringe at the reference to the "little coloured lad" in the song. Love the footage though.

He put on weight in the off season 1979 and was never the same.

[BROOKS39]

1978 & 1979 seasons.... The very best of Larry Corowa....

[absolutebore]

Don't recall the two racing. I do recall a one off race between Mortimer and Morris, Morris was too quick.

Corowa was a step up though if they were to meet back then.

[absolutebore]

What great memories of Corowa.

I remember him winning the sprint at the league olympics in 78.

What a great athlete who loved scoring tries.

[SPOOKSTR]

If i remember correctly he beat Steve Morris.

[absolutebore]

Actually Larry was first, with Russell Gartner 2nd followed by Terry Fahey.

Morris didn't come to Sydney until the following year.

[SPOOKSTR]

who won between Morris and Corowa? do u know?...was the race run at the grand final?

[shay10chief]

It was the black flash great player

[axlrose31699]
