 Fremantle played in the 1981 Grand Final in a match that and is still talked about as one of the best games of rugby league ever seen in WA.Scores were locked at 28-all at full-time and an extra 20 minutes of extra time failed to separate the sides.With players constantly going down with cramp in the intense heat, both captains refused to play a further five minutes of extra time and the League unable to schedule a replay, a joint premiership was declared.
