My Dad just sent me the following in an email. I thought I'd share...
"He was my hero when I was about 14 and following the mighty Eels. One of his nicknames was bucket because he never dropped the ball. When he played in England a Pommy bookmaker took bets on him dropping the high ball and never paid out over several seasons. He was an ornament to the game. When you think of blokes like him you have to wonder how a drop-kick like Andrew Johns can remain an immortal."
"He's already played a ton of lower grades. His best course of action is to play off the bench as he has been for NRL.
He needed a pre-season. After 2026 if he is still all over the place then yeah go for your life knocking him."
"It's last years heritage which i quite like. I love their current home one but this is a nice substitute. There will be minor changes of course, I do hope the blue is a bit darker."
