Jimmy, his father got him basically everything he has. He had contacts with Brian and Tony Smith.
I played against him and his father was a massive influence from the sidelines and afterwards the speed dial to the Smiths. He was never that great a player. I used to absolutely smash him...no shit.
He stood out as he had fluoro white hair, was small and back in the day you could up end an opponent and drop him on his head.

Bennet really did leave the knights in the Shitter. Brown always struck me as an honest, hard working bloke.
But not a coache’s a hole.
He wasn’t a great player either.

Credit where credit is due, he did sign some good players. Can't get them players combining at all though. He might of had a falling out with ponga
Walking before he's pushed.
