Had a lot of beers with Thirsty at the Gasworks pub in the sixties along with a lot of old parra boys. He wasn't called thirsty for nothing. He'd be in my best Parra sides. Sad day.
One if my first memories of Parra at Cumberland Oval is Thirsty making a break and just steamrolling the Penrith fullback. Couldn't be bothered to try running around him.
Loved some of the stories when he was a garbo, he would down 12 schooners the night before, be on the garbo run from 4 in the morning and amazed everyone how he could do it. A great shame he was in the shadow of Johnny Raper or he would have played many more games for Australia.
Broke his leg in a trial game before the 63 UK Tour which he was a moral to be selected for. Possibly the greatest ever Kangaroo side.
"This bloke should be a politican with his BS spin. Parrmatta signed Pezet before they released Lomax, Pezet first signed a 3 year contract with the Broncos staring in 2027 than signed 1 year with the eels for this season, nothing to do with Lomax. …"
"I'd continue the public awareness verbal-judo strategy pointing out Melbourne refused to release the Fox on compassionate grounds unless a fair player swap happened — for years until the Fox's contract expired."

Rest in peace Ron Lynch

Started watching the Eels in 1968. Ron Lynch was one of my favourite players. Funny how such news hits a chord.
