  • He was a geat bloke who always had good joke or story to tell. He stood up for what he believed and always heard plenty of good stories about him helping others.

    Younger fans mightn't know that he took on the league in court ending the draft for players when he won the right to play for Western Suburbs where he wanted to play instead of being forced to play for the roosters who drafted him.  Unfortunately the draft rules he beat and were discontinued led to West having to merge with tigers and team he didn't want to join being roosters became a powerhouse under the free trade he created

"It's a good point FM. I often think about a stat from the old NRL Under 20s comp (Toyota cup?). Only 5% of players in that comp went on to play more than 50 NRL games. Early hype is no guarantee of a long NRL career."
