  • 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

"Yep, Chiefy, agreed. I think JR will slot Pezet into 7 and leave Volkman at 6 if Moses goes to Origin"

"Blue Eel, I did the unicorn, but not sure finals are within this team's grasp. Too many things needed to go right and nothing has went right all year! But I interpret you that JR might put Pezet at 18-19 as cover for a half, and I agree there"

"Why would JR put Pezet at 14? We assume you mean if Smith is not available and Pezet at 14 is there to . . . well he would not play hooker, surely? Defesnive liability in the middle. And can only cover 6 or 7, which is kind of what 18-19 is now for?"
