  • I attended this game. Lomax tackled Ritson head high and was sent from the field. That was the last time Ritson played for Parra.

  • Have this game on cd.
    Matthew spence best ever game
  • Ron hilditch lived in my street as I was growing up, and gave me heaps of posters etc during the early 80's, and is solely responsible for my Eels addiction, and the passing of it on my son. Damn you Ron!

"He looks bigger than Twidle to me. Taller anyway.  His contact will improve as he gets stronger and he can use his mobility to find his place at 6.  Coaches can challenge a players defence easier than teaching that natural flair in attack.  "

"1. Ponga

7. Brown
9. Smith
That's what the Knights want to do with their spine,  not sure if that's good enough for a premiership but it will get them playing finals"
