"An absolute Legend to be honest maybe better then Brett but injuries knocked him out ...the crow knew how good he was Steve scored a lot of tries of Mick........called try assists these days ...... Mick Cronin no ones comes close except Ray :-)"
"If I'm correct we offered Galvin north of 850K some rumours say way north. How much do you think Peasants signed for at Brisbane ? "
"These are the kinds of players we need to sign, he's genuinely happy to be at the club but also a great player. Tough to find that balance lol "

"Yes there's a difference bringing in a rookie compared to experienced players but it's got nothing to do with combinations. A new player is a new player.

"Hopefully he does stay around. As a club, many of our juniors are Polynesians who have power and athleticism but we haven't really had many indigenous players come through our juniors and become a star. Maybe that was BA fascination with size over…"
"It's like a second coming for him. I had some serious reservations about him coming, but I have been super impressed from the time he arrived. Cant believe i'm going to say this but, by all reports he is becoming a real leader and mentor. Such a…"
"I can see him staying after his playing career. All the talk is how good he is with the juniors and how well he teaches them. Ryles credited JAC as to why Russell improved out of site, particularly in defence."
"Do you really have to build it HKF? The Broncos just won the comp with a brand new 6. Hunt was at the Dragons last year. James Maloney also won the comp in his first year at the Roosters (2013) and then again in his first year at the Sharks (2016).…"
"We were pursuing him first because we had a vacancy at five-eighth for 2026. But Pezet didn't want to play 6, he wants to play 7 where he can get paid for his kicking game. Nobody else wil get kicker money at Parra while Moses is here, so Pezet…"

Mick and Peter Mortimer sat directly behind me at the 09 grand final, absolutely top shelf bloke, they were both very pleasant and quite happy to chat.
This man "THE CROW" is my all time fav EEL. When I played rep league as a youngster I tried to mould my gam and goal kicking around him
Very classy player and man 👏🏻👏🏻👊😎
Theres the carlo kiss of death right there.
Mick, please be safe in the next few days/weeks.
😆😆😆 far out lol
Bit overrated though, wouldnt want him kicking a goal to save your life.
Wouldnt want him coaching to save your life either
For his day he was a great kicker, toe bashing leather balls off sand isn't easy.
As a centre he was defensively flawless and was impossible to put on the ground when carrying the ball.
i was just throwing out a few crumbs HKF, looking for a nibble
Nice one Garry, good to see you got out ok, rumoured to be a few bodies buried under the Gerringong.
Your opionion mate. To be honest It was mentioned by the rep coach back in 84 when I played school rep footy that I played a bit similar to the crow. My all time fav and always will be
