Met the great man at his Gerringong Pub today for the first time. What a gentleman! Thanks for all the great memories over the years Mick.

"It might not be a permanent move LB, the game is starting fast this season and Ryles needs to react to this change. This is a much more mobile pack to compete with the Dragons young pack. This is smart strategy and being agile in their team…"

"Not true. Iranian oil in chinese tankers has been and is transiting."
"De Belin coming off the bench will help clean the defense and ruck up a bit."
"I suspect that Williams has been to lock to counter the lack of lateral defence that Pezet doesn' offer, Ryles has recognised the problem and this is immediate answer JDB offers little in cover, hence Williams. Don't be surprised to see JDB used…"

"Correct call on JDB. "
"I thought if jdb shaved his head he was sweet to play "
"Problem is in attack, he's mainly a ball distributor and not great in go forward. The new rules mean treasuring the ball more and gaining ground through the middle means Debelin's style may now be defunct.
Id like to see Moretti come in somewhere…"

"I thought he was brought in to stiffen the middle of the ruck as he has fantastic tackling technique and when he's second man in he basically strangles and kills ruck speed."

"Butler the wanher in the bunker. This bloke had redefined what backward and forward meant."
"Maybe it's simply a case that we have an understanding that DeBelin doesn't play against the dragons?"
"I did kind of assume Debelin was brought in as more of a mentor role for the younger forwards. Probably good to have around training and just if you need a middle on occasion. Not shocked he's more an 18/19 guy. Moretti should also leap him soon and…"
"He should be the 6, 12 or 13. People dont remember that far back obviously."

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
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
There is a reason he is the first "Champion" of Parramatta. Played in all of our Grand Final wins. One of the all time greats and worthy of Immortal status. I laugh at anyone who knocks him as a goal kicker. He held the all time ARL/NRL point scoring record for years kicking leather balls from sand mounds. More importantly, a champion human being. Great photo Garry.
Also needs to be remembered he didn't start playing NSWRL until he was 26 so his total points scored could have been higher if he started earlier.
