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'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."

"Samrani is one of my favourites. He's easily our best option at centre atm but I believe his best position will be in the back row. We've got no ability coming through so we definitely need to go to market for 2 centres and a quality yardage/aerial…"
"Axel, one of the best replies on this site. Sick and tired of all the 'agony aunts' on here complaining about this and that. Looks like angst lives rent-free in their brains."
"I mean we are all guilty of it at some points. I have been in the past. But it is just annoying to be fair that there is no in between. If the team is good it's "Premiers or nothing" or slightly bad "We are spooners for the next decade" all because…"

"Samrani has shown it isn't always the young players with massive hype that will succeed at NRL level. Didn't have the wraps some other players have but there is a reason he was given an opportunity and has grabbed it.

"That is what was mentioned, personal issues. He spent a year or two out i think? But yeah no idea what happened as he would have debuted in 2021 had he stayed."

Remember Rodney Hogg

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.
