  1. it’s a great read and on his day he was unplayable. seems very humble, especially when compared to that wanker Lewis;

    Wasn’t too humble when he crunched Souths’ winger Jim Swift into the Leichhardt fence however in early 80. Rabbits won 26-2 after that and had their best year in ages.

  2. Patrick Skene says

    Thanks Peter,
    I think all Leaguies in that era had a bit of mongrel, even the humble ones.
    Best.
