Player of many sports back in the good old days, and now a fan of most.

Do you ever wonder what the fabulously wealthy owners of the silvertail clubs like South Sydney and the Sydney Roosters dream about every night before nodding off to sleep in their harbourside mansions after a hard day of counting their money?
Have you ever run out onto the footy field, looked at the size of the opposition players grinning at you from the other side of the half way line, and wondered whether your hamstring strain was still troublesome enough to rule you out of today’s game? It happens, believe me. I once ran out onto […]
Both Parramatta and Manly-Warringah entered the competition in 1947 on the wave of optimism that followed WWII, and have been traditional rivals ever since. Back then, both teams were situated on the extremities of Sydney, and fought for their survival.
In my last article, I picked a team of UK Test players who made it to the grand final in Australia, and there were quite a number of talented players to choose from.
There’s been a long tradition of players from the UK coming to Australia to ply their trade.
The problems at the Wests Tigers have been discussed at great length on The Roar, and everyone has their own theories as to what got the club to such a level of flat-line mediocrity.
This is the second instalment of the series where we run our eye over the nudie run, one of rugby league’s greatest traditions.
If there’s one thing that rugby league players love, it’s a tradition.
All sports thrive on hoodoos, suspicions, juju and old chestnuts.
Every season marks the end of the road for some NRL players, many of them legends of the game, while others are battlers who fought their way into the top grade.
In this, the final article in the series dealing with the great grand finalists, I’ll name the greatest grand finalists of all during the last seven decades, from 1950 to 2019.
This is the seventh article in a series where I’ll name who I think were the best players to play in a grand final in each decade, focusing this time on the 2010s.
It seems that ever since Cronulla’s porch light was finally switched off after their long awaited maiden grand final victory in 2016, they have been bumping around in the dark, and failing to capitalise on that success.
This is the sixth article in a series where I’ll name who I think were the best players to play in a grand final in each decade, focusing this time on the 2000s.
This is the fifth article in a series where I’ll name who I think were the best players to play in a grand-final in each decade, focusing this time on the turbulent 1990s.
With just over four months until the start of the 2022 season, and the player negotiation window open for business on Monday, what better time to have a look at the Dragons’ recruitment for next year.
This is the fourth article in a series where I’ll name who I think were the best players to play in a grand final in each decade, focusing this time on the 1980s.
This is the third article in a series where I’ll name who were the best players to play in a grand final in each decade, focusing this time on the 1970s.
This is the second article in a series where I’ll name the best players to play in a grand final in each decade.
This is the first article in a series where I’ll name who I think were the best players to play in a grand final in each decade, beginning with the 1950s.

Manly were quite partial to Wests “fibro” players in 1980. Apart from Brown, they also had John Dorahy and Les Boyd.
They had a couple of useful hookers besides Brown in Max Krillich and John Gray.
