Never saw him play as he was a bit before my time. But did meet him as a youngster. We would play our junior league grand finals at Leichhardt and he happened to be at our one (Ermington-Rydalmere). Very encouraging to all our team. The comments above attest to the gentleman he was.

Lidcombe Oval is still available. There’s a centre of excellence next door – Auburn Pool.

'I don't have spare dollars': Death sentence for Leichhardt as NSW Premier rejects Tigers' reno plans

My closest NRL ground is Robina Stadium. The atmosphere is better at a funeral. The seats are worse than Jetstar. But my daughter loves it, so off we go. I’ve become a real enthusiast of my local team, the Currumbin Eagles. Home games every 2nd Sunday at 3pm. No big stars, but good honest grass roots footy. And I can walk there!

Leichhardt and Belmore are the soul of the NRL - fans should enjoy them while they still can

Don’t forget that Leichhardt Oval is the only rugby league ground with heritage listed toilets!

I’m really envious of the crowd lying on the grass in the Christchurch sun, watching two teams getting right into their craft.

Duckett at stumps last night: “India sent a night watchman in, so they must be wary of us”. Sure mate.

Meanwhile Stokes will be hoping India get a 500 run lead so they can really embrace a positive challenge.

Great win by KC. Kept hanging in there all the way. 49ers had a golden chance in overtime. Full set of downs in the red zone and barely made a yard.

Yes fully deserved. Even got a new pool.

Can you remember your team’s last victory lap - and what’s the likelihood of them winning Grand Final anytime soon?

They were pretty bad. You would see better sports stadiums in Equatorial Guinea around that time. It was the worst ground in Sydney by a long long way.

It was a dreadful ground even for us hardened heathen westies. It deserved to be burnt down.

Well I hope you live a long healthy life but it seems very unlikely.

I was in Yr 11 in 1986 when the Eels last won. I reckon I’ve got about 35-40 years to live and I’m not confident I’ll see us win again.

Our no.9’s are solid/average players and we don’t have enough speed out wide. Mid field finish at best.

Parra v the salary cap: The Eels have kept their stars, but has it thrown the whole team out of kilter?

If we were French, we’d be rioting every time petrol went up.

Cricket can’t solve Australia Day conundrum - it’s not up to sports to make tough decisions for governments

Australia Day certainly generates some discussion these days. More interest than a “how do we get the Wallabies back on track” discussion.

It’s the reunion tour. Could be a bit rusty.

'A little bit embarrassed': Red-faced Maxwell set to avoid sanction after apologising for boozy bender

Yep spot on. Any young West Indian player that puts in good consistent performances in Test matches, is not going to be playing Tests for too long.

COMMENT: What's the point in playing the Windies? Only the future of Test cricket itself

Don’t think I’ve seen Australians get behind an overseas team so much. Hope they can be competitive.

'Rose that grew from concrete': Windies tyro's incredible 12 month rise from bouncer to Tests, Smith's 'mind whirring'

Cricket can build their own stadiums then. Govt has a big part to play…in Australia. Don’t know about the rest of the world.

Talk is cheap: Only real investment can stop Test cricket ending up like rugby league

Cleary could give him a year as a back up 9 in the front line defence. Work that shoulder over.

Fui was the grouse. But he’ll have to sit on the bench.

Whose faces would be etched in stone on your NRL club’s Mt Rushmore?

Parra: Sterling, Kenny, Price and Steven Edge. Can’t have Gibson if the Roosters have claimed him.
